Professional rodeo: A family affair and way of life

by David Meyer

(photos from the Holstein Rodeo by Helen Michel)

ERIN - Joe Scully blames his dad. Callie Gray blames her sister.

The word “blame,” though, is a relative thing. In the case of Scully and the Gray family, all from the Hillsburgh area, the word “credit” could easily be substituted.

Whatever the word, they have the bug. The rodeo bug.

And it has taken them all over North America. They have won championships and they love to compete. Scully has gone from a toddler working a lasso, to a rodeo clown, to an announcer.

He is something of an historian, too. He said in an interview rodeo started in 1886, and the Ontario Rodeo Association (ORA) was formed in 1957, and reformed again in 1970, leaving it the second longest consecutively running group in Canada.

“It slowly grew up in the 1990s,” he remembered, adding it went from seven events to 28 by 2005. The ORA now has 14 events, and other associations running similar shows means 45 rodeos a year in Ontario - and that includes a high school competition.

“We support that,” Scully said. “A lot of those compete in our association.”

Scully was only 3 when his

father, a pleasure rider, went to Oklahoma to obtain an education as a farrier. He also learned how to rope while there. Scully tried it, and instead of lassoing something, the rope caught him. He soon rode six nights a week in Rockwood, and practiced roping two to three hours a day.

By 15, he was a rodeo clown, an important job for entertaining and protecting rider and animals in the ring.

His brother, Ross, plus Ross’ wife, also compete on the pro circuit. It’s all family.

Others who live near Hillsburgh are hooked, too.

Callie Gray, in fact, is getting her education through rodeo. She won a scholarship to Western Oklahoma State College after years of competing and winning in the Ontario High School Rodeo competition.

Callie Gray “blames” her sister, Tamaran Mousseau, for getting her hooked. Callie was six years younger when Tamaran took up rodeo. “Being a little sister, what she got into, I wanted to get into.”

Before rodeo, they were riding. The Gray family was at the Holstein Rodeo on July 8, and the sisters’ mom, Lisa, laughed

and said back then they went to just about every county fair for riding events. When the girls learned rodeo, Lisa said they spent a lot of time driving to Michigan to compete.

Logically, Lisa Gray formed the Ontario High School Rodeo Association, which has its championships in Hillsburgh, at the Gray farm. That association led to competitions in

the Rodeo of the Year in 2008, Erin won it in 2009, and Holstein, adding extra prize money, won it last year.

This year, Erin is tops in prize money, and that is not lost on the competitors. Scully and the Gray sisters think a friendly feud fought with big prize money is great for all the competitors.

Scully will be able to compete only on Sunday this year because Erin’s rodeo was rescheduled from early June.

He is attending his best friend’s wedding on the first day, but will be there on Sunday.

“It’s my home town rodeo,” he said.

The Erin event had been run by the Erin Agricultural Society and it is held at the fairgrounds on the main street. This year, the International Professional Rodeo Association (IPRA), presented by the Rawhide Rodeo Company, will run the 2011 Professional Rodeo Season Series there.

It will attract competitors from four countries, including top hands from San Paulo, Brazil; the United States; Mexico; and Canada.

It will offer all the competitions that two-day events

day, and left from there on Sunday for yet another competition in New Brunswick.

Callie Gray said competing in the U.S. for the high school championships led to her scholarship. Coaches from American colleges and universities meet the competitors there, offer tips for techniques, and watch as students improve.

She won a scholarship worth

Oklahoma for the title. Lisa noted this is the first time in ten years she has not been there in July for the high school championships.

When asked why, Lisa and Tamaran said in unison, “Callie graduated,” from high school.

Both sisters still compete in rodeo and are planning to be in Erin on Aug. 20 and 21.

Mousseau was at the Holstein Rodeo only the Friday night. She left for Quebec for another competition the next

$4,000 to $5,000 a year last summer.

Her family said there is a circuit and competitors meet and make friends easily.

“It’s a festival,” said Mousseau, looking around the Holstein event, where everybody was chatting with friends and getting ready to compete.

It is the biggest rodeo in Ontario, attracting over 30,000 people each year. And it has a friendly rivalry with the Erin Rodeo.

