A 25-year-old Perth man was charged with impaired driving and two counts of breaching con-ditions of a recognizance after police pulled him over on July 23.

A Perth Police press release said offi cers conducted the traffi c stop on Dufferin Street at 2:44 a.m.

Police also charged the man with possession of stolen prop-erty, after further investigation.

The man was held in custody and was scheduled for a bail hear-ing in Perth on July 25.

OPP seek vehicle in deadly hit-and-runBY GEOFF DAVIES

[email protected]

Ontario Provincial Police have confi rmed a Perth area man is the victim of a fatal hit-and-run, after police found his body on the side of Highway 7 early Saturday morning.

Sgt. Kristine Rae said police found the body of Benjamin Rogers near Innisville at about 3:30 a.m. Saturday, July 23, after being alerted by a passerby.

The 18-year-old resident of Tay Valley Township was found dead at the scene, said Rae, and police suspect he was hit by a passing vehicle sometime be-tween 2 and 3 a.m.

“From the information and the condition of the body, we expect it was large vehicle,” Rae said.

Lanark County OPP con-fi rmed the victim’s identity af-

ter an autopsy Monday.Police are investigating, and

believe Rogers may have been struck by a transport truck

They have made no arrests, and are still trying to identify the vehicle and driver involved.

Since news of his death spread throughout the commu-nity Saturday, there has been an online outpouring of sadness and support.

Hundreds of posts have piled up on Rogers’ Facebook pro-fi le.

They tell the story of an ac-tive, outgoing and beloved young man who had just gradu-ated from Perth and District Collegiate Institute.

“Always the leader, you knew what to do and how to take care of everyone. The boys are going to be pretty lost now without you, everyone is,” wrote one friend.

“I’ll never believe that it hap-pened to you, Ben,” wrote an-other.

“You were the life of the party, and everyone around you smiled when you walked in.”

Rogers is repeatedly de-scribed as the heart and soul of a wide network of friends, as an energetic, fun-loving leader, loved and respected by his fam-ily, friends and peers.

News of his death is sending shockwaves through a tightly-knit community that has lost too many of its young people in recent memory.

As one friend said: “Now I truly believe that ‘only the good die young’, cause (sic) you were one of the best, buddy!”

Anyone driving on Hwy 7 be-tween Perth and Carleton Place on Saturday morning, between 2 and 3 a.m. – or anyone with specifi c information about the

incident – is asked to call the La-nark County OPP detachment at 613-267-2626.

Police are investigating the death of Benjamin Rogers, 18, who was found dead on Highway 7.

The 166th Perth Fair will be the fi rst in the area to showcase some new rides this summer, the president of the Perth and District Agricultural Society, Blair Machan, says.

The Spin-Out is a ride former-ly found at the Ottawa SuperEx. Since the cancellation of this year’s SuperEx, people will be able to enjoy it at the Perth Fair for the fi rst time before it – and other rides – move on to other fairs in the region.

“It will be the fi rst in the area for these rides,” Machan said.

Robertson Amusements Ltd. is providing all of the fair’s rides and its website describes the Spin-Out as “one of the wildest and most exciting mid-way rides available today.”

Riders are strapped into seats on the outside edge of the ride, which then begins to rise, the website said. The base of the ride revolves around a large pad on the ground while seats spin, twirling riders in every direc-tion – as well as upside down.

The Ali Baba ride is fresh from the factory.

Sometimes failure is more mo-tivating than success.

Kris Plant found that to be true during a grueling two years of hard training and competing in half Ironman competitions, while striving to attain one goal: to own a coveted spot at the Iron-man World Championship 70.3 competition.

The revered triathlon, also known as the Half Ironman worlds, consists of a two-kilome-tre swim, a 90-km bike and then a 21.1-km run. This year’s world championship is being staged in Las Vegas on Sept. 11.

After working hard and about

fi ve close calls, Plant secured a spot to compete at the event in May. It will be the fi rst time the Perth-based athlete will be making her mark on the world stage.

“I hope to do well, but I’m also very realistic,” she said between training sessions at the Perth and District Indoor Pool last week.

“I’m a full time RN in the emer-gency department, I run a boot camp three times a week, I’m a mom and I’m doing this – so I’m stretched a little thin in terms of training time compared to some of the other women who will be there,” she said.

“But I’d still love to get top 50,” she said, with a sly but

fi erce smile.

QUALIFYING

Qualifying proved to be a bumpy road for Plant, which she said made earning a spot at worlds even more meaningful.

Plant competed at Timberman, a half Ironman in New Hamp-shire, in the summer of 2009 and missed a worlds spot by just a few placings. She returned and did Timberman again last August and came closer – but still didn’t capture a world-qualifying spot.

“I worked really hard for that to get ready and then I missed getting a spot,” she said.

NEWS

BY GEOFF DAVIES

[email protected]

For years, the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital has had good reason to be proud of how it performs on the front-line of healthcare. Now, its fi nancial books also offer some cause for celebra-tion.

For the fi rst time since the 1995 merger of two community hospitals created the corporation, it has retired its long-term debt.

Todd Stepaniuk, president and CEO of the hospital, delivered the news in his re-port at the hospital’s June 28 annual gen-eral meeting.

At the end of its 2010 fi scal year, the hospital held almost $100,000 worth of long-term debt, in two loans from the Bank of Montreal, according to the hos-pital’s fi nancial statements for the fi scal year which ended March 31, 2011.

In 2011, the hospital fi nished paying off one of those loans. About $55,000 remains from the other loan, and is due to be paid off in 2012.

Since it is scheduled to be repaid with-in then next 12 months, it is not consid-ered long-term debt.

While this is good news for the hospi-tal, it still holds short-term debt, to pay for its day-to-day operations in the face of its working capital defi cit.

That defi cit grew to about $2.6 million in the last fi scal year, up about $1 million from the end-of-year balance for 2010.

Aside from the many current pres-sures in the healthcare industry – more demands and less money, for one – part of the problem is the fact hospitals have to forecast everything they will do and pay for more than a year ahead of time, says Richard Schooley, treasurer of the hospital’s board of directors.

“Hospital fi nances are quite foreign to most business people,” he said, in an interview after the June 28 meeting. Hos-pitals are funded in bundles at the begin-ning of the year, but accurately guessing how much will be needed is a near-impos-sible task, he said.

While operating on a six-fi gure defi cit might not work in the private sector, he said, it’s not uncommon in healthcare.

“Not a bank on Earth would lend me money with that kind of working capital defi cit,” he said.

“Fortunately, or unfortunately, health-care just doesn’t work like that.”

Hospital now free of long-term debt

The last fi scal year saw some big leaps made by the local hospital foundation.

The Great War Memorial Hospital of Perth District Foundation, which raises funds for the hospital’s Perth site, saw its bottom line take a roughly $160,000 leap last year.

Thanks to a 130 per cent increase in donations between the 2010 and 2011 fi scal years, the foundation saw its net revenue jump out of the red and into the black.

Whereas 2010 saw a loss of about $75,000, the next year ended with al-most $83,000 in the bank, according to the foundation’s 2011 fi nancial state-ments, which were presented at its an-nual general meeting on June 23.

Margo Hallam, the foundation’s exec-utive director, says this success speaks volumes about the community’s gener-osity.

“We have families that donate (be-tween $5,000 and $10,000) every year. That adds up really quickly,” said Hal-lam.

Money donated to the foundation goes

directly to the capital equipment list of the hospital’s Perth-site, she said. It’s essentially a wish-list, detailing all the equipment they need. The list for the coming year includes everything from stretchers to colonoscopes, for a total price of more than $1 million.

Jocelyn Gordon, a board member and bookkeeper for the foundation, said that, of the roughly $1.1 million received in donations last year, about $750,000 went towards the hospital’s new CT scanner.

This cause garnered signifi cant re-sponse from community groups and private donors, she said. The Gray fam-ily and some anonymous donors gave gifts of considerable size.

