A deeper look into Scugog Island Pow Wow Highland Games return to Uxbridge

Throngs of dancers took to the Pow Wow grounds and danced during an inter-tribal on Saturday, July 19 at the 18th annual Mississaugas of Scugog Island Pow Wow. BENJAMIN PRIEBE The Standard BENJAMIN PRIEBE The Standard

SCUGOG: Pow Wow is far more than a social gathering and celebration of culture - every drum beat, dance step and stitched bead holds much more than what meets the eye.

The 18th annual Scugog Island Pow Wow, held this past weekend on July 19 and 20, is a modern day potlatch - an event when dif-

ferent tribes gather, bring gifts, and celebrate First Nations and Anishinabek culture.

The 2014 edition of the Pow Wow is a milestone date, taking place 250 years after the Treaty of Niagara was signed in 1764.

The Treaty, signed between Sir William Johnson for The Crown and more than 25 First Nations, decreed that portions of land around the Niagara basin (previ-

It was the beginning of a long and complicated relationship between the British Crown and the First Nations, and plays an important role in the history and heritage of Canada.

NORTH DURHAM: Dust off your kilts, because the Highlands of Durham Games are returning to Uxbridge’s Elgin Park this weekend.

On Saturday, July 26 and Sunday, July 27 the picturesque park will be transformed into a wee bit of Scotland for the 19th annual edition of event.

There is a full slate of events throughout the weekend including the popular heavy events for men and women, which include: the hammer throw, caber toss, stone toss and weight throw. As well, Highland dancers from around the province will gather at Elgin Park for a number of competitions.

In addition, there is an excellent line-up of live entertainment at the Rotary Bandshell and pipe bands, as well as food, vendors selling all things British and activities for kids.

The Highlands of Durham Games also act as an important fundraiser for a number of community charities including Canadian Tire Jumpstart, 1st Port Perry Scouts, Bonner Boys, the Foster Memorial, Teen Start and the Lucy Maud Montgomery Society of Ontario.

Suspects sought in church break-ins NORTH DURHAM: Police are investigating a series of break-ins at churches in North Durham after receiving three reports of incidents occurring in the overnight hours last Sunday.

According to Durham Regional Police, on Monday, July 14, at approximately 2 a.m., officers were called to St. Paul’s Church on Conc. 7 in Leaskdale for an alarm that had been triggered. An office window had been smashed and a guitar was stolen from the office.

Later the same morning, officers investigated a break-in at Burns Presbyterian Church on Myrtle Rd. West in Ashburn and at the Claremont Life Church on Cen-

tral St. in Claremont. In both incidents, windows were smashed to gain entry and items were stolen from inside.

Investigators are appealing to the public for information as they attempt to determine if these incidents are related.

Anyone with new information about these incidents is asked to call D/Cst. Ahee of North Division Criminal Investigations Branch at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 2674.

Anonymous tips can be made to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS) or on the web site at www.durhamregionalcrimestoppers.ca and tipsters may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000.

Pot plants found among corn crop BENJAMIN PRIEBE The Standard

SCUGOG: Durham Regional Police are searching for suspects after a farmer in eastern Scugog Township found a crop of marijuana plants hidden on his property.

On the evening of June 28, DRPS Officers responded to a farm near the intersection of Scugog Point Rd. and Regional Rd. 57, when the farmer who owns the land discovered 26 marijuana plants among his corn crops.

All of the plants were seized for destruction by the DRPS, and there are currently no suspects.

“It has become more common that marijuana plants are being grown in corn fields without the landowner’s knowledge,” said Sgt. Bill Calder of the DRPS. “These people take advantage of the fact that corn crops do not require frequent inspection until harvest time, and hope to grow marijuana covertly.”

With recent wet weather, local Drug Enforcement Unit officers are anticipating an early harvest of marijuana crops in North Durham this year. The DRPS asks all farmers to monitor their property, and call the police if they spot suspicious plants or activity.

Ireland trip ends in emotional family reunion for local family DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard

SCUGOG: Blackstock’s Patt Johnson and her father, Port Perry’s Tom Wilson made a trip to Portadown, Ireland earlier this year expecting one type of family reunion, only to have an unexpected one take place.

For the third time, Patt and Tom ventured to Ireland this past June in search of the grave

site of 90-year-old Tom’s mother, Mary Ann Orr, who passed away in 1980 at the age of 88.

Having already made two unsuccessful trips, Patt placed an appeal in the local newspaper - the Portadown Times - ahead of their trip asking for information about the location of the grave.

“We went this year for one last shot since my dad was turning 90 on July 1,”

Brinley is excited to announce the arrival of her little brother , who was born on May 21, 2014.

Blake Richard John Hobbs

Blake is also welcomed by his parents Kevin and Jen, grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles & cousins. A special thank you to our midwives Elaina Ferrari and Sanaz Kama for their excellent care.