Scully said Holstein won

in Ontario have. That includes bull riding, bareback bronc riding, saddle bronc riding, team roping and calf roping.

All professional cowboys and cowgirls competing will be vying for world championship points and tens of thousands of dollars in prize money. The top 15 cowboys and cowgirls of the IPRA rodeo series will qualify for the International Professional Rodeo Finals in Oklahoma City in January.

The Ontario rodeos are used to raise funds for charities.

Portions of the proceeds from Erin will support Camp Maple Leaf. It was started by the Canadian Council of War Veterans in 1955 and pays homage to Canada’s fallen soldiers. It is a year-round camp for military families with children to reconnect in a nurturing environment after a demanding tour of duty.

For over 40 years, it provided a summer experience to children who, due to financial barriers, would not have been able to attend summer camp.

EQUINE

Prince Philip Mounted Games hosted at fairgrounds over July 9 weekend FERGUS - The Prince Philip Mounted Games continue to be one of the most popular branch and regional disciplines during the pony club year.

On July 9, participants and their parents and ponies in tow began arriving at the Fergus sportplex grounds early, with the games at 9am. Each rider is required to provide a parent volunteer, who performs a two-hour duty such as acting as a gate attendant, tack check, or lane judge, for example.

Teammates wear matching tops and socks, with Guelph Pony Club polo tops the standard option.

The races start with teams competing in their own level groupings in a fenced area as spectators and curious residents wander over.

The Mounted Games is a sport with fast races, exciting for participants and spectators, are performed by good riders on well-trained ponies.

The sport requires a high degree of athletic ability, good riding skills, hand-to-eye coordination, general determination to see things through to the end, and a competitive spirit that nevertheless requires an ability to work together with other riders and a willingness to help

one another.

The games were the inspiration of Prince Philip.

When Colonel Sir Mike Ansell was director of the Horse of the Year show, Prince Philip asked if he could devise a competition for children who could not afford an expensive, well-bred pony, and in 1957, the Horse of the Year show, staged the first Mounted Games Championship for the Prince Philip Cup. The sport as it exists today was founded by Norman Patrick, whose aim was to extend the sport for wider participation. In 1984, he established the Mounted Games Association of Great Britain.

The International Mounted Games Association now has members in 20 countries.

The original format was team competitions, but the games are now also played with pairs of riders and individuals.

In team competitions, a team consists of five riders and ponies. In each game, four out of the five take part, leaving the team trainer the flexibility to select the four best for any particular game.

In pairs competition, the responsibility is shared between only two riders, and it is often

easier for two friends to train and compete together, instead of assembling a team of five.

In individual competitions, if any mistakes are made the fault is clearly identified (the rider, not the pony - which is only following orders.)

Whichever format is chosen, the same general rules apply: no whips, no spurs, and no bad or unsporting behaviour.

Each format of competition has its own repertory of about 20 different games, with some common to all formats. One of the best known and most exciting of the games is Speed Weavers, or Bending Race, because of its simplicity and speed. The rider weaves and bends, tracing a slalom path, between five poles along the length of the arena.

The Flag Flyers, with flags being put into and retrieved from small containers, at high speed, is another popular game.

Even faster is Sword Lancers, particularly in its individual variation, where rings are collected from the tops of poles with a wooden sword.

The Agility Aces, or Stepping Stones race, wherein the rider dismounts, runs across a set of upturned buckets (stepping stones), and vaults back

Equine Guelph’s integrative therapies workshop a huge success

by Jackie Bellamy GUELPH - Equine Guelph presented its first ever integrative therapies workshop in May to a full house at the Ontario Veterinary College.

Minds were engaged from the start with Dr. Brad Hanna’s thought-provoking introduction. Entrenched in evidencedbased approaches, first impressions might have been that the OVC professor was going to debunk the notion of integrative therapies all together. That initial reaction quickly turned into unanimous nods of agreement throughout the lecture hall, filled with horse owners eager to learn more about complementing their horse health programs.