A large part of the foundation’s rev-enues from the last fi scal year – almost $500,000 – came from donations towards the CT scanner from the previous year, which were carried over to this year’s books in accordance standard account-ing practices, Gordon said.

The funds raised at the Black Tie Bin-go event, which made profi ts of about $54,000, were not counted in this year’s fi nancial statements, as it happened af-ter the foundation’s fi scal year-end.

By now, the Glen Tay Block Race is more than just an annual event. Its roots run deep in the community and it serves as a reunion, historical tradition and a chance to gather and appreciate competi-tive running in a small-town setting.

This year’s instalment will take place on Aug. 25 starting at 6 p.m. in front of the Perth Museum.

Gord Poole, one of the organizers, said

the Glen Tay race is one of the oldest races around, having started in 1907. Ed Code is recorded as picking up the brag-ging rights for the inaugural run.

“There’s a real history to it, which I think adds to the run overall,” Poole said, noting the race schedule saw a break dur-ing the war years, but was brought back as a centennial project in 1967.

“It’s a small town race that seems to attract a lot of people who enjoy the feel of racing in this type of atmosphere,” he said.

Poole said at 14.7 kilometres, the race

route can prove challenging. He admits it’s not a distance you would typically see for a race, but even so about 150 usually show up to participate.

He said those people come from across eastern Ontario and western Quebec. Even some international visitors have been known to race, Poole said.

The Glen Tay Block Race starts in front of the Perth Museum on Gore Street and ends at the Museum.

According to the organizers, Branch 244, Royal Canadian Legion sponsors the current incarnation of the race. A repli-

ca of the Bill Wilson Memorial Trophy is awarded to the top fi nishing male entrant and a replica of the Perth Runners Tro-phy is awarded to the top female runner.

Competitors have some tough times to beat. The overall men’s record was set in 2003 by Steve Boyd with a time of 45:14, while the women’s record is held by Hel-en Cooper who set it in 1982 with a time of 54:36.

be there. The Friday night parade will be back af-ter being cancelled last year due to the construc-tion project on Wilson Street.

“This year we’re back in parade mode,” Machan said. The fair offi cially opens on the evening of Sept. 2. Friday will also be Bracelet Day from noon until 6 p.m. and the demolition derby is scheduled to take place after the parade.

Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo will have its own tent in the children’s area this year and will be showing off its collection of alligators, crocodiles, turtles and other creatures.

Musicians are on tap starting on Saturday night, including international ABBA cover band ABsa-lute Gold. Wade Foster & Doubleback will play on

Sunday, along with The Bowes Brothers and step dancing group the Buster Brown Dancers.

Cattle shows including the Lanark County Hol-stein Show, which takes place every two years, will showcase 150 of the county’s best Holsteins, Machan said.

“It’s a pretty impressive show,” he said.Special events such as a pet show, the antique

tractor pull and lawnmower races will also take place. Various contests and competitions will be on site, and kids are especially encouraged to sub-mit entries, Machan said.

All entries must be received by 4 p.m. on Aug. 26. Machan, who has been involved with the fair for the past 25 years, said the 200 fair board volunteers help make the fair happen every year.

From front pageThen at a half Ironman staged

in Syracuse, NY in September, Plant earned fi fth place, but was met with another disap-pointment: there were only four world-qualifying spots available at that competition. She had missed the mark by one place.

“Then I got thinking – what should I do differently?” Plant said. “Instead of sulking about it for a long time, I got busy.”

She lost weight, threw herself into bettering her time on the bike and ran harder.

To prepare herself for the hot temperatures she would experi-ence in subsequent spring and summer events, Plant worked out on a stationary bike upstairs at the Perth pool all winter to subject herself to the high hu-midity.

“I changed everything that I could do myself,” she said.

After a winter of hard train-ing, Plant attended the half Ironman held at Walt Disney

World Resort in Florida in May of this year.

Admittedly swimming poorly, but catching up by having a good bike and run, Plant fi nished third.

“I thought I was going to make it but then I learned there were only two spots available,” she said, shaking her head.

“There were some tears. I put six months of training into this and I was disappointed, to say the least.”

Plant said that lit a fi re under her and she signed up for her next event in Indiana right then and there.

“I’m usually nervous before a race, but this time I knew I was going to do it and I wasn’t feel-ing any of the normal anxiety,” she said.

At Indianna, she fi nished the swim portion in 13th place, then had what she deemed a fantastic bike and was in seventh. “I got off the bike and ran the hardest I’ve ever ran,” she said.

Despite the bike portion being overly windy and the running portion very hilly, Plant said she managed an average of 33.9 km/h for the 90-km bike and did the run in one hour, 48 minutes (1:48). All that coupled with 37 C weather resulted in a complete energy spend, said Plant.

“By the end I was totally done,” she said. “I was literally lying on the ground - I had abso-lutely nothing left in me.”

But it was worth it. She fi nished in fi ve hours, 14

minutes which was a personal best for Plant in the half Iron-man.

She earned fourth place in the event, with only two spots up for grabs for the world competi-tion. However, it worked out that two of the top seeded competi-tors weren’t attending the world event – which meant Plant got a spot at the international compe-tition.

“I was so happy,” she said, still smiling at the thought. “Just

because I worked a bit harder, biked harder, and ran as hard as I could I got the next girl by three minutes.”

Plant said it showed her that the constant training and push-ing herself since the prior De-cember was worth it.

“Persistence is important, but failure is really important,” she said. “Failure motivates me more than success. I wouldn’t have gotten what I got without fi rst experiencing failure.”

Now Plant is in training mode again as she prepares for the World Championships.

The only athletes that get the opportunity to compete are those who qualifi ed around the world – the best of the best. Plant said about 2,500 people will compete.

She is currently focusing on bettering her swim, but also on training in hot weather to get ac-climatized to exerting herself in intense heat that might be expe-rienced in Las Vegas.

“I go out to train in the heat of

the day,” she said. Her training partner, John

Hetherington and her husband, Cory, keep her motivated and grounded at the same time.

Hetherington, himself an Ironman competitor, has had his share of setbacks this spring as he was hit by a car while training in Florida at the end of March.

“We were supposed to do Dis-ney together, and then worlds, but he got hit and fractured his pelvis,” Plant said.

Hetherington was back biking with her in late April, which is a testament to his dedication and strength, she said.

Plant will be cheered on in Las Vegas by her entire family, as her children, husband and more family members are accompany-ing her. The fi rst few days will be focused on her race, she said, but after that, they will all be able to vacation together.

Keep an eye on Plant as The Courier will follow up with re-sults in September.

Heritage Conservation District Study Begins

Beginning in August, Ecoplans Limited will begin the study phase of the Heritage Conservation Dis-

trict project. A Heritage Conservation District (HCD) is a planning process which respects a community’s heritage and identity. The value of the HCD extends beyond the protection of cultural heritage resources. It includes an enhanced quality of life, sense of place, cultural and economic vitality, and healthy cultural tourism. Through careful study a heritage district des-ignation promotes understanding and appreciation of an area’s heritage values and attributes. If successful, the development and adoption of a district plan pro-vides the community with an important tool for ensur-ing the integrity and sustainability of the area’s unique cultural resources and for managing the impacts of cultural tourism on the environment.

Anti-Idling By-Law Now in Effect:

On June 30th this year, the Town of Perth’s Anti-Idling By-Law #4091 came into effect. Idling is a wasteful and unnecessary practice that harms the environment and human health. The By-Law prohibits idling when vehicles are parked in any non-travelled roadway. Non-travelled roadway means any portion of public or private land accessed by vehicles which is not part of an actively travelled pathway, and in-cludes parking lots and stalls, driveways and loading bays. Exceptions to the By-Law include emergency vehicles, vehicles engaged in a parade, vehicles re-quired to remain motionless due to an emergency, traffi c, weather conditions or mechanical diffi culties, or vehicles where inside temperatures must be main-tained for medical purposes. By-Law #4091 can be accessed on the Town’s website at www.perth.ca. Many municipalities in Canada have taken action to improve their air quality through the passage of similar By-Laws. We look forward to working with our residents to demonstrate continued leadership on en-vironmental initiatives and keep Perth a healthy place to live or visit. The Town is working with several part-ners, including ecoPerth and the Canadian Federation of University Women, on a promotion and education campaign to ensure that Perth and area residents are aware of the By-Law and the benefi ts of eliminating unnecessary idling. Watch and listen for bookmarks/fl yers and radio spots over the coming months!