Deadline for Turning Points is Monday at noon.

Patt told The Standard. “I spent two months waking up at 4 a.m., and phoning contacts in Ireland to try and find the site.”

Fate would then intervene, as the story was read

by Sam McKenzie, the husband of Tom’s niece Doris McKenzie, who lives in a home adjacent to the cemetery where Tom’s mother is buried.

“I put the ad in the paper the week before we got there, and lo and behold a man read the article and it was talking about his wife’s grandma,” added Patt. “Doris was at the funeral, so she was able to show us exactly where the plot was.”

It was an emotional reunion for Tom, who had left the town at the age of 10 to live with friends in Liverpool. Four years later, at age 14, Tom would move to Canada, later returning to England during World War 2 as a member of the Canadian Air Force.

After three attempts, Tom Wilson (centre) and daughter Patt Johnson were able to locate the grave site of Tom’s mother on a recent trip to Ireland, and in the process were able to meet Tom’s niece, who assisted them with locating the site.

SUBMITTED PHOTO During the conflict, Tom met Brenda Cumbly, and the two were wed in Bournemouth in 1945 before returning to Canada, where they raised their three children.

By the end of the trip, Tom and Patt were able to have a new grave marker put in place at Mary Ann’s resting place.

“It was an emotional reunion for sure,” Patt

said. “We kept saying that it was a miracle. Because we were so close last year.

Then this year, we not only found the site, but also relatives, it truly was a miracle trip.”

NORTH DURHAM GREENBANK by Mary Jean Till Weather is always in most conversations, and we certainly have had a mixture of rain, sun, humidity, and last week’s cool nights. Great for sleeping!

The Open House at Smith’s new robotic barn was a huge success with a large crowd, great weather, delicious lunch, and the opportunity to see the latest in dairy milking by two robots, a twentyfour hour a day way of milking cows, a computerized system – mind boggling to me – almost!

Guest pianist Hilary Balmer provided lovely music for Sunday’s service. Greeters Hugh and Roberta Baird welcomed Seagrave and Greenbank people to service led by guest Darlene Hallett. Happy Birthday was sung to Murray Lee ( July 18).

Continued prayers are for Rev. Paul and others who are ill.

Darlene Hallett chose as her message another parable of the “Sower” and the weeds in crops, and in our lives, how to sort out the good from the bad.

Greenbank has been privileged to have Ms. Hallett lead service several times, and she was acknowledged by the congregation with thanks.

Next Sunday come and hear Terry and Anne Robinson of Burford, Ontario, tell of their experiences of Builds with Habitat for humanity, several in other countries. Everyone is welcome!

ZEPHYR & SANDFORD by Pat Asling When one hears or reads about all the horrible things that go on in other parts of the world, it makes you doubly glad to be living here where beauty, freedoms and opportunities abound and climate change has not yet caused such horrendous catastrophes. We are blessed!

Our sympathies to the family of James Best. The Best family lived here for many years, better known for selling eggs. His wife Violet was a sister to Margaret Hackner.

This weekend was full of events. A number of interested individuals turned up at the Foster Memorial Saturday afternoon to hear Conrad Boyce explain some of the intricacies of the building and the purpose and symbolism in every piece of architecture. It was also an opportunity to purchase his book “Jewel On the Hill”, signed by the author.

The RibFest was also on at Elgin Park but, the drizzly atmosphere seemed to have taken its toll on attendance. Perhaps Sunday was better.

Sunday was Decoration Service at Foster Cemetery. Several local churches have held these in the past weeks.

Did you know that the Iroquoians/ Hurons, who occupied this territory for thousands of years, also carried out rituals commemorating the dead? Or

SEAGRAVE by Robin Drew & Jean Short that an ossuary was found near Uxbridge which contained the bones of more than 400 people from the early 1400s? The reburying of the dead after an 8 to 10 year period was part of their ceremonies along with a Feast of the Dead. You can read more in a new book “Before Ontario”.

The Mississauga of Scugog Island held their Pow Wow on the weekend. Some of their dances also are in memory of those who have passed on. It seems Scugog Township’s weather was better than Uxbridge Township’s, as it was mostly sunny and I was told the attendance Saturday was phenomenal.

It looked like “Dog Days of Scugog” was also filled to capacity.

Mary Foster, nee Harrison was the guest speaker at church Sunday. Mary is a lay minister, pastoral care visitor. Travis Smalley also rendered two beautiful solos, a capella. Thanks to both of them. It was great to see both Marg McNelly and Marj McFarlane out.

Next week, Allan McGillivray will speak on the history of Scott Township churches. Following the service there will be a pot-luck picnic to which everyone is invited. No services in August, and Zephyr will join with Sandford in September for the 11 a.m. start time.

BLACKSTOCK by Joyce Kelly It is wonderful news regarding Hazel Coates’ recovery. She has improved so much that she was able to spend the weekend at home. On Saturday, she and Peter were able to attends a friend’s wedding in Woodville.