Hanna took everyone on a journey through time that left the audience in no doubt of the need for best scientific practices and meticulously recorded statistics. By the end of his talk, listeners knew of many criteria to look for in valid studies.

Hanna set the tone to keep an open mind but gave the audience tools to assess credibility.

Bone cracking myths were dispelled as Dr. Scott Hie, a chiropractor, went on to educate everyone about what an

adjustment is, and when it is useful.

Restriction and lack of motion were the symptoms Hie stated reasons to see a chiropractor - but not before seeing a vet. He explained an adjustment as a high velocity, low amplitude thrust. He also let everyone know that chiropractic is not an option when there is severe heat, swelling, lameness, or open wounds.

Participants interested in learning more about how the joints are connected were encouraged to consider Equine Guelph’s anatomy course or seminars.

A high level scientific talk ensued when Dr. Wendy Pearson, of the University of Guelph, took the stage, outlining the potential of a new breed of “super mint” to reduce inflammation and aid in the treatment of arthritis.

The audience was shown the complexities of biochemistry through a presentation explaining how components within cells are interacting.

Equine Guelph Director, Gayle Ecker summed up that lecture by stating, “If my chemistry professor was this passionate, I might be in a different field today.”

The search for symmetry followed with a hands-on talk

by Holly Barnett, a massage therapist. With over 80 modalities of recognized massage, her speech left the audience wanting to learn more about trigger points and how to relieve those pesky knots.

Barnett instructed horse owners to “look for symmetry” and gave many tips on how to palpate and stretch horses to help combat what can become a vicious cycle of pain and muscle contraction.

Lastly, and going into overtime, Jackie Vandenbrink, M.Sc. Equine Nutritionist, gave the audience food for thought.

No one was concerned about staying late when she started serving up sound advice for feeding your herbivore a forage-based diet. Vandenbrink emphasized, “Good management should stimulate good digestion.”

Vandenbrink stressed the importance of looking at the whole picture and not reaching for one magical powder. If a

vet, chiropractor, or massage therapist finds a physical problem, talking to a nutritionist to improve the feed program can be an important part of the solution.

Good quality hay was discussed at length.

Vandenbrink said that hay is not a balanced diet and does not mimic grazing in the wild.

Four-month-old hay does not contain the higher levels of Vitamin E that can be ingested on a well-maintained pasture.

She suggested turning hors-

es out on pasture as a great way to buffer the gut, guarding against ulcers.

“A well functioning hind gut is a source of nutrients for the rest of the body, not only in calories but also in B vitamins, electrolytes and fluids,” said Vandenbrink while discussing the importance of fibre.

The participants were given plenty of information to digest.

KITCHENER - Iron Horse Photo Inc. has announced the launch of Race Day, a newconcept short documentary about harness racing, created with user-generated content.

All of the footage used in the film will be shot by people who love, live and breathe harness racing. The producers are urging harness racing participants and enthusiasts to shoot their harness racing day on Aug. 6.

By relinquishing control of the video cameras to racing enthusiasts and amateur videographers, the producers hope to obtain candid and honest footage that captures the colour, emotion, character and characters of the harness racing game.

The most compelling and distinctive footage will be used to create a 20 to 30 minute documentary illustrating life’s highs, lows, and colourful inbetweens in harness racing, all captured in one day.

Race Day will premiere at the black-tie O’Brien awards gala on Jan. 28 in Mississauga.

The awards celebrate the best in harness racing over a given year and are the highest honour the sport bestows in Canada.

Following its premiere, Race Day will be available

online at www.RaceDayDoc. com and on the Race Day doc YouTube channel. Race Day will be supported by a publicity team that will promote the film for inclusion in film festivals and contests, and for distribution across global broadcast mediums.

It will be used as a tool to increase exposure for harness racing through the power of film.

Iron Horse Photo is hoping for submissions from around the globe, and is accepting footage from anyone age 13 or older. Snippets of footage from all contributors will be included in a Race Day video montage to be released online two weeks before the release of the final film.

Contributors who make the final cut will be acknowledged in the final film credits. There is no cash reward for footage submission.

All footage must be shot on one day, Aug. 6.

Footage must be submitted to Race Day producers by Aug. 31.

