Perth doctor honoured for advocacy
INSIDE
BY GEOFF DAVIES
geoff.davies@perthcourier.com
PLOWED OVER The Lanark County Plowing Match was held over the weekend in Montague Township.
Sitting down to Sunday dinner with his family, Perth’s Dr. Alan Drummond got a phone call from Newfoundland. On the line was a colleague of his, in tears. At their June conference in St. John’s, he learned, the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians gave out their first award honouring a physician who had courageously spoken out to defend the quality and integrity of emergency medicine. They didn’t give the inaugural award to Drummond. Instead, they named it after him. Going forward, the “The Alan Drummond Award for Advocacy in Emergency Medicine” will be awarded by the CAEP to a doctor who has shown leadership
as an advocate for emergency medicine. “I’m really happy they did this before I died,” Drummond said with a laugh. Often, an award is named in memory of someone who has passed away. The nice thing about being around for the honour, he said, is you get to see who won it. Upon hearing the news, Drummond said he was “greatly honoured and deeply touched.” The feeling was amplified when he learned who was first to win the award in his name. Drs. Paul Parks and Raj Sherman were recognized with the Drummond Award for taking a stand against over-crowded Alberta emergency departments. Sherman, a member of the provincial legislature, was booted from his Progressive Conservative caucus for speaking out,
and now sits as an independent. Drummond describes their actions as “very courageous,” all the more notable because they led to “meaningful changes” in how that province deals with the issue of over-crowding. Drummond is a former president of the association and is still involved, chairing various committees and working groups. Though the decision to name it after him was a surprise, Drummond was one of the forces behind crafting an award to recognize advocacy. While it’s often not in a physician’s nature to speak out publicly about health-care issues, Drummond said it’s important they do, since they have firsthand knowledge of what the system lacks and what patients need. The idea behind creating the award was to promote the idea that advocacy is among a

IN BRIEF Kids find grenade Children in the Township of North Frontenac dug up a hand grenade Aug. 17, police said. The OPP’s tactical and explosives disposal units responded at about 3 p.m. and determined the device to be inactive. Police said any suspected explosive device should be treated as active and dangerous. If you find a suspected explosive device, leave it in place, undisturbed, and evacuate the area, police said. Call the police immediately.
Hydro truck stolen Perth Police responded to a report of a break-in at the Hydro One yard on Drummond Street West on Aug. 19. Sometime during the night, culprits stole a Hydro One marked Ford F350 pick-up truck, which was recovered later that day in Orleans. Police wish to remind everyone to lock their vehicles.

Hotline launched to gather health-care stories BY KASSINA RYDER kassina.ryder@perthcourier.com
Elderly patients are routinely being sent home from hospitals too soon and aren’t receiving rehabilitation services after suffering medical emergencies such as strokes, according to groups advocating for improved health care. Ontario’s hospitals have less acute care hospital beds than Albania or Mexico, and staff are discharging elderly patients early as a result, says to the group. Because they are being sent home too early, they aren’t receiving follow-up services after suffering strokes. Stroke victims often require speech-language pathology, which involves helping to re-learn speech, or sometimes even how to swallow. “The consequence is incredible pressure to clear beds,” said Mary Cook, executive director
of the Ontario Association of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists. “We feel the bulk of that pressure is on the elderly and seniors.” Cook’s group has partnered with the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions/The Canadian Union of Public Employees on an awareness campaign about a situation they say is forcing elderly patients out of hospitals and often into non-regulated private retirement homes. The groups have set up a hotline that will allow patients, or their family members, to share their stories. The information will be compiled in a report to be presented to the government after the upcoming provincial election. Callers will be asked to leave a message and a researcher will call back to gather information. They will also be asked if they want to share their stories with
the media. “I think it is more powerful when everybody gets to hear their neighbours tell their stories,” Cook said. The group is also supporting possible legal action against the province of Ontario for age discrimination contrary to the Canada Health Act. Michael Hurley is the president of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions/CUPE. He said patients who are sent home to be cared for by their families often have a false idea that home care workers will be on-hand to help, said Hurley. “There is an impression that you’re going to go home and receive comprehensive nursing care,” he said. In order to meet health-care standards, patients should receive 62 home care visits per year, Cook said. See ‘Hotline’, page 23

The 129th Annual Maberly Agricultural Society Fair is back on Aug. 27 to continue a long tradition of family fun. Held on the Maberly Fairgrounds, the day begins gearing up at 8 a.m. and will run into the evening. The Maberly Agricultural Society runs the event, which features an array of exhibits, competitions and games. Wayne Wesley, the society’s president, said the fair’s success has a lot to do with agricultural talent and tradition being showcased. “We have so much talent in Maberly, so many agricultural experts,” said Wesley. “It’s the pride of Maberly, I would say.” Wesley described the fair as a “family affair,” relying on the hard-work of almost 30 volunteers on fair day, rather than government grants. He and his wife, Joe Anne Wesley, have been attending the fair for decades, and now help to run it. Joe Anne, who runs the light horse show, in which almost 30 riders compete in a day of “showmanship, competition, and fun and games,” says it’s the event’s traditional grounding that keeps people coming back. “It’s the fact that it’s one of the few remaining one-day fairs, where there’s no midway. It’s an old-fashioned agricultural fair,” she said. Like her husband, she applauds the work of volunteers that makes it all possible, recalling one in particular, a man in his 70s who has been volunteering since he was 18. “This is what the small fairs are built on,” she said. There will be the return of Cow-Pie Madness, in which a cow is let loose in a pen with marked grids. For $10, people can buy rights to a square on the grid. If cow-pie lands in your square, you win. For information, call Skip Wesley at 613268-2423.

COMMUNITY
Town launches first phase of community improvement plan LAURIE WEIR
Fenik. “The CIP will promote enhanced co-operation and communication amongst the municipality, community partners and local residents. Working together on these revitalization efforts, and improving the prosperity and well being of our downtown will allow us all to realize our ultimate goals of social and economic sustainability and reinvestment in our heritage.” With the heritage conservation district already in place, Fenik said he is excited about having these two committees work together. “We will be able to move forward on some of the more involved aspects of this program including the Downtown Housing Program,” he said. The Façade and Signage Improvement Program is the first program to be implemented under the recently established CIP. The CIP is a tool that allows the municipality to provide incentives to stimulate new development and to support re-investment in property improvement
ljweir@metroland.com
Perth is getting a makeover. The Façade and Signage Improvement Program will begin its downtown revitalization and town council is encouraging applications from business owners. The program will provide local merchants and area property owners with a one-third capital grant (to a maximum of $5,000) to undertake façade and building improvements. These may include a new coat of paint, repainting stone or brick work, landscape features and physical improvements that will improve accessibility for clients and customers. Mayor John Fenik said this is the first stage of a 10-year program. “The Façade and Signage Improvement Program and Downtown Perth Community Improvement Plan are the first steps of council’s long-term commitment to revitalizing the heart of our community,” said
in a specifically designated area of town. Coun. Judy Brown, is also happy with the plans. “The program will have an immediate impact on the beauty of our downtown. We made this decision knowing full well that it will benefit our downtown businesses. The enhanced ability to care for and preserve our cultural and heritage assets will further solidify Perth as the place to be in Lanark County.” The town’s commitment of $25,000 will leverage $50,000 worth of private investment, said Shellee Evans, director of community services. “The overall investment into Perth’s economy is significant,” she said. “We anticipate a great deal of that money will be spent in the trade industry. These investments will signify to the students enrolled in the Algonquin College Heritage Institute that their industry will continue grow and flourish. It is important for these students to realize that the Town of Perth is committed to providing them
with opportunity. Our small role in the incubation of this highly skilled trade is as important to the long-term sustainability of our community as the initial capital investment.” The list of eligible projects is considerable. “We wanted to ensure that all measure of creative ideas could be realized. In developing the program it was important barriers to participation were avoided while at the same time protection and restoration of heritage elements was and is critical objective,” noted Eric Cosens, director of planning. JUST THE BEGINNING John Clement, chair of the Downtown Heritage Perth Business Improvement Area, said this project is the beginning of something that will revitalize the downtown core for years to come. Once the roll-out is complete for the CIP’s second phase and the town’s Heritage Conservation District, for which council
recently commissioned a study, it will give Perth a “tremendous boost,” Clement said. “Not only will it mean the façades will be improved, but interior renovations and upgrades to heating, electrical and plumbing improvements will increase the safety for tenants and add value to our buildings,” Clement said. Jeff Keays, economic development assistant for the municipality, said he’s been talking to merchants about the program for about a month and a half. Having seen lots of positive response already, he said he’s excited to see what comes down the pipe with the façades program. “We’re going to have a lot of interesting projects, let’s just say that,” Keays said. Program applications are available online at www.perthcanada.com and Fenik recommends those interested in participating act quickly. “Get them in quick, judging by the positive feedback we received during preconsultation, I don’t how long the money will last,” he said.