Keep up the good work, Hazel.

A Purple Hill party was held on Sunday afternoon at the home of Bill and Paula Lishman.

Several former residents of the area joined the group for much visiting and a delicious pot luck dinner. The weather was perfect for such a gathering.

On Sunday, Noreen Malcolm attended a baby shower in hon-

our of her granddaughter Janelle at the home of Janelle’s cousin Katie in Kendall. The mom-tobe received many lovely gifts.

The official reopening of the Recreation Centre will be held this Thursday evening (July 24) at 7 p.m. The public is welcome to come to see the old building’s new look.

Plans are well underway for the 149th annual Blackstock Fair. The activity begins with the demolition derby beginning at 8 p.m. on Friday, August 22.

The Fair will feature many new items as well as many old favourites. On Saturday evening, a

dance and concert with Lindsay Broughton will be held. Tickets can be bought in advance for $15, or at the door for $20 for the evening concert. For many years, a musical concert was held on Fair night following the fair.

How times go around!!

Winners at the Tuesday card party were Donna Sweetman who also had the most one hands, Alma Manns, Harold Crawford, Lorna Edgerton, Heidi Krieg, Low Lawrence McLaughlin. The winners of the specials were Donna Sweetman, Val Priebe, Lawrence McLaughlin and Ellen Gibson.

EPSOM & UTICA by Sharri Kerry Condolences from the community go out to the family of former neighbour Joanna Ruhl who passed away early last week.

There will be no church services on Sunday August 3, but will continue the following week at Utica United church, starting at 9:30 a.m., with Elva Kerry and Darlene Christie as the greeters.

Congratulations to Donna and Jeff Ireland who celebrated their 25th Wedding Anniversary with friends and family last Saturday.

Many Seagravers attended the open house at Smith’s new robotic farm to see cows being milked by a robot last week.

What a change from when I grew up on the farm and we milked the cows by hand!

Ross and Jean Short visited their granddaughter Marcy and greatgrandson Ethan in Waterloo this week. They also attended the Farmers Market at St. Jacobs.

Glad to hear that Hazel Coates was home from the hospital for the weekend and was able to attend a wedding in Woodville. She is still in hospital during the week for therapy.

Please keep Rev. Paul, Hazel Coates and Ona Short in your prayers.

Happy Anniverdary to Tanya and Brett Puckrin and Howard and Teri Payne.

On Friday, Aug. 1 and Saturday, Aug. 2, Miller Memorial Church is having a yard sale from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the 1st, and 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. on the 2nd, along with a pie table.

UXBRIDGE: The municipal election field continued to take shape this week, with the announcement that Ward 5 Councillor Gord Highet will be seeking re-election for a third term on council.

financial challenges of the municipality and provide thoughtful and proactive solutions to complex issues.”

Mr. Highet went on to say that he “continues to be a strong advocate for a forward looking, comprehensive and financially sound municipal management plan to help guide the future of Uxbridge.”

As well, Mr. Highet noted that upcoming projects in the municipality such as: the new fire hall, a new pool and revitalization/flood risk reduction in the downtown will help shape the future of Uxbridge.

“These projects need to move forward with a thoughtful, well planned and affordable approach which requires the knowledge, skills, and experience I can bring,” said Mr. Highet.

Sally Brady and Joy Whalen are also vying for

the job of Ward 5 Councillor in the Oct. 27 election.

Every seat on council now has at least one candidate in the running.

Incumbent Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor will be challenged by former Mayor Bob Shepherd and former Ward 2 Councillor and local businessman Ted Eng in the running for the top job on council.

Regional Councillor Jack Ballinger will be challenged in his re-election bid by Jon Taylor.

Pam Beach is running against Bev Northeast in Ward 1, which Northeast has held since 1991.

Incumbent councillor Pat Molloy remains the lone candidate in Ward 2.

Pat Mikuse has held the job of Ward 3 Councillor since 2006, and will be challenged by Bob Harrison, who was the first candidate to file in January.

With current councillor Jacob Mantle stepping away from municipal politics, the Ward 4 race is wide-open between Fred Bryan, Conrad Boyce and Dave Granic.

The Standard

EDITORIAL A tangled web indeed Embattled Senator Mike Duffy was back in the news last week, as the RCMP brought forth 31 criminal charges of fraud, breach of trust and bribery against him, alleging that he misused more than $200,000 of public money.

Duffy is, of course, innocent until proven guilty and will have his day in court in September, but this is another blow against the Conservative government and Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who appointed Duffy to the Senate.

Aside from the mess created by Duffy and the alleged scheme cooked up by Harper’s former Chief of Staff Nigel Wright that had Duffy receive $90,000 to cover claims related to his residency expenses, Harper has also had to deal with embarrassing fallout from Senators Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau and their own alleged misdeeds relating to inappropriate spending of taxpayer money.