A trailer for Race Day will be released online on Jan. 1.

A video montage (includes clips from all contributors) will be released Jan. 14.

The final film will premiere

in Mississauga and will be released online on Jan. 28.

Publicity efforts to maximize exposure for the film, and the harness racing industry, will be ongoing throughout 2012.

This project was inspired by last year’s global experimental feature documentary Life In A Day, which invited YouTube users to take a video camera and record their day on July 24.

The producers received 80,000 videos containing 4,500 hours of footage. The final piece was 90 minutes long and premiered on YouTube during the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and will be released in select theatres this summer.

Race Day is produced by Iron Horse Photo Inc., which is owned and operated by Kelly Spencer, an award-winning harness racing publicist and photographer. It specializes in equine photography and video production and has, for the past decade, served as the track photographer at five tracks throughout Ontario.

Spencer is also the director of marketing and communications at Grand River Raceway in Elora.

by David Meyer ELORA - Ever thought about buying a race horse?

Tales abound about horses that were purchased cheaply and suddenly were winning thousands of dollars.

In fact, the latest standardbred horse phenomena is partly owned by a Rockwood man.

Warrawee Needy captured the Gold Final at Mohawk Raceway on July 1. Starting from post 4 the E Dees Cam son and driver Jody Jamieson sailed away from the starting gate.

Warrawee Needy easily drew away to a two and three-quarter length victory in 1:52.2.

Princeton resident Carl Jamieson trains Warrawee Needy for his partners Tom Kyron of Toronto, Floyd Marshall of Jarvis, and the colt’s breeder, Dr. Michael Wilson, of Rockwood. The horsemen purchased the half-brother to $265,704 winner Big Bay Point from last fall’s Canadian Open Yearling Sale for a modest $20,000.

But, he said, “There is so much more to the program.�

That includes visiting breeder farms and industry events. “The whole experience has been incredible,� he said.

In his first nine partnership purchases, Wagner said he had seen eight of those horses actually reach the stage where they race. He noted that is a very high average, and that many horses do not pan out and some never get to the starting gate.

He said his first horse had been his best - until his wife, Janet, got involved. The night before the open house, that horse raced at one of the better tracks in a very high calibre race. “That’s the goal,� he said. “We’ve been involved since 2005. It’s been a lot of fun for us.�

Wagner said $4,500 might seem like a lot of money but he compared spending that to buy a horse with a trip to Hawaii, which costs about the same. “After a week, you get back and it’s over,� he said of the trip. The

horse racing can continue for several years, and, as with Cam Fella, the breeding fees alone can be very lucrative.

A limited partnership is formed for each group. The partnership buys one yearling at the fall sales. The partners will set their final budget for the yearling purchase (generally in the range of $22,000 to $28,000). That leaves the partnership with funds for training costs, feed, entry fees and other costs for the first year of ownership.

The SBOA has a formal detailed partnership agreement to govern the affairs of each group, which specifically includes provisions that only the A partners vote on the business of the partnership and a simple majority rules. Any money earned will go first to the A partners to recoup their initial investments - and then to the SBOA to repay the forgivable loan.

As soon as that SBOA loan is repaid, the SBOA relinquishes all ownership in the partnership. Each partnership also provides that while Continued on next page

Buying a race horse - with a subsidy - can be fun from previous page the partners can decide by vote to sell their horse at any time, the horse must be sold at the end of the four-year-old season to ensure liquidity for the partners.

The mentor arranges regular meetings with the trainer and provides the financial management of the partnership, as well as written progress reports to the partners.

The 2011 mentor will be Brian Webster and the trainer will be Tony O’Sullivan.

Wagner told the audience flatly that there are risks involved, and a horse might race once or twice, and then not race again for a year. Others simply do not meet the requirements. He added that two year old racers generally get six to eight starts.

But, he said, there are so many benefits to horse ownership that he has no regrets at all.

Wagner might have convinced a couple from Hamilton who attended the open house.

That duo asked numerous detailed questions and seemed

quite interested.

Perhaps they are hoping for another horse like one that came out of nowhere a few years ago.