Council Meetings Resume After the July break from regular meetings, Perth Town Council will resume their regular schedule ef-fective August 2nd. The agendas, minutes and reports associated with all meetings of Council and Commit-tees/Advisory Panels of Council are posted to the Town’s website in advance of the meeting. Please visit our website at www.perth.ca and look under “Council/Administrative Services.”

Skateboarding Prohibited on Sidewalks

The use of skateboards, in-line skates, roller skates or roller blades on town sidewalks and streets in the downtown area is prohibited by By-law #3961. The By-law also prohibits bicycles being used on town sidewalks. Skateboard enthusiasts and cyclists are asked to respect the rules to help make our sidewalks a safe place for pedestrians. The By-law can be found on the Town’s website, or by visiting Town Hall during regular business hours to obtain a copy of the Sched-ule related to skateboarding. The Town of Perth Community Services Department encourages all skateboard enthusiasts to make use of the Skateboard Park located at Conlon Farm Recreation Complex. The Town’s skate park features equipment such as a grind rail, bench ramp, and a wedge, to name a few, for your recreational enjoyment.

Jamie Davidson doesn’t know who broke into his hunting camp and stole six mounted deer heads from the walls – all he knows is that he wants them back.

“We went down to the camp two weeks ago and somebody had peeled them right off the walls,” Davidson said on July 19.

“Somebody actually stole them right off the wall.”

Davidson’s hunting camp is located near his home between North Gower and Kemptville. He said there were a total of nine tro-phy-quality deer heads mounted

on the wall and six were stolen. Some of the heads belonged to Da-vidson; while others belonged to friends he has hunted with over the years.

“These aren’t your average deer heads, these are 10-point plus heads,” he said.

Davidson said he has no idea why anyone would steal a mounted deer head – they aren’t worth any money, but are rather a symbol of pride for the hunter who shot the deer.

“The value in a trophy head is to the person who took that head,” he said. “I think if you’re going to throw it on Kijiji, somebody might give you 100 bucks.”

Also, Davidson said the two most attractive heads weren’t taken.

“What struck me as strange was the two nicest heads that we do have are still hanging on the wall,” he said.

There was absolutely no dam-age done to the camp and no other items were taken, he said.

“They didn’t trash anything in the actual hunt camp,” he said. “There were other things there they probably could have stolen.”

Whoever took the heads would have needed a large vehicle, he added.

“These things have a big back-board wood shield behind them,” he said. “These things don’t fi t in

the backseat of your car. You’d need a pickup truck.”

In addition to the hundreds of dollars he’s spent over the years getting them mounted, Davidson said they also have sentimental value. His wife and children often accompany him hunting and are saddened at the loss of the trophies Davidson had worked to attain.

“It took me 15 years to get those heads,” he said. “They’re (my fam-ily) as disappointed that these things are gone as I am.”

Davidson made a report to the OPP, but has also taken out adver-tisements in various newspapers looking for information about the theft.

He also put up posters through-out the area.

As a result, he received a phone call from a Perth resident with in-formation that the heads may be in the Perth area. Since then, he has put up posters here as well.

Davidson is offering a $1,000 reward for the recovery of the mounts.

In the meantime, he said he is still trying to piece the puzzle to-gether.

“It doesn’t make sense to me,” he said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or Davidson at 613-297-1424.

Taking care of our fellow Canadians

Our neighbouring community of Smiths Falls should take a bow. Each and every volunteer there has selfl essly offered a helping hand these past few days as we have witnessed the

town dive into its emergency preparedness plan.Residents have opened their doors and their hearts to neighbours

of Northern Ontario who have left their families and their homes to fl ee to safety, while fi re rages around them.

Our First Nations brothers and sisters have found new friends in Smiths Falls — and Ottawa and various other communities in south-ern Ontario who have aided in this emergency evacuation process.

It’s more than a community effort. It’s a national effort. Federal and provincial agencies are ensuring host communities have the essentials needed to provide a comfortable and safe living arrange-ment while our guests are in our towns. Lanark County has also de-clared a state of emergency.

As of Sunday evening, fi re has destroyed more than 537,000 hectares of property and displaced 3,591 people. No further evacuations are planned at this time as the Ministry of Natural Resources, through First Nations Leaders, is constantly re-assessing the need for future evacuations.

Keeping families and communities together has been a priority. Reg-istration lists are being shared among all host communities to make it easier to locate and reunite family members who may have become separated. The Canadian Red Cross has also set up a central registry to help residents of evacuated communities locate family members.

Currently, there are 118 active fi res in Northern Ontario with more than 2,600 fi re personnel fi ghting the blazes that are presenting chal-lenges every minute of every day. There are 17 heavy bombers in the air, and four light bombers, not to mention more than 100 helicopters and other support aircraft.

But winds are changing; the rains are coming and hope for a quick and safe return home is on the horizon.

Smiths Falls’ 614 guests — the highest number of evacuees is here — are being treated to some hometown hospitality.

It’s refreshing to see our neighbours pull together to help fellow Canadians. This is why there are mock disasters planned, so we can better take care of our own people... as it should be.

OK doc, I fi nally accept the fact that I’m go-ing to be taking my

long-term medication forever. No more jitters and shivery withdrawal fi ts. No more walls closing in on me as I strive to do without. I made a telephone call to my brother in England, who used to be director of public relations for a major UK drug company until he walked out, disgusted by a lot that goes on behind the scenes. I thought he’d say “Stick it out,” but instead he confi rmed my doctor’s fi ndings that I should take the stuff for the rest of my life, based on his own experience with prescrip-tion drug withdrawal.

It makes us sound like addicts but I assure readers, illicit drug use is totally unacceptable to me, as I told my children when they were growing up. I assured them I’d stick by them for most things but not if they fell for il-legal smokes or shots or whatev-er, because they were pressured into thinking it was the “cool” thing to do. And thank goodness they took me seriously.

So at the end of my chat with my brother, down went the tele-phone and it was back to the blahs. Or so I thought, until I noticed, at the back of our pill shelf, a large bottle of something called Greens+. It had been sit-ting there for quite some time and I have no idea how it got there. Especially when I read the price label. Way out of my usual range of expenditure on vitamins. We get old, we get fru-gal. We have to. What we have is likely all we’ll ever have at this stage of our lives. Which is perhaps why, when I can’t get to

sleep, I lie there thinking what I’d do if I won the current multi-million-dollar lottery.

I don’t really advise this way of getting sleepy – you can get quite worked up trying to decide if large sums of money would be good for the grandchildren and whether a holiday condo or two on various coastlines might be more than we could cope with.

Back to Greens+. Perhaps it was a gift from my friend out west who has a holistic approach to things. So maybe it would be worth a try. Peering into the jar, I was confronted by what looked like dirt. It even had a small bag if silica gel down there, presum-ably to stop it turning into mud. Seizing a magnifying glass, (why such small type on such bottles, I constantly ask myself ?), I not-ed that, in one measured cup of water or juice, I should ladle in one teaspoonful of the stuff, gradually increasing the dose to three teaspoons, on an empty stomach. Now it really did look

like mud but, stirring vigorous-ly, I gulped it down before break-fast and hoped for the best.

And guess what? The best happened. My body welcomed it, not only as a cleansing agent, but with an unexpected surge of energy. My mind felt clearer; no more groggy days. No more go-ing back to bed to sleep the day away. No more thinking about jobs I should be doing, yawning and muttering to heck with it. I recall, in the early days of moth-erhood, after not enough sleep and the ongoing rigours of dia-per changing, back-patting and all the other fun things of bring-ing up babies, I found myself, morning after morning, sitting on a chair staring at the window where a great cobweb hung, and thinking I really should take a swipe at it. Soon. Maybe. When I had the energy. But I don’t think Greens+ was readily available in those far off days.