An emotional goodbye to longtime chamber co-GM ROSANNE LAKE rosanne.lake@perthcourier.com
The upstairs at the Stone Cellar was filled with emotion last Wednesday evening, as community members and business owners gathered to wish Madeline Bouvier well. Bouvier, the co-general manager of the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce, is leaving her post and moving to Kingston with her family at the end of the month. Tears and laughter were on the table at the formal send off party, as many thoughtful, and some funny, gifts were presented. Jack McTavish, president of the chamber board of directors, said Bouvier is an instrumental part of the chamber team, adding that her dedication, passion and ability to juggle day-to-day chamber operations is inspiring. The event also served as a chance for the community to welcome new general manager, Pauline Fitchett to her post.

Rooted in history Massive trees add element of intrigue to local landscapes
ROSANNE LAKE rosanne.lake@perthcourier.com
Peter Fischl runs his hand over the bark of a white pine tree whose trunk is almost five feet – in diameter. The enormous tree towers over the other mature trees near it, but lends a calm to the edge of the wooded area just north of Watsons Corners. “Somehow,” Fischl says quietly while observing the tree, “there are trees dotting the Perth and Lanark area that have escaped the logger’s axe.” This is definitely one of them. Its bark is notched with years of growth, withstanding weather, pests and people. If this tree could talk, it would have a story. It stands on the border of a field and forest, the land it overlooks likely cleared for farming years ago. A grandfather guardian for the younger trees around it. “I think trees like this provide us with a sense of permanence, strength and continuity,” Fischl said. Although the area is not necessarily known for its large trees, there are several in the immediate area that beg attention. Fischl is making a hobby of locating the massive, aged trees and photographing them. According to a report from the Ministry of Natural Resources, which documented the natural resources of Lanark County, of all the counties in the eastern Ontario region, Lanark has the most forest cover at almost 58 per cent. Even so, it’s a rare sighting to see a tree so big at its base, so tall and so magnificent that it immediately demands respect and inspires awe. Jeff Ward, stewardship co-ordinator for the Community Stewardship Council of Lanark County, said that it seems more common for people to take note of larger trees in urban settings, as development tends to work around them. “As far as throughout the Lanark landscape, it certainly isn’t that common, but you still come across some of these ‘veterans,’” Ward said, noting that they could be on either public or private lands. “Throughout history, most of the Lanark area has had some level of human involvement.” Even so, Ward said that some trees managed to survive untouched and have grown to an impressive size. In fact, Ward visited Howard Clifford’s land north of Flower Station several years ago, to see a cedar tree which Clifford said was gauged
at being between 300 and 500 years old. The cedar stands in a grove of old, tall trees that almost mirror it in height, but not in width. The stand of mighty cedars begs a certain stillness. Upon entering the grove, a hush falls. Lucky for the massive tree, it sits on land which is now under a conservation easement with Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy. Declared by Environment Canada to be an ecologically significant property, cliffLAND is the second largest fully legally protected area in Lanark County, second only to Murphys Point Provincial Park. Clifford said he didn’t know he had the tree on the 1,250 acres of property in the Lanark Highlands, until a native group asked to use the land in a sweat lodge ceremony. “They brought their elders to the land to get a spiritual feel for the land and make sure it was an appropriate place to hold the ceremony,” Clifford said. “We were walking through and discovered the grove of cedars, but this one stands out. You can physically and emotionally feel how special this place is.” Indeed, the sheer size of the tree is almost surreal. The ancient cedar has become like a friend, Clifford said, and despite the 25-minute hike deep into the forest on his land, he visits the tree about twice a month. Standing on the forest floor at the base of something which has been gently growing for upwards of 300 years, talking in whispers seems almost assumed. The gnarled bark on the tree is an ecosystem in itself, with insects and spiders nestled deep within cracks and crags. Its arms spread high above the other trees and provide a complete canopy, filtering light and muting sound. Clifford said he welcomes about 400 people a year to his property, which also includes the famous Blueberry Hill. However, only a handful of visitors have seen the tree, as it is hidden away in the depth of the forest, off the trails. In terms of formally documenting these trees, Ward said nothing currently exists for this area that he is aware of. However, stewardship councils from other areas have completed projects dealing with large trees, including Stormont Dundas and Glengarry which has put together a publication called Trees With a Story. Until something is put together, Fischl and other tree buffs will have to keep exploring the local landscapes in search of other massive trees which have withstood the test of time.