It appears that this was a case of “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know” as all three were appointed by Harper. Yet, in the case of Duffy and Wallin, they did not even live in the province they were appointed to represent.

It remains to be seen just who else will become tangled in this web of deception once legal proceedings begin against Duffy, and just how involved the Prime Minister actually was in this whole mess. This scandal certainly is not going anywhere for awhile.

If in the end this whole sad saga prevents more public figures from helping themselves to money that belongs to all Canadians, then it will be a great victory for taxpayers across the country.

Input needed on sidewalk woes G-Moms fortunate for caring community To the Editor,

To the Editor,

In response to the recent letter from A. Morgan about the state of some of the sidewalks, I would like to pass on our apologies to the residents of Port Perry.

After our recent very hard winter many people will have noticed the orange paint dotted around the town highlighting damaged and potentially dangerous areas of sidewalk. The township contracts out the sidewalk repair and has to identify every damaged area before we ask for quotes on doing the work At a recent township meeting, staff and councillors identified approximately $77,000 worth of repairs which need to be done.

The quotes are coming in now and we expect work to start very soon on the hundreds of broken and cracked patches of sidewalk.

In the mean time I would ask for our residents patience and to take extra care whenever you see orange paint. We will catch up as quickly as we can If you see dangerous sidewalk please phone the municipal office to report it as we need your input to identify the problem areas.

John Hancock Ward 2 Councillor

The G-Moms of Port Perry would like to thank everyone who supported our efforts at Palmer Park on Canada Day. Our booth was very successful in raising funds for the Stephen Lewis Foundation.

Our success can be attributed to many individuals. Firstly, we would like to thank the many people who visited our booth to either purchase food or to make a donation. Your generosity is very much appreciated. We also enjoyed hearing your comments and answering questions regarding the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign.

We would also like to express our gratitude to Wray Gundry for seeing that we have a “roof over our heads” and always taking such great care of us. We also thank Mike Stanley, Bill Dyson and the Township of Scugog’s staff for being so accommodating. The efforts of everyone contributed to our success.

The G-Moms are thankful for all of the generous support which the citizens of Scugog extend to us for all initiatives throughout the year. We are fortunate to live in such a kind and caring community.

NEWS & OPINION

Aquarama to make waves in Palmer Park for 21st year

Thursday, July 24, 2014 • 9

Walk Softly Geoff carpentier

There’s a buzz in the air

SCUGOG: Imagine watching members of your community dressed in costume, whizzing through the water of Lake Scugog to raise money for local charities. That’s just what you will see at Palmer Park on Sunday, August 17, as the Rotary Club of Port Perry hosts the 21st annual Aquarama.

This popular and entertaining event pits novice and experienced riders against the clock on personal watercrafts to raise money for charitable causes, both locally and internationally. The Rotary Club is still welcoming participants to sign up as a single rider or form a team of five legal-age riders.

Once again, the Rotary Club is calling on the community to get involved in this exciting summer event that has been a mainstay in the community for more than two decades.

“Aquarama is a terrific way to raise funds and enjoy a fun day on the water”. said Steve Gajewski, Co-Chair of the event.

No Sea-Doo experience is necessary to participate.

Once again, the Rotary Club offers special thanks to John Mackey and the folks at Port Perry Marina for generously donating their Sea-Doos and their time for this event. In addition to raising money for a great cause, participants are awarded prizes for a variety of categories including fastest time, most unusual ride and most amusing costume.

“It’s the community that makes this event such a huge success,” said Gajewski. Since its inception, this event has now raised over $180,000 for local and international charities and the Rotary Club of Port Perry hopes to continue that success rolling this year.

Riders can download registration and pledge forms online at www.aquarama.ca. Forms can also be picked up at Talyor Forder Insurance, located at 169 North St. For more information on how to get involved or to view photos of past events, visit Aquarama’s web site at www. aquarama.ca or call Kim Visconti at 289-356-1401.

In my last column I wrote about fireflies – an insect I just love! Well, to be fair and balanced, I want to share some thoughts about other less appealing bugs – the biting flies.

In Ontario, we have several species of pesky, nasty bugs that “bite”, including mosquitoes and deer, black, horse, moose and Tabanid flies. Also included in this list are the ticks, lice, hornets, wasps, bees and their kin. It’s interesting that if you asked the average person to name six insects, they would likely reply butterfly, dragonfly, cricket, bee, cockroach and moth – but likely could not be more specific than that. However, ask them which flies “bite” and they will give a pretty accurate list of species - not surprising as these are truly annoying insects. By the way, few of these insects actually bite – most sting, burrow under our skin or inject their proboscis into us to suck our blood.