Stephanie Smith-Rothaug thought the cost would be a nice racehorse, but when she went to sell him at the yearling sales she said she would have been happy just to fetch the price of the sire’s fee: $7,500.

Instead, she got $40,000.

Even at that price, the colt was a bargain.

At $300,000, the Battle Of Waterloo is one of the richest races offered to that class. The winner takes half of the purse, and the remainder goes to the next four finishers.

ELORA - Grand River Raceway’s 14th edition of its signature race, the Battle of Waterloo, will be contested on Aug. 1 as part of the racetrack’s Industry Day, a celebration of the horse racing industry.

to Final Inspection

Surfaces study: effects on performance

GUELPH - University of Guelph researcher, Dr. Jeff Thomason is the co-author in a study that is internationally acclaimed: Track Surfaces Paper A number of factors affect the performance of a racing or training surface according to the 34-page Racing Surfaces White Paper published in June this year.

The publication is a collection of scientific papers co-authored by a widely recognized panel including: Dr. Mick Peterson, (University of Maine), Dr. Jeffrey Thomason (University of Guelph), Dr. Lars Roepstorrf (Swedish University of Agricultural Science), Dr. C. Wayne McIlwraith, (Colorado State University), and Christie Mahaffey, MPhil (University of Maine).

Though there is still much research to be done since the forming of the racing surfaces committee at the inaugural Welfare and Safety of the Racehorse Summit in 2006, the publication is expected to benefit trainers, track superintendents, and any person in charge of riding surfaces.

Details of proper maintenance of surfaces and training guidelines can be found, based on the knowledge gained from the researchers’ findings thus

far.

The paper notes, “No other risk factor, except perhaps the quality of pre-race examinations, has an impact on all horses racing at a particular venue on a single day. Therefore the development of a consistent and well-characterized racing surface is an important goal of the industry. “This requires that a tool exist that can objectively quantify the functional properties of surfaces, particularly those properties in the causal pathway to injury.�

The authors added, “In fact, the role of surfaces in the debate over the safety of racing is sufficiently important that it may be that many of the other challenges facing the industry will only be addressed in a systematic manner after significant progress has occurred in understanding what constitutes a safe racing surface.

Thus, improved racing surfaces should be regarded as a step on the path to improved safety of the racehorse and resulting in a safer sport for the riders.�

The authors noted that the document considers only the effect of surfaces on the risk to the horse. “Optimization of surfaces alone will never eliminate catastrophic injuries, and may not even be a primary fac-

tor in most injuries. However, the absence of well accepted characterization methods and basic science of racing surfaces is a significant obstacle to improved performance and safety.�

The stated, “A critical aspect of the effort to improve surfaces is looking at the factors of which control the performance of racing surfaces in the context of the relevant biomechanics, the different types of surfaces, and potential testing and maintenance strategies.�

from previous page son. In June, his three-year-old pacer, Up The Credit, won pacing’s richest race, the $1.5-million North America Cup at Mohawk Racetrack.

The Princeton trainer has another larger-than-life contender in the wings for Grand River Raceway’s big dash.

Warrawee Needy is undefeated in four career starts. He was purchased by Jamieson and his co-owners at a yearling sale in 2010 for $20,000 and has already banked $113,500.

He has paced quicker than any of his contemporaries in Canada, and without any real display of effort. His biggest tests are in front of him, but he is, by all accounts, the horse to beat going into the Battle Of Waterloo.

It’s been four years since Jamieson had a victory in this race, and Warrawee Needy seems the likely candidate to turn it around. Hopefuls will start in elimination races at Grand River Raceway on July 25. The top nine performers will advance to the final on Industry Day.

OTTAWA – Will it be sizzling barbecued beef ribs? A pulled pork sandwich? A clam bake on the beach? Buttermilk corn bread? Chickpea and cranberry couscous salad?

However people celebrate Food Day Canada, there’s no shortage of Canadian ingredients to give them a taste of this country.