Perth council delays decision on bridge warning signs BY GEOFF DAVIES geoff.davies@perthcourier.com
The following are notes from the Aug. 16, 2011 meeting of Perth council. All councillors were present. Perth councillors decided to defer a decision on whether to remove warning signs on Stewart Park’s Cavers Bridge. The signs, which warn pedestrians of possible slippery conditions, are a pain for photographers, who often use the bridge in wedding photos and other work, councillors were told in a letter from local lawyer Greg Anderson. The issue came up at both of the August committee-of-the-whole meetings. Councillors were torn between preserving the spot’s aesthetic beauty, and protecting the Town from a potential lawsuit. Councillors decided to invite Carolyn Corkery, of Halpenny
Insurance Brokers, to make a presentation in September. LAST DUEL DOCKS Perth councillors have decided to award a contract to Skelly General Contracting for dock upgrades and a tourism kiosk in Last Duel Park. Councillors approved the motion after amending it to remove mention of Ennis General Carpentry and a nearly $5,000 budget deviation that would be required if the contract was awarded to them. Community services director Shellee Evans said the second company was added as a backup because Skelly had not had a chance to agree to all the conditions of the contract at Last Duel Park. By the time the Aug. 16 council meeting arrived, there was greater confidence around the council table that he would meet the requirements.
Those conditions were a $1,000 per day penalty for missing the Oct. 31 deadline, and to provide evidence that his workers are bonded. Enforcing the deadline is important to the municipality because the project is supported by a grant from the Build Canada Fund. As such, if the project is not completed by Dec. 31, the Town risks paying the full cost of the project, rather than one-third. The municipality’s concerns with Skelly General Contracting stem from a previous project to repair the roof of the Conlon Farm Chalet. While the quality of the work was satisfactory, Skelly missed the deadline of two separate contracts for the project, Evans said in her report. He attributed that to a death in the family and assured Town staff it would not happen again. Staff recommended awarding him the contract because his
was the lowest bid – by almost $69,000 – and the most comprehensive package. During discussions at the Aug. 9 committee-of-the-whole meeting, councillors questioned the legality of passing a motion with a back-up contractor. CHIP TRUCK ZONING Perth councillors unanimously agreed to amend zoning bylaws so a new mobile food vendor can stay in business. The chip truck, operating at 1847 Rogers Rd., has been approved to operate in the area for three years. The vendor has been operating in the industrially zoned area on a trial basis for several months. Councillors expressed their satisfaction with the quality of the business and the clean-state in which they kept their area.
FENIK TO MEET WITH PROVINCIAL MINISTER Mayor John Fenik will be attending the Association of Municipalities of Ontario in London, Ont., from Aug. 21-24. He told council that, while there, he will be meeting with Laurel Broten, the province’s Minister for Children and Youth Services. With Broten, Fenik said he would discuss the need for “quick and immediate response” for youth who need drug and addiction counseling. Earlier this month, council heard a presentation from Tara Cameron, program director at Perth’s Youth Action Kommittee. It was one of several presentations this year outlining the needs of youth in Lanark County. “It was striking to hear a young person say access to drugs and alcohol is easier than access to help,” Fenik told councillors.
Courts to stay public 10 years after grant-funded resurfacing BY GEOFF DAVIES geoff.davies@perthcourier.com
A last-minute amendment in council will mean the tennis courts at Conlon Farm will stay public for 10 years after they get resurfaced. The Town and the Perth Tay Tennis Club were successful in applying for a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, winning $120,500 to fix-up the courts. But while the foundation agreed to grant the money, it said it wouldn’t pay to resurface the courts leased and ex-
clusively used by the club. Instead, of the four courts, it would only pay for the two public ones, and it added a condition that they stay public for at least five years. At their Aug. 16 council meeting, Perth councillors decided to finalize the agreement with the foundation, but not before adding a condition of their own. Coun. Ed McPherson proposed an amendment that the courts stay public for 10 years, instead of five. “There’s a feeling in the community that the new courts
would be swapped with the private club in five years,” he told council. Councillors approved amended motion unanimously. In an interview with The Perth Courier, McPherson described how, while out on a run past the tennis courts, he began chatting with a couple of tennis players using the public courts. They were concerned they wouldn’t have use of the “good courts” once the wait-period ended, he said. They suggested a 10-year period instead. From there, it became a principled stand for McPherson, he
said. “If it’s taxpayers’ money, I think the tax-paying public should have as much access to it as they can. It is their money, one way or the other,” he said. “I wouldn’t want to see a conflict between the public and the club if the courts got switched,” he said. McPherson acknowledged all the courts seem overdue for a makeover, especially with the municipality recently investing in the arena and pool. “As a council, maybe that’s the next big expenditure for parks and recreation.”
Pam Anderson, president of the tennis club, said the wait period isn’t a big issue for many members, especially the older ones. With the physical toll tennis takes on a player’s body, many people just hope they’ll be playing in a year’s time. She noted as well that the wait period doesn’t mean the club can’t use the courts, just that they can’t rent them. Meanwhile, the club is looking forward to one day having fresh surfaces of its own. “Our turn will come around some time.”

EDITORIAL OUR OPINION
Jack’s great hope
J
ack Layton died Monday, in the early hours of the morning. A giant, his fall was felt across the country. Canadians nationwide poured out their grief for Jack. The widespread admiration felt for him – some because of his views, some despite them – is among the man’s finest legacies. He is widely remembered as a fighter, a man of strong ideals, and a person you’d be happy to call your neighbour. Politicians of all stripes recalled their fondest memories and favourite qualities of the NDP leader, a true achievement in a climate pockmarked by partisanship. Though he couldn’t keep his promise to return to the House of Commons in September, he made another pact in his final message to us. In Parliament, it will be as powerful as presence as his empty seat. Optimism and integrity are remembered as hallmarks of his career. It was with words of hope, however, that he chose to make his exit. In a letter to Canadians published hours after his death, Jack wrote about the power of hope, and promised us we can change the world, if only we believe in that power. Those who “are on journeys to defeat cancer and live their lives” must maintain their hope and determination, he wrote. Those in his party, and those in his caucus, he implored not to lose faith in their cause, but to recommit to it with even greater energy and determination. And to those young people, who look out at their futures and see an array of overwhelming challenges, who are more and more engaging in politics with their dreams and frustrations: “I believe in you.” But it was his final words – powerfully capped with the inclusive “We” – that touched so many, and will keep his spirit alive and fighting for years to come. “My friends,” Layton wrote. “Love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.” As the day approaches where 307 members will enter a House of Commons that feels remarkably empty, let us not forget Jack’s great spirit, that bridged political chasms and stared cancer, humanity’s great leveler, square in the eyes. And let’s not forget Jack’s great hope: that we can make the world – in which “life’s highs and lows are inextricably linked,” as he once prophetically wrote – a better place.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
A poem of problem parking in Perth Dear Editor, Guilty AGAIN, though I hate to admit, That I lost track of time, more than Perth will permit. Two hours it was, within a five-hour span, A shopper did NOT make up this plan! Especially a female who carries list upon list, Of things to buy & then things to resist. Getting back to my crime & my second offence, I’ll try to be brief & try to condense. Banking was first, as I needed some cash, Parked in a spot, then made a quick dash. Was back to my car in five minutes or so, Then on my way home, with my wallet aglow. After lunch & some cleaning I returned to main street, To deliver some posters for a draw for some meat. In front of Nick’s Barber Shop I found a great spot, Delivered his poster & thanked him a lot. Then off to the Courier to deliver theirs too, Sure appreciate their support & advertising they do. But lo & behold, I got sidetracked with chatter, With 2 “Wisemen”...…about a remarkable matter. (thought it was 3 wisemen…hmmm??) A mutual friend from Almonte, named Gerry, Had just won the Lottery & for that we were merry. So glad to hear about friends that do win, Whether be friends, or whether be kin. But while I was caught up in all of this talk, The By-Law officer was pacing the walk. In front of my car, but how could this be, I’d NOT talked for hours, I do guarantee! The ticket was there, my two hours had expired, A trip to Town Hall with 10 dollars was required. The fine will be paid with my lesson learned, About Perth’s FREE PARKING??…I’m a wee

bit concerned! Why spend all this money to improve the main street, And then ticket the shoppers that the stores want to greet? Isn’t this defeating the purpose of attracting Shoppers to Perth & all their interacting? Arches to greet them we’re wanting to build, But stay only two hours, go home unfulfilled! Downtown Perth is so pretty for all to enjoy, But ticketing shoppers, their desire you’ll destroy. You wonder why shoppers go elsewhere to shop, Maybe tickets like these, they’re wanting to STOP! Do we need to keep log books to mark all our trips, To the downtown area, to even buy chips? If shopping in Perth is headed this way, Then to other safe areas, I’m afraid many may stray. I’d rather see meters so at least I can track, How much shopping to do, & when to be back. This way I’d know how much time I’m allowed, I’d never get fined, my dad would be proud! A lesson was learned, so now I’ll concede, I won’t buy anymore than what I do need. Heaven forbid, chatting’s OUT OF THE QUESTION, Might tie up the parking & cause a congestion! I’ve already read many letters to date, Of frustrated shoppers, I CAN NOW TOO RELATE. Grin & bear it, pay up, & swallow my pride, In the great town of Perth I do now reside. So here’s to the next one that ends up like me, REMEMBER THAT PARKING IN PERTH IS NOT FREEEEEEEEEEEE! Respectfully submitted by Sue Doran, Perth