I am now on the full dosage and feel about 10 years young-er. In spite of the price (well worth it for the health benefi ts) I tracked the same bottles down at Foodsmith’s and even found some similar tablets I may try next time. Incidentally, while browsing through the store, I discovered that other items I use a lot, such as my daily nibble of crystallised ginger, are much cheaper there than elsewhere. We Perthites are cer-tainly lucky to have such a good, healthy place to shop.

But before a great surge of readers clear the shelves of Greens+ I should perhaps calm them down a bit by saying it doesn’t actually make me dance on table tops. Yet.

Last week, as the mer-cury climbed and the population suffered, it

occurred to me there isn’t really a heck of a lot to do when it’s hot. Well, I suppose there is, but there are also a lot of restric-tions on things like, well, doing stuff outside. Okay, I’m exag-gerating a little. I mean, people were still going out running when the humidex was in the high 40s. Not me. I wouldn’t do it – not even without a kilt.

I suppose it stands to reason that in a country where we en-dure extremes, we should be al-lowed to complain. After all, few countries in the world can boast hitting minus 45 C in the winter and plus 45 C in the summer.

That’s just annoying.Some folks spend all winter

griping about the cold and the snow, only to spend all summer saying, “It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.” So, even though the weather has cooled a little since last week, I fi gured it couldn’t hurt to think about some ways to beat the heat should the hot breath of heck blow on us again. Here are some of my ideas:

1. Stay inside. It’s a yucky idea, but it has to be said. Some-times, especially for the young, the elderly, the frail, the people with health conditions and the cranky, the heat is just plain dangerous. Unfortunately, stay-ing inside and enduring the SpongeBob marathon on televi-sion can also be dangerous be-cause it stomps all over your last nerve. It’s important to have a game plan for inside, especially one that involves doing things

away from screens. Since bak-ing cupcakes is not ideal when the world is on fi re, maybe mak-ing sundaes would be better. Or fi ll a bathtub with ice and stage a fundraising summer polar plunge! Or maybe lie around with large fans and pretend you are on some sort of exotic jour-ney! I dunno.

2. Thing is, summer is about being outside, so the more ways you can fi nd to survive the heat outdoors the better. So get a pool! Have I mentioned this (in an entire column last week) be-fore? OK. So if you can’t have a “real” pool, then get one of those blow-up wading pools.

We have the one that is six feet long by four feet wide by two feet deep or thereabouts, and it can be handy. The kids love it, but I remember spending a heck of a lot of time sitting in a simi-lar one when I was pregnant with child number two during

a hot summer. In fact, I think I really need to make better use of our wading pool. With a little imagination, my real “pool-cov-etation” issues will be a thing of the past.

3. This seems to be a logical place to suggest drinking lots of fruity adult drinks, especially ones with the little umbrellas. As much as it seems they would help to beat the heat, we (ahem) grown-ups know alcohol can dehydrate us and probably we shouldn’t drink a lot of it around the kids anyway. Drink water instead. This public ser-vice announcement has been brought to you by....

4. Here’s an idea – get a cool job. I mean get a job that has air conditioning or a walk-in freezer. Become a lifeguard so you can go swimming or at least fi nd a job that offers the prom-ise of a refreshing swim at the end of the shift. I’m thinking of when I was a gate attendant at a provincial park as a student. It was so nice to hit the beach at the end of a shift! Does anyone hire 40-year-old gate attendants? Of course then I would bore the rest of the gate staff to tears with stories about how “In my day, we didn’t use computers to register campers, we fi lled the forms out by hand! And when they found a campsite, we stuck a sticker on a big map to show it was occupied! And we liked it! We loved it!” Well now that’s a sure-fi re way to make a cool job not so cool. It also makes those fruity adult beverages sound re-ally good right about now.

Well, off to the wading pool!

OP-ED PAGELETTERS

This summer, lots of the big monarch butterfl ies may be seen fl itting around our fi elds and gardens. Studies on the life cycle of these and other butter-fl ies in recent times now reveal that they contain poison in their body tissue. Recent discoveries show that two monarch butter-fl ies contain enough heart poi-son in their blood to kill an adult starling. Little wonder that you or I have never noticed a bird try-ing to capture one of these well known butterfl ies. The question is how do these other creatures know enough to leave these but-terfl ies alone? Maybe they have learned over the years, like us humans, to leave certain critters undisturbed.

Some good examples, in this regard, are the hornets, wasps, and bumble bees that we know spell trouble if their living quar-ters are disrupted. Unfortunate-ly, the sting from one of these insects is not only painful to anyone receiving it, but can trig-ger a life threatening reaction in some people. Little wonder, for it has been said that a wasp’s poi-son is as toxic as that of a cobra and only the fact that it has a small carrying capacity keeps it from becoming a real menace to everyone rather than an aching nuisance. Incidentally, a wasp’s stinger is a formidable weapon, a miniature hypodermic needle connected with a poison gland. However, you’ll be glad to know that a bee can sting you only

once, while a wasp or hornet can make repeated agonizing at-tacks.

Another common critter that has poisonous possibilities and one that anglers have to be care-ful with when handling is the bullhead or catfi sh. The pectoral spines and barbels of these much sought-after spring delicacies are connected to venom sacks. Such a combination makes for a very sore hand or fi nger if they penetrate the skin. A pair of nee-dle-nose pliers and some care in handling the catfi sh will reduce the risk of this hazard.

From our earliest childhood memories, most of us were warned about picking up toads. Their warty skin releases a vile substance when this amphib-

ian is handled and is a means of deterring a predator. And while this fl uid can be harmful if it comes in contact with the eyes or a laceration, the old story about kids getting warts from toads is a handy excuse for not picking them up.

One story that was often be-lieved to be just an old wives’ tale has now proven to have more truth than fi ction. This concerns the little mouse-like mammal called the shrew. Not only are these the smallest animals in the outdoor world and, for their size, the most belligerent, they were also probably the fi rst true mammals on the earth. Most im-portantly, from our point of view, is that one species in particular, namely the short-tailed shrew, has a very poisonous bite. The saliva of this shrew contains a neurotoxic poison that helps to subdue any prey that is bitten. It may also cause severe discom-fort in humans. This, in part, may explain why cats and dogs often worry shrews to death but will not devour them. Lest we get the idea we should go out and eliminate every shrew that we encounter, just keep in mind that shrews are very benefi cial in the control of mice and forest insect pests such as the Gypsy moth larva.

Again, it seems that when we are dealing with outdoor crea-tures, the best rule is to look, take pictures if possible, and leave them alone.

Poisonous possibilities in wildlifeDear Editor,

The articles in our local news-paper, Page 1 of June 21 and July 7, came to my attention. I had a similar experience approxi-mately two years ago, not only once, but having been convinced that the railway tracks were im-proved, I was brave enough to try it again the second time.

My wheelchair front wheels got stuck in the track crevice where the train travels. Thank-fully, both times, two husky men lifted me to safety. The average person plus wheel chair weighs approximately 250 to 600 lbs. This is a very frightening expe-rience. Scooters, strollers and walkers can have this happen.

After the second time, I called CPR, who was concerned if I was hurt or my wheelchair was damaged. I followed up with my service wheelchair company, and the width span of front wheels is a width of wheel base issued by the manufacturer.

This problem – roughness of track, etc. – is a huge issue. There has to be a solution. The Almonte railway track is not a problem, yet there have been incidents in Toronto, Kingston and Perth.

Our Perth sidewalks are a big

problem: lack of gradual edging, manholes with damaged grate covers and other issues.

Thanks to the caring people who have come to my/our res-cue.

We have the right to travel via wheelchair, to enjoy Perth from either side of the railway track.

I’m a fi rm believer that “life goes on,” and not feel sorry for myself, but this issue is very frustrating and scary to have in-cident with possible tragedy. It’s an accident waiting to happen.