On July 30, approximately 300 restaurants across Canada will honour their northern bounty with special all-Canadian menus that highlight our rich culinary heritage. Those who prefer to celebrate at home or the cottage can cook a scrumptious Canadian meal using time-tested family recipes or by trying something new from the www.FoodDayCanada.ca website. All celebrations will pay tribute to the Canadian farmers and food systems that deliver top-quality, safe foods to our tables.

said Anita Stewart, of Elora, the culinary writer and University of Guelph consultant who founded Food Day Canada and has enthusiastically developed the celebration across Canada.

“If we don’t keep our farmers in business, who’s going to feed us? Who’s going to feed the world?”

Food Day Canada began in 2003 with a nation-wide barbecue to support the then-beleaguered beef industry. The next year, it expanded to include all Canadian ingredients and it has grown every year since.

In 2010, restaurants joined the celebration. This year, the number of restaurants has reached new heights, new awards have been added, and the Parks Canada National Historic Sites are participating.

“We’re proud to promote our safe, nutritious, high-quality ingredients and ready-toeat foods to Canadians and the world,” said Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz.

“Nationally, as well as around the globe, people are recognizing Canadian farmers for producing world-class food, and we’re hard at work bringing those products to the table.”

Studies have shown that

Canadians prefer to purchase Canadian food and do so when labels clearly identify Canadian products. Also, when people around the world see a red maple leaf on a food product, they associate it strongly with Canada and describe it as safe, fresh, and natural.

Events will also take place across the country.

Stewart said the day-long celebration will start with breakfast on Signal Hill in St. John’s, led by the Sheraton’s executive chef Roary MacPherson, and end with a Dungeness crab cookout on Chesterman Beach, in Tofino, B.C., at the Wickaninnish Inn. She also has teamed up with a number of sponsors across Canada, including the University of Guelph, Canola Council of Canada, Beef Information Centre, Pulse Canada, Egg Farmers of Canada, Taste of Nova Scotia and Parks Canada.

Since its inception 10 years ago, nearly 2,000 youngsters 9 to 16 have discovered that learning about the outdoors is fun when the lessons are hands-on. The outdoors has a great deal to offer kids, but sometimes they need a little nudge to discover it. Here they have the chance to enjoy fishing, bird watching, camping or simply spotting an acrobatic osprey.

Last year 36 station leaders and over 70 volunteers assisted with the day, helping to set up the tents, prepare the sites, prepare meals and help groups of students as they tour the various stations.

“As a parent turned volunteer, I have experienced first-hand the benefit of such a day,” said Sharon Grose, a member of the board. “I attended the first event with my oldest son. I was amazed at the enthusiasm and passionate of volunteers who were willing to share their skills. We’ve seen reptile displays, dog training, archery - a lot of activities that you would not find anywhere else.

My son, Nick, has taken up hunting and fishing and now is one of the volunteers. My other children look forward to volunteering and attending.”

Instructors bring their skills and provide the gear so that young

people can see and feel what it’s like to handle a bow and arrow, build a bird house or feeder. Many of the kids have never done these activities before. Other activities include bird identification and banding, camping, falconry, fish identification, fly fishing, target shooting, wildflowers, wetland discovery and butterfly banding.

“Our goal is simple. We want today’s youth to be exposed to outdoor adventures and activities, to learn what opportunities are out there so they can enjoy the great outdoors. We plant a seed, and then hopefully the students will become interested and possibly become future environmental stewards,” Grose says.

Youth 9 to 16 are can register online at www.youthoutdoorsday.com. Register early as space is limited to 200, the deadline is Aug. 31st. There is no charge to youth, who must be accompanied by an adult. Donations are appreciated and a tax receipt can be issued for over $25. For information, contact Sharon Grose at sharon@huskyfarm.ca.

ENTERTAINMENT Review: Italian Funerals & Other Festive Occasions - happy and sad

by Marie Male DRAYTON - Warning: You may want to become Italian after watching this production.

Who else can simultaneously convey so much love, sorrow, and humour just as the title suggests. Italian Funerals & Other Festive Occasions lets the audience in on the Masiello family’s past and present as its members cope with the passage of life. Many theatregoers were caught without Kleenex, perhaps not expecting the tears that came from both ends of the emotional spectrum.