So let’s look more closely at one of these families. The mosquito evolved almost 100 million years ago and is now represented in Ontario by 60 different species, but luckily most of them leave us alone, with only 4 or 5 species of real concern. Some of the others (e.g. non-biting types) are much more interesting, such as the Pitcher Plant Mosquito, which lives a vicarious life inside the carnivorous pitcher plant. The Aedes, Anopheles and Culex mosquitoes are more problematic and will readily take a blood meal. Many are special-

ist feeders but thankfully not all feed on humans, preferring amphibians or select mammals or birds instead.

But rest assured, many still are opportunistic enough to recognize us as a tasty treat when they see us. Many mosquitoes require a blood meal to allow their eggs to develop as they can’t derive enough nutrients out of their wild foods, which include nectar and pollen. Interestingly in the north, where few other insects exist, mosquitoes are important pollinators, particularly for orchids.

Mosquitoes are true flies and as such have four life stages - egg, larva, pupa and adult – complete metamorphosis in biological terms. The first three stages take place in slow moving or stagnant bodies of water, and the last stage obviously is air borne or else we couldn’t enjoy the pleasure of their company! Those species that nest in areas that are only subject to flooding periodically produce drought tolerant eggs, which may remain viable for up to seven years and can be frozen solid each winter in between!

So let’s see how this goes … a female mosquito, driven by external forces during her 4 to 8 week lifespan, mates with a male (who never takes a blood meal) and lays her eggs in a suitable place (after she munches on us or another animal first), such as a rain barrel, a marsh, a hole in a tree or elsewhere depending on the locale and species involved. During her life, she will do this 2 or 3 times,

Remembering Dr. Gonzo A large part of working as a journalist is the ability to make a connection with your subject. Powerful stories are not made from a drive-by snapshot or a press release - but by spending time with a person, seeing their home, and figuring out what makes them tick.

At the far end of this journalistic method is something called Gonzo Journalism - a method invented without notes and under duress of deadline, where the writer acts as less of a fly-on-the-wall and more a fly-in-ointment.

It involves taking part in the action and often becoming the central character in your story. First-person-view is usually a massive journalistic no-no, but if done just right, it all clicks.

This column assumes that the reader has seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Rum Diary, or at least has a workable knowledge of who the late, great Hunter S. Thompson was.

Thompson, born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1937, had a brief post-high school stint in the United States Air Force, before being rejected for the aviation program.

Soon after, he found a job writing in the sports section of a local newspaper, but had always wanted to primarily be a photographer. He quickly discovered that he wished to get deeper and work on more documentary-style projects.

His most famous novels ‘Hell’s Angels’ and ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’ began as journalistic assignments for professional publications, but quickly morphed into first-hand accounts of the intoxicated and insane people

he spent time with, drank with, and partied with.

Rather than reading police reports or estimated numbers for the murders and robberies committed by the Hell’s Angels Motorcycle Club in mid-1960s California - Thompson sought to understand what made them tick he, in a way, went undercover with killers. By all rights and rules, his work should be terrible - but it rings with a fervor and intensity that makes it read like exciting fiction.

After an article was published, he continued riding with the gang to discover why the bearded, nomadic wild-men would wreck small-towns and strike fear into the hearts of residents for little or no reason - the resulting rambling tale made him famous.

Like many journalists, I was inspired in part by Dr. Gonzo and the prolific, illegible stories he scrawled on pages and faxed to the pages of The Rolling Stone, The Observer, and Scanlan’s Monthly.

While I’ve yet to be sent on a hunt for the American Dream or taken on a ride with a motorcycle gang, these great questing stories are what writer’s dreams are made of - and being part of the action (such as in a protest, live concert or festival) imparts the writer with a true sense of the pandemonium taking place.

You can’t write about the desperation or absurdity of an entire city without being on the streets while police and protestors clash and chant - with seniors enjoying coffee and students walking dogs through the park next door.

each time producing about 100 eggs. Within days, weeks, months or years, the eggs hatch and the larvae, called wrigglers, live and grow in the aquatic system where they are born. After a few days, the larva need to morph into adults, so like a butterfly, they must change completely. To do this, they form into a pupa first and then emerge as an adult, ready to start the cycle over. If conditions are perfect, the entire life cycle can happen in as little as 10 days. Quite adaptable, mosquitoes can overwinter as eggs or adults, so don’t think a cold winter will kill them – I believe it makes them stronger!

Linked to West Nile Virus in Canada, they are also associated with malaria, arboviral encephalitis and yellow and dengue fevers worldwide.

These critters are truly a scourge, and although they provide food for many birds, fish, dragonflies and other invertebrates, sometimes I just wish they’d choose somewhere else to live. I try to see the good in everything, but when it comes to mosquitoes, my imagination is stretched to the limit – Ouch –SLAP!

Up All Knight Shoot First, Ask Later DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard BENJAMIN PRIEBE The Standard @darrylknight

While Thompson is most famous for the Gonzo days, I find the most interesting part to be in the early 1960s, before he became famous.