We need to have this issue of railway tracks at Drummond Street and Wilson Street solved. Other problems could be fi xed by our local Perth maintenance. Let’s have our political repre-sentative speak out for us.

It is time we quit grumbling and speak out. One of you or your loved ones could be con-fi ned to a wheelchair, not to men-tion a young child in a stroller or a person in a scooter, or some-one with a walker.

Solve these terrible issues NOW whomever is responsible. Perth is a beautiful town, all of us need to enjoy it.

Dear Editor,I live in the country and I

drive around on highways and back roads. The only thing that really bothers me is an animal that has been laying on the road or side of the road for a week at a time. It’s sad.

If I see one, I will stop and take them off the road and bury them. No animal should have to go through that. I know I

wouldn’t want that. So I fi gure if I can stop and bury them in the ditch, why not. It only takes a minute or two to do it.

You wouldn’t like it if it was a family pet. So what’s the differ-ence? I will stop and take it off the road and I wish others felt the same. I love animals, big or small.

COMMUNITY

The 2011 Heritage Mica Festival kicks into high gear soon and the Friends of Murphys Point are busy putting the fi nal touches on plans for the event. Spanning four weekends from Aug. 20 to Sept. 11, the festival celebrates the history of the mica miners and families who settled the Perth area circa 1900.

The Silver Queen Mine, one of the Sev-en Wonders of Lanark County, is at the centre of the activities throughout the four weekends of the festival.

Tours and spirit walks of the mine and bunkhouse have been carried out by staff and volunteers of Murphys Point Park for many years. This year however, the Friends of Murphys Point have com-missioned the writing and production of a theatrical piece of work that tells the story of the Silver Queen Mine.

The Silver Lining will be performed on Aug. 20 and Sept. 3 with two perfor-mances each of those evenings. Be pre-pared to be entertained and educated as the audience becomes part of the lives of the early miners. Be advised that advance reservations are recommended and there is a limit to the size of the audience for each performance.

The Lally Heritage Homestead Day that was the focus of last year’s one-day festival returns on Saturday, Aug. 27 with a more comprehensive series of displays and activities. One major change is a se-ries of musicians playing throughout the day.

Corkery Road, Tay Valley Winds, Linda Grenier, Victor Maltby, Japhy Sullivan and the Manson Family will provide an ongoing variety of heritage music. Their tunes will be the backdrop for displays of heritage crafts and trades.

In addition, you can take in museum and artefact displays and meet the com-mittee from Tay Valley Township that is planning their 200th anniversary celebra-tion. The Silver Queen mine and bunk-house will also be open for self-guided tours.

Three concerts will be featured at the outdoor park amphitheatre during the Heritage Mica Festival. Corkery Road,

a local Celtic band takes to the stage on Saturday, Aug. 27. Freshwater Trade from the Peterborough area joins us on Sunday, Sept. 4 with its original and traditional tunes of the early days of logging and the waterways in Canada. The fi nal con-cert on Saturday, Sept. 10 features Crazy Strings with well-known Jenny and Dan Whiteley.

Families will love the opportunity to take to the waterways in a Voyageur Ca-noe with the Rideau Roundtable. Tours will be offered at six different times throughout the festival with advance tickets recommended. These canoes are 34-feet long and take 18 paddlers each. All ages can be accommodated with lifejack-ets available for everyone from toddlers to adults. Enjoy some tales of the early days on the Rideau while paddling on Hogg Bay!

Another major event is the Olde-Tyme Carnival Day held in the area of the Main Beach.

Dust off your croquet and sand-castle building skills and come prepared to en-joy an afternoon fi lled with a variety of games, music and food in a carnival at-mosphere.

“We are excited to present the history of the Silver Queen Mine and the fi rst settlers of what is now Murphys Point Park”, said Friends President Stephanie Gray.

“All of the events of the Heritage Mica Festival are family-friendly and costs have been kept at a minimum to encour-age participation by all.”

A day use pass or current camping per-mit from any provincial park is required to enter the park for the festival. Single day use passes are only $14 for your en-tire carload ($11 for seniors or $7 with a vehicle disability permit).

Why not plan to camp at Murphys Point Park on one of the festival weekends?

Once at the festival, the only events that require tickets are The Silver Lining and the Voyageur Canoe tours. Tickets for these two events are available at $2 per person or $5 per family. Contact us for ad-vance reservations to these two events.

This year’s Heritage Mica Festival has received fi nancial support from the Min-istry of Tourism’s Celebrate Ontario pro-gram as well as from the Tourism Event Marketing Partnership Program.

Also appreciated is the support of Tay Valley Township and Ontario Parks.

LETTER

Dear Perth,I hope you haven’t forgotten

me because I sure haven’t forgot-ten you. One again I’ve packed up my Toronto apartment for your Weeping Willows, rushing riv-ers, blue dragonfl ies and people who don’t assume you’re asking them for change when you wish them “Good Morning.”

In case you have forgotten me, let’s get reacquainted. My name is Lindsay Kyte.

I was an actor in the Classic Theatre Festival’s Blithe Spir-it last summer. I played the clum-sy maid, Edith, who messed up her high-class employers’ care-fully constructed life in more ways than one.

And offstage, I was determined to become one of you in any way I could.

You see, though my bills have been delivered to a Toronto ad-dress for a few years now, I am, and will always be at heart, a Cape Bretoner. This means I adore being part of a communi-ty. Last summer, I loved strolling through Perth and having people who saw the show call me over to have a glass of wine on their patios. You should never invite a Cape Bretoner over for wine. I’ll show up every day.

I loved spending all day fl oat-ing in the Tay, drying off and then piling into the theatre to do the show. I loved the stars that shone over Stewart Park at night and the little path I named “Avon-lea” where I’d go to dream all day until the mosquitoes started feasting on me.

I loved that people dropped off baked goods to our rehearsals and my lovely billeter took such good care of me that she did ev-erything from sew up my broken beach bag to make sure I had snacks after the show.

I loved the amazingly talented cast who inspired me with their craft, instinct and dedication. And taught me to make sushi.

I loved Laurel Smith, our di-rector, who is so precise in her directing that she can press on one moment and a whole play will suddenly explode.

And Matthew, her husband, who does the outreach for the Classic Theatre Festival and makes the best guacamole in all of Canada (and maybe the States. It is untested).

When I got word this fall that I had been cast again in the Festi-val, I was beside myself with joy. Perth became a home to all of us last summer.

The friendships I formed then have continued on all year. And though I’ve got a great gang here in Toronto, there have been times when I’ve been rushing down a street and suddenly stopped, try-ing to see a sunset, somewhere.

I could only see it refl ected in the glass of the commerce build-ings. And I would wish with all of my heart to be back in Perth, a place which is almost boastful in how many lovely perches it can provide for gazing at the sun’s colourful yawn before twilight.

This summer I’m playing “Ag-nes” in The Fourposter, in which I age thirty years on stage. It’s a really exciting challenge and I love experimenting in just how to do it well.

My cast mate Scott Clarkson and I, when we were initially planning our travel to Perth, dis-covered we both have morbidly obese cats (Birney and Battle Cat, each weighing in at 20 lbs) and Scott plays a slew of instru-ments and I sing. If you hear some dogs howling around 11 p.m. in Perth this summer, per-haps they’re telling us Classic Theatre folk to stop singing We Are An Island over and over again. Or perhaps they’re telling just me!

Also this summer, I have done something that has my mother shrieking in excitement (if you turn your ear towards Cape Breton, you can hear her). Three years ago I attended the Liver-pool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA) in Liverpool, Eng-land. LIPA is founded by Sir Paul McCartney. Now, having just completed my thesis, I offi cially graduate July 29.

I will fl y over to England (spon-sored for free by Air Transat) to get my diploma. And just who will be there shaking my hand to give it to me?

Sir Paul himself ! Laurel graciously gave me two

days off of rehearsal to fl y over. My Mom and two aunts will be there as well, screaming like schoolgirls.

Again, turn your ear east and I’m sure it’s Mom.