W. Joseph Matheson thoughtfully plays and narrates as John, an Italian-American, middle aged teacher grappling with the fact that his mother will soon be lost to him through dementia. He reflects on his life as family members come and go, leaving their impressions. Providing comic relief along with an understanding of the boy behind the man is talented charmer Trek Buccino, who plays John as a child.

The two work well together, allowing for simple transition of scene to scene.

Kathleen Sheehy, as Mama, gives a strong performance with reassurance that it is possible to keep a sense of humour through it all. Michelle Fisk plays John’s sister, Brigida, and the audience feels her struggle as main caregiver and loving daughter to her declining mother.

Grandmother Nada Humsi shuffles on stage in the proverbial widow’s weeds, complete with unforgiving scarf, and succeeds in alarming all, on stage and off.

Recognizable from TV’s Ready or Not and as Uncle Taki in My Big Fat Greek Wedding is Gerry Mendicino, who plays Uncle Dom, a loving family man with much more up his sleeve than meets the eye.

Anne Louise Bannon is Aunt Mary, Dom’s loving, loud, fancy wife who tells a good story - even if it is off colour.

Jill Diane Filion is a neigh-

bour with a lovely singing voice and Elisa Atristain brings much pathos with her role as a life loving girl taken down by it. Tom Koetting plays a Mafia Don, a shocking element of menace among this Italian family.

Embellishing this comedic drama is the theme of life imitating art. The characters can relate to protagonists of classic Italian operas such as La Traviata, La Bohème, and Tosca.

That music is sung and played to great effect at moments during the performance. Further driving home a feeling are religious scenes projected on descending screens.

Set and lighting designer Stephen Degenstein has created a homey kitchen that typifies the scenes where most of family life happens.

Under Adam Furfaro’s direction, the multi-dimensional show flows easily so that its meaning attains full, lifeaffirming impact as characters span time.

Family tree for new Guelph Museum GUELPH - Area artist Graeme Sheffield, of The Ironwood Anvil, will be designing, fabricating and installing the family tree donor recognition piece in the new Guelph Civic Museum.

The project is part of the museum’s capital campaign, which raised over $770,000.

Approximately 120 donors who contributed a minimum of $1,000 will have their name and date of arrival in Guelph inscribed on a leaf.

The tree will be located in the reception area and will be a unique reflection on the heritage of the community acknowledging long time and new residents.

The Ironwood Anvil is an award winning artisan blacksmith business, specializing in custom hand forged iron products for indoor and outdoor settings. With 25 years of metal working experience, Sheffield founded the company six years

ago. He was pleased to work on a project recognizing donors as well as the founders and citizens of Guelph.

“Being able to use some of the same basic tools and techniques that have been used for centuries through the art of blacksmithing will give me the opportunity to manipulate the steel into forms that will give the tree sculpture some lifelike qualities.

“I am happy to be able to take an otherwise cold, lifeless medium as steel and transform it into a lasting piece of art work that will feature enduring qualities and workmanship for current and future generations to enjoy.”

Construction of the new museum continues at the site of the former Loretto convent and the new Guelph Civic Museum will open to the public in late fall 2011.

Galbraith has show at gallery GUELPH - State of Flow, photographs by Sylvia Galbraith, will be on display at the Whitestone Gallery from July 31 to Aug. 26.

The opening reception is on Aug. 6, from 7 to 9pm.

State of Flow includes many

new photographs by the Fergus photographer. Her images explore the concept of movement in natural elements.

The Whitestone Gallery is at 80 Norfolk Street in Guelph, an historic stone building situated near the Church of Our

Lady.

It is an artist-run gallery, with a new solo show and members’ exhibitions each month.

Farm Flicks contest is open to young Canadian videographers Young Canadian adults between ages of 16 and 24 can get out video cameras this summer to capture and create clips about Canadian farming - for a chance to win a wide variety of prizes.

The Farm Flicks contest is being sponsored by the Farm Care Foundation.

Contestants will create a one to two minute video on one of five topics. They will then submit their videos, electronically to the Farm Care Foundation for approval before being posted to YouTube.