n the spring, some classes at Boychild’s school took part in the Junior Gardener’s program. Members of the Perth and District Horticultural Society visited the classrooms and worked with the students to teach them about gardening. For several weeks, the students in Boychild’s class took turns bringing home a different house plant. They had to enter information into a journal about the plant and its care, and then they were tasked with keeping it alive for the week. Fortunately, keeping the plants alive proved to be relatively easy. Remembering to bring them back to school on the appointed day was the hard part. At the end of the program, we reaped the benefits of the Junior Gardeners’ experience. The kids learned how to pot some plants and had planted seeds , and they brought home their handiwork. We have a bowl filled with hens and chicks (the plant, not the birds), which now grows prolifically in our kitchen window, and Boychild got to bring home a little goldfish plant. I have wanted a goldfish plant with the cute orange blossoms for years, so I was pretty happy to see the two little sprigs in a tiny cracked pot (no doubt it had been carted home by more than a few nine year olds over the weeks). We put it in a pretty new pot and left it on the kitchen table where it would get just the right kind of light. Unfortunately, it also got just the wrong kind of cat. One of them decided to investigate our work while we were out, and one of the little sprigs did not fare well. The other one got off to a
Stephanie
GRAY Past Deadline very slow start, but seems to be showing some interest in, you know, growing. Hurray! That’s not all. The Junior Gardeners brought home outdoor plants, too. “What are these?” I asked, knowing the tiny seedlings were either marigolds or tomatoes. “I dunno.” “Would they be marigolds?” I said. “Yeah, I think so.” Thinking marigolds would look nice in a couple of hanging baskets combined with some of the nasturtium and cosmos seeds that also came home, we set to work and performed the transplant. Everything grew. I still haven’t seen any marigolds, but I did (ahem) end up moving several tomato plants out of the hanging baskets and transplanting them into the vegetable garden. Yeah, we’re real horticulturalists over here, for sure. In addition to the plants and annual seeds, the Junior Gardeners also brought home some vegetable seeds.
Typically at our place we plant a few tomato plants (um, done!), as well as peas, carrots, yellow beans and pumpkins. The peas and carrots tend to go over well with my vegetablewary crew, but I end up eating a lot of the yellow beans on my own, and each year I am amazed by how few pumpkins are produced by so many blossoms! Thanks to the Junior Gardening program (and seeds donated by Home Hardware and Canadian Tire), we had a whole variety of different vegetables to try. We yielded a couple of nice zucchini before the plant shriveled up when we went away for a few non-rainy days. We have one pumpkin underway so far. We have been munching green beans, which were liked by all, and the “marigold” tomatoes turned out to be cherry – our favourite. We also got beet seeds, which I had to protect with an elaborate chicken wire-and-stake arrangement to dissuade the local bunnies from eating the tender young leaves. Despite their popularity with the long-eared critters, I suspect I may be the only one eating the root part. With the addition of our own pea and carrot seeds, we’ve had quite a dandy little harvest over the summer. I even had a little help at times with planting, weeding, watering and picking, so it has been true Family Fun™. Thanks to the Perth and District Horticultural Society and Stewart School for getting students involved in this program. We have learned lots about plant care, not to mention driving home the message about where our food comes from. Oh – and if the goldfish plant thrives, it will be a true success story!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Former Perth resident feels boating route truly stinks Dear Editor, This past Saturday (Aug. 20), I was taken by a nephew on a boat ride from Perth down the Tay River to within sight of the dam and the lock cut. In my youth and into my 30s, I was on that river frequently because: (a) we had a cottage just before the beginning of the marsh; and (b) I was always on the river at least the first day of duck hunting. But prior to that boat ride I hadn’t travelled that stretch of water for at least 30 years. Thus I was prepared to see
changes along the route. One change that greeted my eyes next to what used to be Tommy Spence’s farm was a collection of trees that had fallen into the river. At one time someone would have been dispatched to clear those trees out of the river. Apparently there is no rush to do such work today. Along the way I pointed out the entrance to the former route of the river before the Tay Canal was built by dynamiting a course through the present route, as is evident when one gets closer to the
stone house. I used to paddle a boat into that old river bed in search of bullfrogs. Now I wouldn’t dare do such a thing because of the stench that emanates from the sewage lagoon and assails one’s nostrils the moment one passes downwind from the lagoon. I submit that the lagoon is long past its “best before” date and needs to be either remediated or replaced. The Town of Perth has for many years had a cheap solution to its sewage problem. Perhaps it is now time for Perth council to bite the bul-
Garbage drop-off
let and investigate the feasibility of building a sewage treatment plant. There are undoubtedly grants available to defray the initial cost of constructing such a facility. I invite Perth’s mayor and council members to travel the route my nephew and I did on Saturday and get a taste of the welcome that greets boaters on their approach to Perth, a town I was once proud to call home.
Dear Editor, Please allow me to use this forum to draw attention to the cretin that left two ratty chairs at the end of my driveway on the Wild Life Road. They were not taken away by the waste collectors as you perhaps hoped, though I’m sure you didn’t care what happened to them after they left your truck. I have no way to take them to the dump so they can sit there. Maybe someone who knows you will recognize them and know what a loser you are.

Call for return of memorable item I wonder if you have any idea what the impact was of the theft you carried out on Haggart Street some time during the night of Thursday, Aug. 4.
You removed a beautiful piece of ironwork, depicting the sun, which was bolted into the wall on the porch of my friend’s house. This wasn’t just a piece of décor. It had very special meaning
for the owners as it commemorated the life of a beloved grandmother who passed away a few years ago. At any time this theft would have been a significant blow, but the timing of your crime couldn’t have been worse as
my friends are currently struggling to come to terms with the sudden death of their son less than a month ago. I cannot imagine what possessed you to commit this theft, but I am asking you, if you have any compassion at
all, to return this item to the property from where you took it, no questions asked. That would bring a little sunshine to my friends in their time of grief. Erica Riley

Install Working Smoke Alarms: It’s The Law Have you checked your smoke alarms to ensure they are in working condition recently? Have you developed and practiced your home escape plan? These are two simple questions that could have changed the tragic outcomes of three separate fire incidents in the province last week. Four adults and three children have died as a result of these fires and the Fire Marshall’s Office of Ontario has confirmed that the absence of working smoke alarms is a common factor in all three fatal fires. The fire service has been reminding people of the importance and necessity of smoke alarms for many years. It is the law to have at least one working smoke alarm on every level in every dwelling. If bedroom doors are closed for sleeping at night, consider installing a smoke alarm in these bedrooms. People need to realize that with all of the synthetic materials that are in our homes today, three minutes
may be all the time you and your family have to escape a fire in your home. This is why, in addition to early warning from a smoke alarm, a fast and effective home escape plan is essential to save the valuable seconds that may make the difference between life and death. If you require assistance or have any questions about smoke alarms or home escape planning contact the Perth Fire Department at 613-267-5574 or e-mail pechlin@perth.ca.