Like a lot of young reporters, Thompson stayed on the move, from story to story and paycheque to paycheque. In these days he was just scraping by, and thus filed dispatches from California, the Appalachian South, the Caribbean, South America, and the Rocky Mountains.

Thompson acted as a nomadic modern-day historian, keeping record of the world directly in front of his face, writing about anything and everything. From the strange and absurd counter-culture coverage to kitschy advertorial travel pieces, and even running for both Mayor and Sheriff of a town he was working in, Thompson has done it all by the seat of his pants.

Regrettably, I did miss the chance to write this on the ninth anniversary of his death, but the tenth will be here in early 2015.

I feel he is best remembered by some of his own words “When the going gets weird, the weird turn professional.” and “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.”

“Every stitch says who we are, where we come from, and what we do”

Lead dancer Bernard Nelson - ‘Spirit of The Earth’ clad in hand-crafted regalia, at the Scugog Island Pow Wow. F RO M PAG E 1

“My name is ‘Spirit of The Earth’,” began Mr. Nelson, who travels from Kingston to attend the Scugog Pow Wow. “It was given to me by my Elders in Thunder Bay after I fasted for four days in the wild and had my first vision a sort of waking dream.”

At the end of the fourth day of fasting in the wilds, Mr. Nelson saw his skin turn dark purple, and had dreams of being surrounded by seven blazing suns and dancing with two men wearing distinctive clothing.

One man was clad in yellow and black, the other in red and blue - these became his personal colours to wear and honour.

The imagery of his first vision adorns his shield, which is always strapped tightly to his left hand.

“At the end of my journey, the Elders told me I had seen something powerful, and took me to South Dakota where I participated in a Sun Dance honouring

the Creator,” he explained. “Since then, I’ve been taking part in Socials, Pow Wows, Gatherings and Dances for most of my life.”

As the lead dancer of this year’s Scugog Island Pow Wow, and an attendee for the past seven years, it’s his role to start the Grand Entry off on the right foot.

He often dances alongside his wife Tamy Nelson ‘Spirit of the Water Everywhere’ who he met while offering prayers and tobacco the Scugog Island sacred fire.

An event foretold by a medicine man near Curve Lake.

“Every colour, bead and stitch in my clothes means something to me - they represent the sacred fire which all native people keep burning inside them, the colours in our dreams, the spirits and animals we respect, and the achievments and kindnesses I’ve done in my life.”

Mr. Nelson explained that every single one of his many eagle feathers were given to him by

other people, in a very traditional way. Either through the exchange of an equally powerful token, or as a gift in recognition of a personal deed, he and many other traditional First Nations people must work hard for honour and stature. He explains that some people will just purchase the materials, or pre-made regalia, but that it is not entirely traditional.

“Let me tell you a story. I was dancing in a Pow Wow and one of the other men was wearing a large and ornate headdress of eagle feathers,” remembered Mr. Nelson. “He danced so hard that it fell right onto the grass. According to custom, I could have picked it up and laid claim to his honour - but I wanted to give it back to him. He thanked me for the gesture and, honour intact, gifted it to me.”

The aforementioned bustle now makes up some of the many feathers stitched with sinew into Mr. Nelson’s chestpiece - his pride and joy.

When asked what the meaning was behind the intense face paint, spear and shield were, Mr. Nelson explained that “In the old times, our people would paint their faces and wear their finest and most

adorned clothes whenever they went to hunt or do battle.”

This way, if anyone were to die while away from their home or camp, it could be said that they died fighting for their tribe or to feed their family - a sense of honour pervades every aspect of First Nations culture.

Dancers such as Mr. Nelson keep the traditions and spirits of their forefathers alive by dressing in similar regalia to what they would have worn to battle, to meet neighbouring groups, or to pray.

“Many people create their more

modernized regalia from strips of brightly coloured cloth, it’s very beautiful when it moves and catches the eye,” said Mr. Nelson.

“Some, like me, like to use more traditional materials like animal hide, leather, bone and fur. It’s a personal choice and every stitch says who we are, where we come from, and what we do - in this life and the next.”

THE LARGEST LOCAL SPORTS COVERAGE IN DURHAM REGION

Uxbridge’s Brendan Bell heats up at Flames’ camp DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard

Uxbridge’s Brendan Bell recently got a taste of the big leagues when he was invited to take part in the Calgary Flames’ Development Camp earlier this month.

“After the OHL season ended, I was talking with my agent looking for a camp, and he was eventually contacted

by Calgary and thankfully it all worked out,” Bell told The Standard.

Although it was his first NHL experience, the 20-year-old Uxbridge native remained focused on trying to impress Flames brass with his tenacious style of play.

“All I wanted was to do my best,” added Bell. “I was a bit nervous coming in, because it was my first camp like this at the next level. There was a big step up in competition from the OHL, and the guys on the ice were bigger, stronger and faster. It was good to get in on that type of speed.”