Not only that, the Classic The-atre Festival has declared Au-gust 14 “Beatles Day.” After the show on this day, I will be giving a talk about LIPA, Liverpool and meeting Paul McCartney, having done so only two weeks prior. Then Scott and I will be playing and singing some Beatles songs. I can’t wait!

Sunsets, theatre, a Beatle and a community that cares about those who come to join it, whether it be for a summer or a lifetime. I have a feeling, Perth, that you and I are going to be lifelong friends. May-be I’ll talk Sir Paul into coming over for a dip in the Tay!

See you at the show!

Cheers,Lindsay

Joan Perkins has seen a lot in her 28 years of dedicated ser-vice to Lanark County Interval House.

“My association with the shelter has shaped my life in a very positive way,” she said. “And the lives of my family too. My children were introduced to the idea that violence against women existed at a very young age through my work.”

So it is with mixed feelings that she greets her retirement next week.

After nearly three decades of working at the shelter as the vol-unteer coordinator and shift re-lief, Perkins says she will deeply miss the connection she has with the staff, clients and especially with the volunteers who make such an important contribution to agency. It has been Joan’s ex-

traordinary respect and obvious admiration for the volunteers that has created the incredible group of over 110 volunteers who support the shelter, many of whom have been at it for more than a decade, some even more than two decades!

As one of the founding mem-bers and former staff of the shelter, Fern Martin notes, “Joan was a perfect volunteer coordinator. She cared for the volunteers in many ways.”

Many things have changed over the years. When Perkins was still in nursing, before join-ing the shelter in 1983, she saw a lot of abused women. But it was never named that. No one labelled it as violence against women, in fact, no one spoke of it at all. Now there is so much more awareness and education about abused women, and yet, the violence hasn’t ended. But

Perkins has never lost her con-viction that there is still hope. Her passionately delivered mes-sage today to abusers, “We will win!”

One thing that has never changed is Perkins’ ability to in-spire others. Chair of the board of directors of Interval House, Amy Nadeau recalls, “I have been involved with LCIH since I was 13 years old. When I decided to become a volunteer, Joan did my volunteer interview. She was the fi rst person to ever ask me ‘what does feminism mean to you?’ In a world where words had been defi ned for me my whole life by parents, school or society, Joan asked me to defi ne this word for myself.”

While Perkins admits she will miss working at the shelter, she speaks of her future plans with a smile and excited twinkle in her eye.

Executive director, Erin Lee-Todd sums it up, “Her contribu-tion to the evolution of LCIH

has had far reaching impacts. Her legacy will be honoured al-ways.”

Perkins retires from Lanark County Interval House after 28 years

Perth’s Kate Goodfellow and her crew of eight rowers made Canadian history on Saturday.

For the fi rst time, a Canadian crew has captured the gold med-al in the under-23 women’s eight at the World Rowing Champion-ships in Amsterdam, the Nether-lands.

The crew not only broke na-tional records, winning in 6:03.23, but also shattered world best times on the Bosbaan course.

Goodfellow went into the championships with a positive and very determined attitude. When she spoke with The Perth Courier prior to departing over-sees for training earlier this month, Goodfellow said her crew knew what it was capable of and was striving for that top podium fi nish.

“As long as we want it more and are willing to push ourselves fur-ther than any of the other teams in order to attain it, we’ll get the result we want in Amsterdam,” she said.

“We’re training to chal-lenge for gold, and at the very least, win a medal.”Even though weather conditions

were less than amicable (the World Rowing body cites cool temperatures and rain on the slate for last Saturday), the crew managed to exceed expectations.

Canada crossed the fi nish line almost three seconds ahead of second place New Zealand, who took silver in 6:06.02.

The United States earned bronze in 6:07.37.

Goodfellow has been living and training in London, Ont. since the beginning of May at the na-tional training centre for the Ca-nadian women’s rowing team.

She left July 10 with the Cana-dian team for Europe, destined to train in Belgium, before head-ing to Amsterdam, to compete at the worlds.

The Canadian record-setting crew consists of Goodfellow, Jen-nifer Martins of Toronto; Chris-tine Roper of Jamaica; Lauren Wilkinson of North Vancouver; Sarah Black of Ottawa; Laura Cowal of Thorold; Ont.; Susanne Grainger of London, Ont.; Lisa Roman of Langley, B.C., and El-len Fawcett (coxswain) of St. Catharines, Ont.

Watch The Courier for more coverage as we get in touch with Goodfellow when she returns from Europe!

Goodfellow’s crew shatters Canadian, world record

Perth native Kate Goodfellow, pictured here last fall, was part of an eight-member rowing crew who cap-tured gold at the World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam on Saturday. The girls set a new Canadian record with a fi nish of 6:03.23.

Massey Leach Rathwell is all smiles, continuously touching the silver medal that proudly hangs around his neck.

Small wonder as the local ath-lete garnered the medal on the international stage.

Leach Rathwell is one member of a 10-person crew who paddled to second place over the weekend in the mixed, spirit challenge at the 2011 World International Canoe Federation Dragonboat Club Crew Championships in Toronto.

He is involved in the Paddle All/Paracanoe program at the Carleton Place Canoe Club. The program was introduced at the club in 2009 and is aimed at providing individuals with dis-abilities the opportunity to par-ticipate in sport canoeing and kayaking.

Not only did the program give Leach Rathwell an introduction to the sport, but it opened the door to international competi-tion for the local athlete.

Over the weekend, Leach Rathwell took to the water on the world stage and was rewarded for it with his team capturing silver.

He said he wasn’t nervous be-fore the competition started.

“I was excited,” he said, smil-ing and adding that he has never done anything like that before.

Dragon boating is an ancient Chinese sport that has recently taken huge strides in terms of Canadian popularity. It involves large crews of paddlers, in long boats, some measuring up to 12-metres.

Leach Rathwell only found out he had the opportunity to com-pete with the crew from Carleton Place about a month ago.

His mother, Kim Leach Rath-well, said that Massey was called up to compete in the dragon boat challenge, as the team needed 10 rowers and was short one posi-tion. The local team competed against four other teams includ-ing crews from North Bay and Ottawa.

“The tented village was abuzz with a variety of teams from around the world,” said Kim.

Massey said there were a lot of people watching the race – but he didn’t fi nd it distracting. He agreed that he stayed focused.

“My family was there,” he said, noting that his family was making a lot of noise to get him to go faster during the race.

“They were cheering: go team!” he told The Perth Courier Monday morning.

Even with the intense heat experienced on Saturday, Kim said Massey was eager, a feeling which was only amplifi ed by his team and coach.

“Massey made several new friends and enjoyed the competi-tion,” she said.

When his team crossed the fi nish line Massey said he felt happy. He said he would love the chance to compete in such an at-mosphere again.

Leach Rathwell is no stranger to athletic success. He has been making headlines for several years, earning medals in snow-shoeing and swimming at Spe-cial Olympics events in the past. He also participates in golf, bas-ketball and baseball.

PLAYING IN MEMORYPhotos by Andrew Snook

The James D. Canuel Memorial tournament took over Conlon Farm last weekend with team from across Ontario joining Perth United members to battle for the ball. Above, the Glengarry Strikers are handed the women’s trophy by Marilyn Canuel for earning top honours in their division. It’s the fi fth straight year the Strikers have won. Above right, members of the Perth Rocs jostle for the ball during a men’s division match in the annual tournament, which is hosted by the Perth United Soccer Club.

FORE A GOOD CAUSE

Perth Police Chief Pat Capello, takes a swing at the ball during the annual Chappy Open golf tournament held on Friday at the Perth Golf Course. This year’s instalment saw about 100 golfers come out for a fun day on the links. The event raised $1,400 for Camp Merrywood.

By the time I went home from work last Wednesday, my arms felt like Jell-o. Two long strings of Jell-o with fl oppy wrists at-tached, in fact. Two long strings of Jell-o, with fl oppy wrists that felt like they were being ripped from my torso.

My arms had the workout of a lifetime last Wednesday after-noon, as local provincial record-holding archer Ted Ladelpha put me through my paces in an infor-mal archery lesson.