Dear Editor,
have all just become a piece of the story of the Town of Perth and the Museum.
Renewing the Dr. Wilson Collection at the Perth Museum The Dr. Wilson Collection is a key part of the rock and mineral holdings of the Matheson House Museum in Perth, which as a whole, was quite significant in its day (ca. 1930s). It is currently stored in the museum’s basement, however, and is in need of a little TLC. The Ontario Highlands Tourism Organization is pleased to be providing support to help restore this historic collection and get it back on display. Part of this support will be the organization of a two day work-party/publicity event where we will be calling on volunteers from both the amateur and professional mineralogical community to help get it cleaned up, sorted out, and looking its best for the grand unveiling of the Museum’s new rock and mineral collection. The public is invited to drop by the Museum on August 27 and 28th from 10am-4pm to see the work in progress. For more information call the Museum at 613-267-1947.

COMMUNITY
LanarKarnival celebrates fourth year KASSINA RYDER
The fun event featured numerous activities including a dunk tank, live music, a hands on reptile display and more. Approximately 25 volunteers from the church were helping out, as well as nearly 30 young volunteers from Ottawa’s Metropolitan Bible Church. “We’ve been coming out for as long as this has been going on,” said Metropolitan Bible Church youth pastor Joey Molloy. Jost said the idea of bringing people together is what makes the event such a success every year. “We wanted it to be a chance to come out and encourage relationships,” he said. “We’re all about connecting people.”
kassina.ryder@perthcourier.com
The fourth annual LanarKarnival drew a large crowd to downtown Lanark on Aug. 17. The carnival is organized by the Lanark Baptist Church, and Rev. John McIntyre said the event is a way to show appreciation to the village. “It’s wholesome fun,” he said. “It’s fun for families.” The idea was originally brought forward by youth pastor Lyndon Jost. Jost said the church was looking for ideas for an end of summer celebration when he came up with the idea for a carnival. “I suggested it and everybody else jumped on,” he said.

Emu burgers. Emu Stroganoff. Those are just a couple of dishes on the menu at Fiddleheads Bar and Grill, which also includes flavourful grilled steak, Atlantic salmon as well as traditional fare. “We have the best burgers in town,” says Patrick Moore, co-owner and general manager at Fiddleheads, but he also says that the Ten Ounce Garlic Brushed AAA Striploin is a crowd pleaser. Fiddleheads won awards in the Readers’ Choice Awards in the following categories: diamond – All-Around Restaurant and Sports Bar; platinum – Pub and Lunch. Everything on the menu is prepared daily using the chef’s own signature recipes. “We make it fresh right here,” said Moore. This includes the sauces and even the French fries, which are cut mere hours before being served. Even the Emus are locally raised. For Moore, the experience of eating at his restaurant extends well beyond what’s on the menu. “It’s all about making the customer feel like part of the family,” he said. Fiddleheads, which celebrated its 12-year anniversary in July, boasts four distinct eating areas. There is a pub featuring 20 different kinds of draught beer, a dining hall and even an indoor atrium. A patio overlooks gorgeous Stewart Park, a place so beautiful that couples frequent the grounds. “That’s where everyone gets married in Perth,” said Moore. The building is wheelchair accessible, with facilities on the ground floor and a ramp to the dining area. “Our building is set up to accommodate anybody,” said Moore. “We look forward to serving our customers.” For more info visit www.fiddleheadsbarandgrill.com.

REMEBERING JACK LAYTON
A nation mourns ‘tireless champion for people’ NDP leader Jack Layton dies at age 61
Hundreds of Ottawans descended on Parliament Hill on Monday afternoon to pay their respects to the man many said transformed not only the New Democratic Party, but the Canadian political landscape. Jack Layton, leader of the official Opposition, passed away peacefully at his home in Toronto surrounded by family and loved ones, according to a statement released by his wife Olivia Chow. He was 61. A group of mourners, shocked by the sudden news of Layton’s death cried, lit candles and laid flowers around the Centennial Flame on Parliament Hill as the Canadian flag flew at half mast above the Peace Tower. “It is very sad, I can only hope we take Jack’s legacy and work together to build a better Canada,” said Vicky Smallman, an Ottawa resident and NDP supporter who was among those gathered. The NDP leader had been battling prostate cancer since February 2010 and had hip surgery just before the May 2 federal election. In July, Layton surprised many by announcing he was taking a temporary leave of absence to receive further treat-
the day of his burial. “Canadians have lost a true representative of the voice of real people and my heart goes out to all who are close to Jack and Olivia in this time of mourning,” Watson said in a statement. Premier Dalton McGuinty said Ontarians and all Canadians will miss Layton’s passion, hard work and fighting spirit. “He always worked hard to represent his constituents, their interests and their needs. He was always a tireless champion for people and our communities.” On behalf of NDP nationwide, interim party leader Nycole Turmel said they need to pull together now and carry on his fight to make Canada a better place. “Jack was a courageous man. It was his leadership that inspired me, and so many others, to run for office.” In a statement, the Canadian Cancer Society said it was deeply saddened to hear of Layton’s untimely death after battling cancer for a second time. “The Canadian Cancer Society will always be grateful for Jack Layton’s passionate efforts to improve the health of Canadians and to raise awareness and funds for our organization to help us in our mission to eradi-

He was a Metro Toronto councillor from 1984 to 1988. Layton was deputy mayor of the City of Toronto in 1990. From 1994 to 1997, Layton again served as a Metro Toronto councillor. He was a City of Toronto councillor from 1997 to 2003. In 2001, Layton became the president of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. In 2003, Layton was elected federal NDP leader and was first elected to the House of Commons in the 2004 general election.

Former NDP candidates, and area politicians, remembered the charismatic Leader of the Official Opposition, Jack Layton, this week. Layton died at his Toronto home early on the morning of Monday, Aug. 22. He was first elected as the federal NDP leader in 2003 and led the party to its bestever showing of 103 seats in the May 2, election. Former Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington NDP candidate Doug Smyth was preparing to head out on a family vacation when he heard the news first from the Canadian Gazette. “Oh no,” he said. “I’m just knocked out.” Smyth was a beneficiary of the “Orange Crush,” which saw the NDP become the official opposition for the first time ever this year, and which lifted his campaign to a respectable second-place finish. “I sort of knew that would come, just from the looks of him,” said Smyth, from the coverage of a gaunt-looking Layton delivering what was to be his final press conference as leader when he announced that his cancer had returned. “That’s really sad,” said Smyth. “That’s a bad thing for the country, a sad thing for his family. He was quite a remarkable individual.” Before this year’s election was called, Smyth met Layton briefly at an event. “(He was a) very charismatic, powerful individual,” said Smyth. “I wish I had had time to sit down with him and talk.” Smyth commended Layton for making
what he felt was a good impact during the election, but he noted that it was sad that Layton could not have enjoyed the fruits of his hard labour over the years, as Leader of the Official Opposition. “He left something for people to work with,” said Smyth of the shape he left the NDP in. “I’m not very familiar with who would take over that position. We’ll see who steps up.” In his final letter to Canadians, Layton recommended Nycole Turmel stay on as the NDP’s interim leader, and that the party hold a leadership vote as early as possible in 2012.

cate cancer and assist those living with the disease,” Peter Goodhand, the society’s president and chief executive officer, said in the statement. In a letter written two days before his death, dated Aug. 20 and released by his family on Monday, Layton called on other Canadians afflicted with the disease not to be discouraged that his own journey hasn’t gone as well as he had hoped. “You have every reason to be optimistic, determined, and focused on the future,” Layton wrote. “My only other advice is to cherish every moment with those you love at every stage of your journey, as I have done this summer.” He urged his party members to build on the progress they have garnered in the last couple of years and continue to move forward. “Let’s demonstrate in everything we do in the four years before us that we are ready to serve our beloved Canada as its next government.” Since the news of the death of Layton broke, condolence messages have poured in through various social media pages from people across the country. A state funeral for Jack Layton will be held at Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto on Saturday.