Bell appears to have left his mark on the team, as the Flames have invited him back to compete in the YoungStars Classic Tournament, hosted by the Vancouver Canucks in Penticton, British Columbia, from Sept. 12 to 15. The tournament will feature prospect teams from the Canucks, Flames, Edmonton Oilers and Winnipeg Jets.

“It’s great being invited to compete in the tournament. I feel like I really showed what I can do at camp, and it was great to be able to work with the Flames’ training staff. Now that I’m back home, I’ve been working out and using some of what they showed me to hopefully go back in September and show that I belong at the next level,” said Bell.

It wasn’t all work for Bell in Calgary, as the camp overlapped with the world famous Stampede, and he was able to take in some of the sights of the city during his stay out west.

“It was my first time in Calgary, so I’d never been to Stampede before, and the Flames treated all of us really well and gave us tickets to a show. It was a great chance to be able to hang out with the other guys at camp away from the rink.”

Bell has one year of eligibility left in the OHL, and last season was named captain of the Ottawa 67s after Sean Monahan departed for the Flames.

“It was a great honour to be named captain,” recalled Bell. “I was nervous at

Uxbridge native Brendan Bell - team captain of the OHL’s Ottawa 67s - recently turned heads at the Calgary Flames’ development camp, and has been invited back by the team to attend the YoungStars Classic Tournament, to be held in Penticton, British Columbia this September.

SUBMITTED PHOTO first, but I talked with my coaches and they said to ‘keep playing your game’ and I tried to be as much of a leader as I could on and off the ice.”

Bell notes that while he is not the most vocal player on the team, he chooses to lead by example.

“I’ve never been a big talker, but I definitely consider myself to be a leader. I try and lead through my actions on the ice and set a strong example, and when I do have something to say I think it has more of an impact.”

Bell began playing hockey in Uxbridge with the Stars, before later moving on to the ‘AAA’ ranks with the Central Ontario Wolves.

In 2010, after splitting his time between the Wolves and the Uxbridge SS Ti-

gers, Bell was selected in the fifth round (96th overall) by the Barrie Colts during OHL Priority Selection.

Bell spent the 2010-11 season in Junior ‘A’ with the Aurora Tigers, before making the jump to Barrie the following season.

After 26 games in the 2012-13 season, Bell was traded to the Ottawa 67s, where he appeared to come into his own. Last season, Bell posted career bests with 25 goals and 24 assists in 68 games played to go along with 103 penalty minutes.

“My game has definitely grown since I was drafted and I’m a lot physically bigger and faster,” commented Bell. “I’ve also matured as a person over my time in the OHL, it’s a great league for development on and off the ice.”

During the summer months, Bell

maintains a rigorous workout routine as well as a full-time landscaping job.

“It makes for very long days, but I feel like it’ll all be worth it in the end,” added Bell.

Most of all, Bell attributes his success on the ice to a deep-rooted love of the game, and he encourages young people who may wish to one day follow in his footsteps to keep the game fun and enjoyable.

“I would tell kids out there to keep working hard. If you love the sport, be it hockey, baseball, swimming or something else, just keep doing it and having fun. If you’re not having fun, what’s the point? I’ve been playing hockey my whole life, and I’ve loved every minute of it. I just hope to be able to play for as long as I possibly can.”

Angels are one step closer to Nationals DAN CROSBY Special to The Standard

The Port Perry Angels Novice Team, already enjoying a stellar season, are one step closer to achieving their goal of a berth in the Canadian Under-14 Softball National Championships.

This past weekend, the Angels faced the best teams in Eastern Ontario and came away with a Bronze Medal and, more importantly, a spot in the Ontario Provincial “A” Championship Pool.

The Angels paved their way to the Ontario Championship Tournament with three straight victories over teams from Mississauga SouthWest, Cobourg, and Mississauga North, the last game being a 9-2 thumping of a very strong Mississauga contender.

They finally went down to defeat at the hands of another Mississauga team, but not before they had clinched their medal and the Championship spot ahead of teams from Aurora, Whitby, Kawartha Lakes, Barrie, Napanee, and others.

The girls continue their quest next weekend in Guelph against the best teams that the province has to offer. At stake: a berth in the National Championships, to be held in British Columbia next month.

The team has been very busy raising money to make the trip if they qualify and appreciates the assistance and support of many Port Perry businesses.

Second place finish for Jason Hathaway

YARD SALE

YARD SALE

Saturday July 26 ~ 8am-2pm 26 Braevalley Crt., Prince Albert 30 years of stuff TO GO...

The Standard in Multi-Media News

Uxbridge’s Jason Hathaway settled for second place last week in the Velocity Prairie Thunder 250 on Wednesday, July 16 in NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented

by Mobil 1 action at Auto Clearing Motor Speedway in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Road-course ace L.P. Dumoulin, from Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, came out on top in a wild green-white-checkered finish to the race.