Video topics include: - Eating local food; - Who are Canadian farmers?

- Farming and the planet; - Farm animal care; and - Agriculture - much more than food.

The deadline for submissions is Nov. 30. Contestants will be encouraged to promote their videos to friends, families, and social media contacts.

Prize winners will be determined by the number of views each video receives on YouTube between Dec. 10 and 31.

The grand prize winner will receive a Playbook, with secondary prizes of a digital camera or cash.

Full details can be found in the discussion section at www.facebook.com/

OntarioFarmAnimalCouncil.

The contest was launched on June 28 at St. Anne’s High School, in Clinton, during a breakfast for the graduating class, which featured local foods grown in Huron County.

The Farm Care Foundation, an initiative of the Ontario Farm Animal Council (OFAC) and AGCare (Agricultural Groups Concerned about Resources and the Environment), focuses its activities on promoting public trust and confidence in food and farming. Entries received from the Farm Flicks contest will be used by the foundation in future educational efforts.

Love triangle leads to comic unrest in Murder at the Best Western ST. JACOBS – The St. Jacobs Country Playhouse is soon to offer a screwball suspense-comedy, Murder at the Best Western, July 20 through Aug. 7.

All is fair in love - and murder - in the witty and intriguing production about a tangled love triangle between a ditzy wife, her car salesman husband, and their buffoon dentist.

Set against the backdrop of an inconspicuous hotel room, the twisted ode to the fickle nature of love will keep the audience chuckling as relationships deteriorate, allegiances divide, and schemes escalate in absurdity.

“The buzz is already building for this killer comedy,” said artistic director of Drayton Entertainment Alex Mustakas.

“Audiences will definitely be on the edge of their seats following the antics.”

A “foolproof” plan does not play out exactly as it should.

Will anyone actually get murdered, or will connubial bliss reign supreme? Whatever happens, this romp will leave people screaming bloody murder by the time the curtain falls.

“This production is packed with plenty of thrills, surprises, tricks, and suspense,” said Mustakas. “Murder at the Best Western is the perfect choice for quality summer entertainment. It combines elements of drama, humour, and suspense to create an unforgettable theatre experience.”

Bob Lohrman returns to St. Jacobs Country Playhouse to direct the production after achieving success with Drayton Entertainment’s revival of Shear Madness, which played to sold-out houses earlier this year.

Murder at the Best Western

stars Stephanie McNamara in the role of Arlene Miller, Jonathan Whittaker is her husband, Paul, and J. Sean Elliott is Dr. Mitchell Lovell, a dentist with an ache for murder.

Murder at the Best Western plays for a limited three week engagement with eight weekly performances July 20 to Aug. 7. Tickets are selling quickly and theatregoers are encouraged to call the St. Jacobs Country Playhouse box office at 519-747-7788 or toll free at 1-888-449-4463 to reserve seats. Or, order online at www. draytonentertainment.com.

Camp logo - Belwood Lodge and Camp officially unveiled a new totem pole on July 9. The Native icon has always been the camp’s logo but the original had rotted away, prompting camp officials to budget for this new one, carved by Belleville’s Peter Paylor.

The camp for individuals with special needs has operated for over 40 years, and runs every summer from June to September.

Here’s How it Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle! Find the answer below.

Horoscopes - For the fourth week of July -

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, this week’s circumstances test your ability to multitask. If you look at it as a game, it could be easier to make it through the week unscathed.

Avoid stress.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you are feeling somewhat scattered and it’s because of the highenergy, high-intensity type of week that is coming up. You may need to find a place to decompress.

Posted Beaches in Wellington County Wellington County has many fantastic beaches to enjoy!

Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health Inspectors check the water at each public beach in Wellington County. At the beginning of the swimming season, health inspectors investigate and complete a survey on the conditions at each beach and the quality of the bathing water. During the summer, weekly water samples are taken and tested for E. coli bacteria.

Beaches are “posted” when levels of E. coli exceed Ontario Ministry of Health guidelines on 2 consecutive samples. Postings recommend that people avoid swimming or swim at their own risk.

For more information on posted beaches in Wellington County, please visit: www.wdghu.org.