ment after doctors discovered he had a new cancer. Messages of condolence were issued throughout the day by politicians of every political stripe. Governor General David Johnston said Jack’s fundamental decency and his love of the country should serve as examples to us all. “Mr. Layton was held in great esteem by Canadians for his passionate dedication to the public good. Throughout his career as a community leader and politician, he constantly strived to bring people together in the common cause of building a better Canada, and he did so with great energy and commitment,” Johnston’s message read. In a statement Prime Minister Stephen Harper saluted Jack’s contribution to public life, a contribution he said will be sorely missed. “When I last spoke with Jack following his announcement in July, I wished him well and he told me he’d be seeing me in the House of Commons in the fall. “This, sadly, will no longer come to pass.” Mayor Jim Watson said he was deeply saddened to learn of Layton’s death. The flags at Ottawa city hall will be flying at half-mast in Layton’s honour until sunset on

Impressionist coming to Perth Let your mind revisit the past, a stroll down memory lane – hand in hand, arm in arm, a warm breeze, you and your lover listening to the immortal greats. John Morello’s performance is characteristically smooth. His rich baritone voice, winning style and easy nonchalance is identified with Dean Martin. Operating in both Canada and the United States, Morello has revived the velvet-toned voices and classic images of Las Vegas and New York superstars such as: Dean Martin, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Frank Sinatra, and Elvis Presley. In his Las Vegas style tribute show, “Platinum Impressions,� Morello not only sounds like the super stars, he is an amazing celebrity lookalike Morello has a voice, looks, charisma and moves reminiscent of the ‘Rat Pack.’ He delivers a performance that impresses the audience with his vocal renditions, taking them back to wonderful memories of the world’s greatest artists. Morello will sometimes surprise his audience with impressions of Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, Julio Iglesias, Willie Nelson, Sylvester Stallone, Louis Armstrong and even Forrest Gump. The show will take place at Perth and District Collegiate Institute on Friday, Sept. 30 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 and are available at www.Benefitshowtickets.com or by calling 1-877-609-5439.

Perth horse qualifies for quarter horse world finals rosanne.lake@perthcourier.com
Todd McGrimmon walks up the middle aisle of his familyowned stables on Christie Lake Road. The horses in the stalls shuffle and follow him with their eyes as he passes, comfortably munching on their breakfasts. The morning sun filters in through windows, and as McGrimmon’s boots softly crunch into the sand of the arena at McGrimmon Stables, he talks about how work on the farm and in training is finally starting to come to fruition. This fall, McGrimmon and his horse, Two Eyed Biggun Jack, will be competing in the American Quarter Horse Association World Championships in Oklahoma. The horse has earned performance register of merit, and superior performance champion (over 50 points) in Dally team roping, heading and heeling. The world show runs from Nov. 6 to 20. After that, McGrimmon will tour to Las Vegas to compete in the National Rodeo Finals in December. Two Eyed Biggun Jack stands at 15.2 hands and weighs 1,300 pounds. He was born in 2002. McGrimmon said heading and heeling is a timed event. The aim is to try and accumulate 27 points in shows during a season, but each show could only get a com-
petitor one point depending on individual achievement. Only 90 horses qualify in the world each year, McGrimmon said. “It takes a long time – we’ve been trying for the past four years to get in,” he said from his farm near Perth. “It’s been a long road but we’ve learned a lot and made a lot of connections.” Because you have to travel and show in the United States to really have a chance to make it to the higher level competition, last year, McGrimmon took 13 trips which are usually week-long endeavors. It paid off though; he said he’s the only Canadian in the competition this year. In order to qualify, everything just has to come together, he said. “The way I work, the way the horse works, the chemistry you have with your horse, your timing – and you have to have lots of luck,” he said, smiling. He also attributes the success to the knowledge and skill of his team partner, Kent Martin, who heads for them at events. Between now and then, McGrimmon said they’ll continue to keep Two Eyed Biggun Jack fit and sharp. The McGrimmons left their horse in Nebraska for the time being, so as not to put the added stress of travelling on him before competition. McGrimmon will fly out at the end of August to spend four weeks training hard with him for at least a month before giv-

one else to ride him, McGrimmon said. While he said Biggun is gentle with the children and they can still get on him to ride, he clicks with McGrimmon best and is no longer as responsive to other people.
Top prize at the world event is between $70,000 and $100,000. Though McGrimmon admits the competition is tough, he says he thinks they’ve got a chance to crack the top 10 at worlds. See ‘Local’ page 17

From page 16 “The horse has been in first and third place in shows where there’s about 100 horses entered, and he’s been consistently in the top 10 all year long, so that’s a good testament that he’s on the right track, he said. Even though much of the competition is south of the border, McGrimmon said he has liked living in the Perth area because it gets him away from the pressure and the shows. “It gives me a quiet opportunity to ride and train,” he said. But the future wasn’t always so rosy for the McGrimmons. Several years ago, he quit riding after a horse with which he had a special relationship foundered and they eventually had him put down. “After that happened I couldn’t handle that anymore so I quit,” he said. Even so, he always kept an eye on the Two Eyed Jack line. His wife, Kim, wanted to buy a horse from that line, so they went to Pitzer Ranch in Harrison, Nebraska to look at a horse. The day after arriving, the owner told Todd he was short a man that day and asked if he would help bring in cattle.
“Once I sat back in the saddle again and went out into the range, I realized that I had missed it. It was so much fun to be riding again.” Todd came back to the ranch and ended up buying the horse he was riding that day – and the journey began. “There have been a lot of ups and downs over the years, but the love for the horse has carried us through,” he said. Born and raised in Renfrew, Todd and his young family have been in Perth since 1999. During their down time, Todd does shows and puts on clinics at their local operation. After completing major renovations to the existing barn on the property as well as building an arena and more stables, Todd noted they also house six studs and operate a stud facility. After his intense upcoming events, Todd said he would like to retire Two Eyed Biggun Jack and have him as a standing stud, noting that roping events are hard on their bodies. “If we don’t win, will we carry on? It will come down to what he feels like,” said McGrimmon. After all, he said, it always comes down to the horse.

Championship soccer weekend to wrap up local league ROSANNE LAKE rosanne.lake@perthcourier.com
The Lanark County Soccer League is gearing up for an exciting weekend. After a full season of play, the all-male soccer league for players over 16 years old, is heading into its championships. Bill Ferrier, league convener, said the finals wrap up a banner season, which saw eight teams competing on the league’s schedule. Ferrier joined the league in 1980, but said it has been going since the early 1970s, starting with just a handful of teams, with players hailing from Perth, Smiths Falls and Carleton Place. In the last few years, the league has expanded to incorporate up to eight teams. Because of the recent growth and success of the league, Ferrier said next year, they’re looking at splitting it into two divisions, to incorporate an A-side and Bside. “We’re hoping the B side will allow for younger players and older players to start playing and keep playing respectively,� said Ferrier. “The older ones can help to
develop the younger ones, too.� Ferrier said he thinks the league has been so popular because it offers high-calibre soccer in a competitive atmosphere, without the drive to an urban centre. “It has allowed people a chance to play who didn’t want to drive to Ottawa,� he said. Aside from the league’s recent boom in participation numbers, it has been a longstanding sport opportunity within the local area.“People have played with the league for years; Sunday night soccer has become a real mindset,� he said, noting that before suffering a knee problems, he played with the Saints for over 20 years. “There are a lot of guys like that who have been playing with the same team for 25 years. We’re even beginning to see it become a generational thing – with fathers and sons playing on the same team.� The league awards two major trophies each season. The Lanark Leeds Home Builders Association donated the Graham Gent Memorial trophy to the league, which awards the top team after regular season play. Historically, the championship team
who wins during playoffs is given The Gold Cup. The cup itself is dated 1929, and Ferrier said it was found in someone’s attic when the league was in its formative years. It was donated to the league to serve as the championship trophy. This year’s battle for the cup is set for Sunday, Aug. 28, when the top four teams will go head-to-head at Conlon Farm. At 6
p.m., the consolation final will commence, while 8 p.m. will see the championship match played out to see which team walks away with bragging rights this year. If interested in signing up to play with the Lanark County Soccer League next season, visit the Perth United Soccer Club website at www.pusc.ca to submit forms. Ferrier said individual players are welcome.