I had no idea what I was get-ting into when Ladelpha offered to show me the fi ner points of the sport.

We met earlier this month for a story while he was organizing the inaugural P&P Archery 3-D Tournament Charity Shoot set for July 30 and 31.

The tournament will consist of about 40 3-D animal targets in-cluding deer, an alligator, buffalo, cougars, foxes, rabbits, a goose and more, laid out on a course just east of Perth on Highway 7.

I am nowhere near tourna-ment ready, I soon discovered. I was so excited to try archery that I jumped at the chance to take a crash course.

After some initial instruc-tion – an introduction to a Hoyt Dorado recurve, how to string a bow, how to position myself, how to string an arrow – don’t stick your elbow up so high, Rosanne – I quickly realized I am lacking upper body strength. We down-graded to a 35-pound limb and I was off to the races.

In my anticipation to try and shoot, I was a little shaky. My excitement got the better of my hand-eye co-ordination and I let go of the fi rst arrow before prop-erly lining it up and anchoring my hand at the corner of my mouth.

I overshot the target, the ar-row grazing the top and sailing neatly under a heavy, green tarp housing snowmobiles for the summer. Oops.

This is harder than it looks.Now, I’m the kind of person

who prides herself on catching onto things quickly. While I en-joy a challenge, I will work my tail off to overcome hurdles with great speed. This whole archery thing is something I can see will take some work to master.

In fact, it takes years, as La-delpha can attest. He said that even after shooting for 15 years, he still takes lessons and has a coach. No wonder.

After digging the stray arrow out, and leaving my preconcep-tions lodged under that tarp, I start again. I’m eager to listen to Ladelpha, to ease the frustration I’m feeling at my apparent lack of ability with a bow and arrow.

Ladelpha remained encourag-ing, though, noting that each shot is its own beast. He told me not to think negatively about each indi-vidual shot, but to think positive-ly and start fresh each time.

“Archery is like golf,” he said. “Today you’re a hero, tomorrow you’re a zero. You can have a bad day, but the trick is not to let that get into your head.”

With his encouragement, I rhymed off another 20 arrows or so and was amazed to see actual progress. Of course, it helped to have a pro sitting beside me giv-ing me pointers on every shot.

I was soon celebrating four ar-rows solidly in the centre of the target.

After two straight hours of shooting, my arms felt like soggy pool noodles and I called it a day.

I can defi nitely see archery becoming a guilty pleasure of mine. If I was willing to invest the time in it, I think I could re-ally progress – even if my arms are trying to tell me otherwise.

Check the sport out for your-self at the P&P Archery 3-D Tournament Charity Shoot this Saturday and Sunday at 16904 Hwy. 7 near Perth. Proceeds from the shoot are going towards the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, Great War Memorial site.

If interested, contact Ladel-pha at 613-297-5306 or email [email protected]

Registration is from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on the Saturday of the shoot. Vendors will also be on site.

A homegrown group of aerobic gym-nasts from Perth’s Saltos Athletics have a lot to be proud of after cracking the top fi ve at the Association of Na-tional Aerobics Championships inter-national competition.

Andrea Reith, Kasey Whalen, Allison Tolgyesi, Kailey Sweeney and Katrina Wright comprised the Canadian Na-

tional Aerobic Gymnastics team com-peting in Las Vegas last week, which took fourth overall in the AeroDance competition. “As usual, these athletes represented Canada with grace, man-ners and some really awesome rou-tines,” said coach Louise Miller via email from the competition.

She said that AeroDance is a new division to the sport. The champion-ship is for groups of fi ve to 10 ath-letes and focuses primarily on dance performance combined with aerobic

gymnastic elements. Miller said she is proud of the girls and all the hard work they have put into their training.

The entire team was successful in-dividually as well, with Sweeney one spot away from garnering top 10 in the fi nals. She earned 11th in her category. The athletes are taking the next few weeks off and will be back at it again in mid-August.

Stay tuned to The Courier for a full wrap up when the athletes begin to train again.

OPP crackdown on impaired boaters

A number of tough changes made last year in the Ca-nadian criminal code now

make impaired boating as seri-ous an offence as impaired driv-ing. According to statistics released by the Canadian Red Cross Soci-ety, 78,650 boaters were involved in small craft accidents last year, resulting in 350 deaths. Alcohol was responsible for 43 per cent of the fatalities. The offence of impaired boat-ing is now on par with the offence of impaired driving, and the of-fence can be committed whether or not the boat is in motion. The amendments to the crimi-nal code also allow police offi cers who suspect that a person operat-ing a vessel has consumed alco-hol to obtain a breath sample. “We carry onboard both an Alert and a portable radar gun as standard equipment,” stated Const. Al Gainforth of the Perth OPP marine patrol. Gainforth went on to say that there is now no distinction be-tween the operation of a motor vehicle while impaired and the operation of a vessel while im-paired. “Refusing to provide a breath sample in either a motor vehicle or a vessel is also an offence,” he noted. A boater convicted of a fi rst of-fence is subject to a minimum fi ne of $300 and for a second of-fence, imprisonment for not less than 14 days. For each subsequent offence, the minimum punishment is im-prisonment for not less than 90 days. These sentences are minimum sentences only, and the court in each case has the discretion to or-der a term of incarceration of up to six months where no bodily harm arises as a result of im-paired boating. Where bodily harm does arise as a result of impaired boating, the court can order a term of im-prisonment for a period of up to 10 years. Anyone committing the offence of impaired boating resulting in death could be liable to a jail term of up to 14 years. An OPP pamphlet on the sub-ject takes the impaired boating statistics one step further by de-claring although 43 per cent of

boating fatalities involved alco-hol, 74 per cent of those were le-gally impaired. The brochure also points out the most common cause of death was capsizing or being thrown overboard, of which 70 per cent of the fatalities were by drown-ing and 16 per cent with hypo-thermia. “On any given weekend we will stop and check anywhere up to 60 boats,” noted Gainforth. “Our main purpose is to inform people about safety equipment and re-mind them drinking while boat-ing is illegal.” Most people know the laws, said Gainforth, and anyone they catch has usually forgotten to bring along their safety equipment and fi gure the police won’t be out on the lake that day anyway. The OPP brochure indicates drinking is allowed onboard a vessel if it can be classifi ed as a residence. In other words, it has to contain sleeping accommoda-tions.

Conlon projectmight start soon

Members of Perth town coun-cil were expected on Tuesday night to vote on and pass plans for a major recreational development on 43 acres of municipally owned land known as Conlon Farm. The overall plans could cost up-wards of $5 million, although no total fi gure has been reached. Phase three of the project calls for construction of a major multi-purpose building which would in-clude two ice surfaces and a gym-nastics room. The fi rst phase of the project

will cost $380,000 and, if approved by council, work could begin on the property within two weeks. Phase one, said recreation com-mittee chairman Coun. Bill White, will include clearing, stripping and grading of the property, along with construction of two soccer fi elds and one base-ball diamond. Of the $380,000, the town is hop-ing for a $190,000 Wintario grant and $40,000 to be raised through public and corporate donations. The municipality has $30,000 set aside in a capital fund for the project, which will be used for initial work on the site. While the current council is not committing specifi c funds for the building of the proposed are-na, Deputy-Reeve Chuck Mont-gomery said on Tuesday, “When the time comes there will be a place for it.” Initially it was believed there would not be enough land at the site to house an arena complex along with soccer fi elds and ball diamonds. However, the town hoped to an-nounce on Tuesday night an agreement to acquire 2.3 acres of adjacent land on the southeast end of the site. No date has been set for the start of phase two of the three-phase project, but it is expected to include two baseball diamonds, a toboggan slide and possibly four to six tennis courts. It is also hoped the site will eventually include lawn bowling, horseshoe pits, a playground, a recreational offi ce and a nature trail area. How much work is done this year will depend on the receipt of

the hoped-for Wintario grant. White said a fundraising citi-zens’ committee will be estab-lished, and he noted the construc-tion of the project will depend on fundraising and grant monies. He described the fundraising support as “crucial” and said, “That’s the challenge going out to all the user groups.” He added that the town is “go-ing to have to get a lot of funding and assistance” to make the proj-ect work.