It was shaping up to be a second straight victory at Auto Clearing for Scott Steckly, who paced both practices and captured the pole earlier in the day. The defending event and series champion led the first 80 circuits from the pole and a race-high 153 in total. He had a commanding lead late in the race as he led 72 laps during an extended green-flag run -- putting all but five other cars down a lap -- before the final caution came out.

McColm and Dumoulin had pitted much earlier in the race (Dumoulin on Lap 36) for their right side tires; drivers were allowed a maximum of two tires for this event.

That left them out to fend off the challenge of Hathaway, Steckly and company on fresh tires.

The race featured eight lead changes among five different drivers. Dumoulin’s only two laps led were the last two of the event.

“It was a real great race, we really battled hard with Scott (Steckly) and a lot of the guys early on,” Hathaway said following the race. “We’ll come out of here and re-group for St. Eustache, and we always run well there too.”

With five races completed on the season, Hathaway now sits fourth in the NCTS standings with 187 points.

Dumoulin leads the series with 209, followed by J.R. Fitzpatrick and Andrew Ranger.

The Velocity Prairie Thunder 250 will premiere on TSN on Saturday, July 26, at 3 p.m.

The Canadian Tire Series will return to action on Saturday, July 26 at Autodrome St. Eustache in Quebec for the National 250.

Small-town slaughter fest ‘Save Yourself’ films in Port Perry BENJAMIN PRIEBE The Standard

SCUGOG: Five young women are heading to Los Angeles for the first screening of their just finished horror film. Along the way, a stop is made in a sleepy town in the American mid-west.

When one of the girls goes missing, the other four fatefully decide to investigate a lonely farm house across the deserted road.

Soon, this troupe of expert film makers enter a bloody battle for their lives, at the hands of a deranged couple who live on ... Scugog’s 6th Line?

‘Save Yourself ’ is a feature length indie horror film-within-a-film, directed by veteran Ryan M Andrews. A cast and crew of 50 have descended on the Reesor family home, just outside of Port Perry for filming.

“Horror movies always seem to follow the same formula, so we took a different turn and pitted these film makers against a classic deranged mad scientist character,” said Ryan M Andrews. “This murder-barn and horrorhouse in Port Perry will be our main set for nine

The cast of Save Yourself, now filming in Scugog Township, stands ready for a fight inside a Scugog Line 6 barn-turned-laboratory.

days, and it holds a majority of our most important scenes.”

When asked how the film crew decided upon the lonely Bates Mansionesque century home, Mr. Andrews explained that his Executive Producer, Pino Halili of City Sound in Toronto, has in-laws in the area - “He just drove right by it one day and spread the word, we all

loved the location and the homeowners have been nothing but lovely and helpful.”

“When we find a location we love, I’ll just send my beautiful actresses to go knock on the door, they work wonders!”

Previous filming has taken the cast and crew across Southern Ontario, with stops in Oakville, Missisauga and Toronto.

“Production started just two weeks ago, but this is an idea that Jessican Cameron and I have been planning for over two years,” said Mr. Andrews. “It’s all starting to come together and we’re impressed with everyone involved.”

Producer and actress Jessica Cameron (Camel

Spiders, Truth or Dare, Silent Night) has been titled as a horror flick Scream Queen, for her shockingly loud pipes and bloodcurlding pitch.

Originally from Owen Sound, she has recently been making waves in the Los Angeles movie industry, but was excited to return to small town Ontario.

While filming a scene in which Ms. Cameron runs shreiking from the maniacal villian (played

by Ry Barrett) her screams for help actually brought passing traffic to a concerned stop, and reportedly deafened the sound crew.

Award winning Canadian indie actor Ry Barrett (Neverlost, Desperate Souls, Antisocial) will

join the cast as Save Yourself ’s intense villain.

This will be the first time that Mr. Andrews, Ms. Cameron and Mr. Barrett have collaborated since last year’s experimental short film ‘Klymene’ was released.

The cast and crew ere reluctant to give away too many plot details, but Mr. Barrett was seen to play an intelligent, vicious, and all-around terrifying Frankensteinian mad man.

“When it comes to horror films, the common perception is that all you need is gallons of blood and a slasher,” said Mr. Andrews. “What really makes an excellent film are the actors, and I have the oppurtunity to work with some greats.”

Ms. Cameron picked up where Mr. Andrews left off, and continued to explain that a horror movie can only be terrifying if the acting is both flawless and believable.

“You want the viewer to think about what they would do that in that situation. Do you run and hide, or do you face the killer to save your friends?

It’s all about making the fear real.”

The veteran cast joins a long list of productions welcomed into Scugog and North Durham recently - including Hemlock Grove, Nikita and Happy Town.

The film crew is hoping to be wrapped up this portion of the film by the end of this week, and plans to release the film near the end of 2014.