Joan Sobil knows how important fundraising for cancer research is. She has seen those dollars in action in her previous position as a chemotherapy nurse at the Hunstville District Memorial Hospital. Now owner of the Blue Heron Golf Club in McDonalds Corners, Sobil hosted an all-women’s Golf Fore the Cure tournament last Thursday, to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society’s breast cancer research. “As a former chemotherapy nurse, I am passionate about breast cancer treatment, prevention, research and the promotion of proper breast care,” she said, noting the tournament is directed through Golf Canada. Sixty players took part in the fun tourney, which raised $7,300. Sobil said she requested that the funds stay in the local community for breast cancer support and information programs.

Millar turns on star power at nationals Ian Millar of Perth proved why he is a nine-time Olympian, taking first and second in the $75,000 Brookstreet Grand Prix to end the National Capital Show Jumping Tournaments’ two-week run at the Nepean National Equestrian Park in Ottawa. Heavy rains moved through the area just prior to the competition on Sunday, Aug. 21. As a result, seven riders elected not to start their horses on the grass field. Of the 16 that attempted the demanding track set by two-time Olympic course designer Leopoldo Palacios of Venezuela, only three horses jumped clear. Fortunately for Millar, two of those horses belonged to him. Only the second rider on course, Millar produced the first clear round with Dryden, a 10-year-old Belgian Warmblood stallion owned by Susan and Ariel Grange that Millar had ridden to victory in last year’s edition of the Brookstreet Grand Prix. The final horse on course, Star Power, a 10-year-old Dutch-bred horse owned by Team Works, also jumped clear, giving Millar two shots at the title. The veteran faced off against Sarah Johnstone of Aurora, Ont., who was guiding Leonidas, a 14-year-old Hannoverian gelding owned by Trish Crang. Millar was the first rider to tackle the shortened jump-off track, producing another clear round with Dryden in a time of 55.46 seconds to put the pressure firmly on Johnstone’s shoulders. Although they shaved more than four full seconds off of Millar’s time, Johnstone and Leonidas dropped a rail at the third fence, ensuring that Millar would successfully defend his title. The only question that remained was with which horse. Millar returned to the ring with Star Power, a horse he has been riding for the past year and a half. Once again, all the rails stayed in place as Millar sailed around the course on Star Power, galloping through the timers in 54.90 seconds to take the victory. “I might have had some difficulty if

Ian Millar of Perth, rode Star Power to victory in the CSI2* Brookstreet Grand Prix on Sunday, to conclude the National Capital Show Jumping Tournaments. Sarah hadn’t faulted because her horse is faster than my two at this stage,” said Millar, who pocketed $39,000 when the $75,000 in prize money was distributed among the top 12 finishers. In fact, Johnstone and Leonidas had beaten Millar and Dryden twice during this year’s National Capital Show Jumping Tournaments. In both the $10,000 Modified Grand Prix on Aug. 13, and the $25,000 Hayes Co. Grand Prix on Sunday, Aug. 14, Johnstone emerged the winner while Millar settled for second. “He got his revenge today,” said Johnstone ruefully. “I wanted to be clean and efficient. I cut the corner a little too much and it cost me the rail. ‘Leo’ has been phenomenal; he tried his heart out.” While Johnstone is heading to the University of Guelph this fall, Millar is looking ahead to the 2011 Pan Amer-
ican Games taking place in October in Guadalajara, Mexico. Star Power would be his top choice for Mexico, should Millar be named to the Canadian Equestrian Team by the selection committee. It is also possible that Millar could find himself riding alongside one of his children at either this year’s Pan American Games or next year’s Olympics. His daughter, Amy, 34, had four faults riding Top Gun in the $75,000 Brookstreet Grand Prix to place fourth while Jonathon, 36, had one rail plus a time fault to finish sixth with Cantero Z.

T
he Perth Rotary Club is holding its annual drive for money to support its many projects for community service on Friday, Aug. 18. Among the services provided by the Rotary club are Merrywood Camp for crippled children and supplying equipment, including braces, wheelchairs, transportation to clinics and medical supplies; and supporting many youth organizations in the town, including Little League baseball, minor hockey, Girl Guides, Boy Scouts and school patrol equipment. Every dollar that is donated to this worthy cause goes directly to the services provided, as the Rotarians pay all costs of their projects.
Craig wins club championship Dr. D.O. Craig came out club champion at the Links O’Tay Golf and Country Club last Sunday after playing 37 holes. Although the golf was not spectacular, it created suspense among the hundred spectators who followed Frank DiCola and Craig. DiCola built up a four-hole lead on the first 18 and increased it to a five-hole lead on the 21st hole of the 36-hole competition. It was at that time that Craig rallied and reduced the five-hole lead by winning the 22nd hole. On the 23rd hole, DiCola again took the honours and brought his lead back to five holes. From then on, Craig won the 24th, 25th, 27th and the 29th to make it a one-hole lead for DiCola. The 30th was won by DiCola to increase his lead to two holes again. Dr. J.L. Walsh won two trophies at the Links O’Tay last weekend in matches with Bob Stacey and Ken Finlay. On Saturday Walsh took the Labatt trophy for the Class “B” Championship by defeating Stacey on the 15th hole of the 18-hole competition. On Sunday, Walsh was again victorious, winning the Coronation trophy in a very close match with Finlay. The Ainsley Cup, awarded to the winner of the “C” class, was taken by Merv Roberts. The match ended in the 14th hole with Ted Kidd five holes down.

Rotary club drive for funds
Commenting on the Royal LePage report which says the proposed Riverwalk proposal is not economically feasible, Mayor Lowell Yorke said he is hesitant to push for a speedy downtowncore solution. The report, released last week and costing $14,000, says the Riverwalk development proposed by local businessman Joe Perkins is not economically feasible. “The report addresses my original concerns, being that of parking and the impact of the development on the existing retail component,” says Yorke. The Riverwalk proposal had 97 parking spaces, of which 42 were reserved for the residential part of the project. The Royal LePage report suggested parking provisions in the Riverwalk proposal “are entirely inadequate.” “I’m pleased the council in their wisdom decided to commission the report,” stated Yorke. “I’m sure it will be an asset in assisting them in their deliberations.” Yorke said he was “shocked” by the negative land value calculated for both the Riverwalk proposal and a simulated scaled-down version of a grocery store, smaller commercial area and smaller condominiums. The analysis of the Riverwalk proposal by Royal LePage indicated a negative residual land value of about $2.5 million and an internal rate of return over a 20year period of only 10 per cent, “which is insufficient considering returns available on safe alternative investments and the significant risks inherent in undertaking the proposed development.”