Perth night at the races Local harness racing fans, horse owners and trainers will have the opportunity to enjoy a night at the track on Tuesday, July 29, when Rideau Carleton Raceway hosts Perth night. The event, organized by race-way offi cials, Perth town council and area racing enthusiasts, should attract a large number of local horses. Bob McLenaghan, president of the Ontario Harness Horseman’s Association, who acted as liaison person between the raceway and town council in organizing the evening, is pleased with the re-sponse in Perth. McLenaghan is one of several area sponsors who is busy handing out complimen-tary tickets. According to Everton Norris, who trains horses near Glen Tay, the raceway will have to produce a racing card to suit the largest number of horses in the area. In other words, if there are some horses eligible for a $1,500 claiming race, then it will have to be included on the evening card. Norris feels that Rideau Carleton will need to analyze local horse availability in order to make the event a success. Spokesman for the raceway, Mark Gryba, reports that previ-ous valley evenings have been successful and the track is look-ing forward to Perth night. Rideau Carleton will have the racing card out by Thursday, July 24 to allow trainers to decide on entries. Gates open at the track at 6:30 p.m. and racing begins at 7:30 p.m.

Antique collectionready next year

The Silversides antique tool collection located at the Perth Wildlife Reserve will open to the public next summer. According to Rideau Valley Conservation Au-thority area supervisor Carson Thompson, the collection now be-ing catalogued will number more than 1,800 pieces. A log barn, also donated by the late Dr. Jack Silversides, has been completely renovated to house

the collection. Visitors will be able to view exhibits of tools used in a wide variety of tasks by early residents of the area. A blacksmith’s shop is com-plete except for a hood over the forge. An impressive array of shoes, harnesses, nails and latch-es are displayed on the walls. Be-low, an authentic workbench is covered with handmade tools of the trade. Other sections of the barn will depict carpentry, coopering (bar-rel making) and saddle-making skills, to mention a few. A collec-tion of cooking utensils will por-tray life in early area kitchens. Julie Jackson, a summer stu-dent working on the project, is re-sponsible for the time-consuming job of identifying, recording and numbering each individual item. The engraved number will allow visitors to enquire about the background of a particular piece. The building has been designed to allow traffi c to fl ow in a circu-lar pattern. Thompson believes this will provide easier access to each section by large groups. The project has been plagued by delays. Because the building is unheated, work on the collection is limited to the summer months, and funding is also a serious con-cern.

More rigid enforcement of laws controlling the op-eration of power boats in

congested waters was unanimous-ly recommended by a fi ve-man jury which inquired on Thursday night into the July 1 drowning of 16-year-old Laurent Duvoisin at Rideau Ferry. The inquest jury found death was due to accidental drowning after the victim’s boat was in col-lision with a boat driven by Wan-da Faris of Smiths Falls.

McLaren retires from CP After completing over 42 years’ service as chief clerk at Perth freight offi ce of the Canadian Pa-cifi c Railway, Mr. P.O. McLaren was retired on pension on Mon-day last.

Police to getnew radio equipment

A motion sponsored by Reeve G.A. Livingston and Coun. W.J. Lynn, members of the Fire and Police committee, to supply the Perth Police Department with radio equipment, and that the police committee be authorized to purchase Canadian General Electric equipment costing $1,682 in accordance with the specifi ca-tions, was withdrawn by the mov-er and seconder to give members of council an opportunity for fur-ther consideration. Members of the council were agreed that the radio should be purchased for the police depart-ment. The question had been dis-cussed on several occasions for the past two or three years, and an amount for the purchase of the radio was included in the po-lice budget for 1961.

Council hears reporton tax arrears

At Monday night’s meeting of council, T.V. Lally, chairman of

the fi nance committee, informed council on the arrears of taxes owing the town. Fewer than 40 taxpayers now owe for unpaid 1960 taxes, and six of these owe for prior years. The amounts vary from $1 to as high as $617.60 for taxpayers’ indebted-ness for 1960 tax arrears, and of $1,048.76 total arrears owing by another taxpayer. The total amount owing by all for 1960 and prior tax arrears is about $5,500, and some of this is being paid off by regular weekly or monthly payments.

Parked car almostends up in the basin

After Alex Duncan of Perth parked his car at the rear of the post offi ce on Saturday afternoon, the vehicle slowly backed down a slight incline and stopped at the edge of the basin, at the entrance for the boats.

Accident sends six to hospital

Six persons were admitted to the GWM Hospital early Saturday morning after a one-car accident three miles north of Fallbrook. Injured were Wendall Elliott, 22, of Flower Station, driver of the car; Sylvia Murray, 18, of RR 4, Lanark; Darwin Murray, 15, of RR 4, Lanark; Terry Cardinal, 18, of Flower Station; Frances De-schamps, 18, of Flower Station; and Robert Lalonde, 17, of Flower Station. The accident occurred about 1:10 a.m. when the car skidded in the gravel on a curve, going out of control and crashing into a tree. A passing motorist, Leonard Lalonde, took three of the youths to the hospital, while Blair and Son and Young’s Ambulance re-moved the others from the scene.

Fair on track to be best ever The program for the Perth Fair is almost complete, and all indi-cations are that it will be the best ever.

A nostalgic look at yesteryear

Aug. 31 and Sept. 1 and 2. Work is now underway at the fairgrounds in erecting new fences around the west portion of the racetrack, and other improvements will be made before fair time.

Sewer issue being examined For some years, the town has had diffi culty in keeping the sew-er on Harvey Street clear, due to an accumulation of greasy waste being discharged from the cream-ery. Proctor and Redfern, the town’s consulting engineers, were asked by the council to examine this sewer and report their fi ndings.

Fish entries improving With fi shing generally poor this past spring and in the early summer, it is encouraging to note that it seems to be improving, with some excellent entries dur-ing the past few days, especially in the bass and pickerel classes. Three fi ne small mouth bass were entered from Otty Lake, one a particularly good fi ve-pound, 14.5-ounce specimen caught by C.D. Blackburn of Fayetteville, N.Y. on July 9. Walter Robins (10 years old), grandson of Walter Robins of Perth, caught a fi ne four-pound, 5.5-ounce bass last Friday eve-ning, and takes over fi rst place in the Junior Division.

Carleton Place downs Perth The Carleton Place Juniors de-feated the Perth team by a score of 4-2 on Tuesday night. The game was very good throughout, with excellent pitch-ing from Rod Basset of Carleton Place and Walt Kane of Perth. The last game of the season will be at Almonte on Thursday night, with the playoffs begin-ning at Perth next Tuesday.

COMMUNITY

BY IAN DOIG

Deep inside all of us lurks an abiding curiosity about the paranormal; about things that go ‘bump’ in the night… things that we know are real, at some lev-el, but that we can’t see. That’s why Scott McLelland’s The Paranormal Show has been packing them in for so many years! And now Scott has taken the great leap forward — a weekend festival of the mys-terious, the paranormal and the just plain weird — all taking place from July 29 to 31 at the Hay Shore Resort on Mississippi Lake, near Carleton Place.

The festival is planned as a complete weekend experience (there is camping on the grounds), although daily admissions are certainly available. The programme

includes live music, workshops, The Dia-blo World of Wonders, strongman events, strolling entertainers, a Gypsy camp featuring fortune-tellers, a chance to try your hands at old time carnival games, Abracadabaret — classical conjuring with James Alan — and an Artists’ Vil-lage, special guests, great food, diabolic games and much more — a great way to spend a day or a weekend. Costumes are welcomed — why not really get in the mood — but not necessary.

General admission tickets are $12, and are available from Tickets Please (www.ticketsplease) in Perth. Hours are Friday, July 29 from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m., Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. For further information visit www.carnivaldiablo.com.

The Carnival Diablo Festival of Wonders comes to eastern Ontario