A public meeting is slated for Aug. 27 at Perth town hall to discuss rezoning the Collie factory site, which will pave the way for development of up to 96 residential units. The first step in the development came last week when the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) gave the go-ahead for phase one of the project. Developers Brooke Briggs and Jules Sigler of Ottawa said this week phase one will include renovating a portion of the existing building near Sherbrooke Street and building 16 townhouse-style rental units. If all goes as planned, construction of phase one could start later this year. Demolition of the old factory is already underway, with a crew from John Denton’s Elmsley Enterprises, of Lombardy, proceeding with demolition of the building. The towering smokestack, which is something of a local landmark, is expected to be demolished in the near future. Sigler says phase two will be a 32- to 40-unit apartment development geared toward senior citizens, and he is meeting with a committee of Perth senior citizens to work out a design for the apartment units.

John Herlehy, who turned 100 years old on Monday, attributes his longevity to not worrying, never smoking or drinking too much and eating lots of raw oatmeal. Although Herlehy has lived in Perth for the past 30 years, he farmed the family farm on the Christie Lake Road for more than 60 years. He can remember having to help his mother when his father died, and he was only five years old at the time. When asked about the changes he has seen, he says the motor age has been the most amazing. The first people to have automobiles in Perth were treated almost like celebrities, he says, and the first airplane flights seemed realMore beds for GWM ly unbelievable. Provincial Minister of Health “My, it was wonderful when Murray Elston had good news for those first flyers went up, the

Wright Brothers you know, and I still remember the Lindenburg flight, but I think it’s too bad they spend so much money on going to the moon when people are hungry all over the world,” he maintained. Herlehy is an avid reader and keeps up with current affairs on the television. In earlier years he used to play hockey, soccer and baseball. “I was never big enough to play football,” he said with a chuckle. This is the first summer he has missed putting in a garden, but that can be attributed to his stay at the Ottawa Civic Hospital in the spring. It was his first visit to a hospital as a patient, and he says he was impressed with the care he received while undergoing heart surgery. A birthday party was held in honour of Herlehy on Sunday at Farrell Hall, and more than 200 well-wishers gathered to hear greetings sent from the Pope, the Queen, the prime minister and local dignitaries. Herlehy is looking forward to many more years of enjoying life, and to the companionship of others with similar interests, when he takes up residence at Lanark Lodge this fall. At age 100, he currently maintains his own home.

The announcement came last Thursday, and it is estimated the provincial cost of the expansion and redevelopment project will be in the neighbourhood of $5.2 million. Total cost of the project is estimated at $8.2 million, with the hospital funding $3 million. The total cost includes equipment.

hoped the morale of LACAC members would not be hurt by the council decision, but he described the motion as “too little, too late.” A new bylaw regulating the erection of temporary signs and merchandise displays on town property had its first reading last week and will have full reading Sept. 9. The bylaw states that any merchant putting a sign or display on town property must obtain a permit from the municipality and that the permit will be issued for a specific period of time. The bylaw states that the town intends to appoint a permit review committee consisting of two members of the Perth Business Improvement Area Committee, one member of town council, the town building inspector and the bylaw enforcement officer. Merchandise displays must not impede the free flow of pedestrians, says the bylaw, with a minimum unobstructed width of five feet to be maintained. Signs are not to exceed eight square feet, not to be wider than 30 inches, not to be higher than five feet or less than 36 inches, and must be of a sandwich-board design. The sign bylaw has caused some controversy within the business community of Perth.

T
he possible demolition of the nurses’ residence this fall to make way for GWM Hospital expansion plans created a minor furore at the regular meeting of Perth town council last week. The GWM Hospital has picked up a demolition permit, but administrator Norman Legault says no final decision on the future of the residence building will be made until the hospital board meets in early September. Last week Coun. Jim Walsh introduced a motion to allow the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (LACAC) to seek a provincial grant to study the heritage and architecture of the old nurses’ residence which is located next to the hospital just off Isabella Street. The motion was defeated, with Walsh, Coun. Wayne James and Coun. Lana March voting in favour and the rest of council (with the exception of Deputy-Reeve Chuck Montgomery, who was on holiday) voting against. By allowing LACAC to go ahead with a study of the building, Walsh said, taxpayers in the community would be exposed to alternative views with regard to use of the nurses’ residence building. Walsh expressed the belief that the residence building is functional and could serve a useful purpose. “I find it very annoying that this hospital board is in such a hurry to tear this building down,” stated Walsh. “Are we not going to allow LACAC an alternate view to that of the hospital board?” Some members of council said the municipality shouldn’t be interfering with hospital business since the hospital owns the residence. Walsh suggested the demolition of the residence would have a negative impact on the streetscape of Drummond Street and inferred the street would be seriously hurt if the residence was replaced with a parking lot. Coun. Richard Schooley said he

The Municipalities of Beckwith, Carleton Place, Drummond/North Elmsley, Lanark Highlands, Mississippi Mills, Montague, Perth, Smiths Falls Tay Valley ask you to CALL 9-1-1.
Doctor Alan Drummond has prestigious award named in his honour
From front page It’s especially important for emergency room doctors, he said. “We are the canary in the coal mine with respect to health care. All the problems that beset the Canadian health-care system usually end up at our door at some time,” Drummond said. Vera Klein, the association’s executive director, applauded Drummond for his years as a powerful voice for emergency medicine, speaking out to the media, politicians, committees and in other venues for years. “He speaks eloquently and is very
passionate about the importance of excellent emergency care for our patients,” Klein said. “He personifies the emergency physician who cares about his patients.” Having served as the medical director for the combined emergency departments at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital since 1998, Drummond has long been an oftencited voice in the media on healthcare issues including gun control, over-crowding, and standards of emergency care. “There are many situations in
Hotline set up to gather information From front page Most patients receive an average of 10. Hurley said families and staff are often afraid to complain about services, especially home care. Health care workers fear for their jobs and patients and families worry their service could be cut off if they speak up. “Some of this paranoia people feel is legitimate,” Hurley said. SAVING MONEY Hurley said Ontario spends $250 less on health care per citizen than any other province in the country. It also has the lowest number of acute care beds per capita than any developed nation on Earth, including Mexico, Chile, Botswana, Panama and Albania. The occupancy rates for beds in Ontario hospitals sit at 98 per cent, contributing to Canada’s overall occupancy rate, which
is considered the highest in the developed world. These numbers mean that Canada also has one of the highest numbers of health care acquired infections in the developed world, such as C.Difficile, according to information provided by CUPE. Hurley and Cook said they worry about further cuts after the upcoming provincial election. Almost 20,000 hospital beds have been eliminated in Ontario over the past 20 years and both said they worried about the possibility of more services being cut from regional hospitals. “This will accelerate after the election,” Hurley said. “They’ll be looking at ways to make further efficiencies.” Cook said as an older Ontarian, she worries about what the future holds. “As someone from the Baby Boom generation, I’m a little concerned,” she said. The hotline is 1-888-599-0770.
Canada where emergency physicians have spoken out…and have either been censored, fired, or attacked by government,” he said. “It’s a lonely position to be in sometimes, but things need to be said and things need to be done.” Drummond remembers the evening with his family around the dinner table, and how this news brought them all a moment of joy in an otherwise difficult year. His daughter has been battling breast cancer. “If you want to talk about real courage, you want to talk about my daughter.”
