Stages set for Small Halls Festival weekend by Trina Berlo Small Halls Festival is coming up next weekend, beginning Thursday, Sept. 28 with a book launch for Dan Needles’ new publication, True Confessions from the Ninth Concession, a compilation of stories from his beloved column published monthly in area magazines. Needles will be speaking but the really great thing, he says, is that his wife Heath is laying out a dessert table. “Even if they don’t like the book, they will love the desserts,” he said. “This is home turf for these stories, this is where they came from so I like talking to my home audience,” said Needles. He said he has chosen to include about 80 columns written over the past 20 years. “I picked out the ones I liked and they tell a story of a family making its way in the countryside over a period of great change,” said Needles, “the party line gives way to the internet and small farms turn to agribusiness.” Events continue throughout the weekend with Terry O’Reilly, also at Duntroon Hall on the Sunday, and country singer Dan Davidson headlining at Brentwood Hall on Saturday night. Former member of rock band Tupelo Honey, Davidson is fairly new to the country music scene. Nominated for two Canadian Country Music Awards, Found was the top selling Canadian

Avening Hall is hosting back-toback concerts with the Jeremy Fisher
Trio on Friday and NQ Arbuckle and Carolyn Mark on Saturday. Fisher, a three-time Juno award nominee, released his sixth studio The Lemon Squeeze in 2014, including the hit Uh-Oh featuring Serena Ryder.
He is set to release a ten-year anniversary vinyl edition of Goodbye Blue Monday, produced by Avening Hall regular Hawksley Workman. “I’m going to do a short tour in (See “Festival” on page 3)
Fountain won't flow until water quality solved by Trina Berlo The fountain restoration is complete, except for a few minor touchups. Volunteers put in many hours cleaning the landmark fountain sculpture before the bronze could be re-patinated. Station on the Green volunteers, who look after the sculpture, have decided not to turn the fountain back on until the water issue is solved.
“There are a few options available to us so we are looking into that, both in terms of treatment and equipment,” “It all has to be discussed and resolved,” said Bill McDougall. “We will not run the fountain until we have decided on a protocol to control the quality of the water we use in the fountain.” McDougall said it would normally be turned off for the winter after the
Thanksgiving farmers’ market. “There is potential for damage by young people climbing on the sculpture,” said McDougall. The fountain water leaves calcium deposits on the sculpture The Creemore Children’s Dress-up Dance sculpture by Ralph Hicks was in the news recently when the sculptor threatened litigation if the sculpture
was not refurbished in the near future even though plans were already in place to do the work. Fundraising is still underway. To support the restoration project, donation cheques can be made out to Creemore Station on the Green and can be dropped off at The Echo or mailed to 10 Caroline St. East, Creemore Ont., L0M 1G0.

Festival line-up includes food, music, comedy and family fun (Continued from page 1) Ontario and Quebec where we play that record cover to cover so you can probably count on hearing a lot of those tunes at our show on the 29th,” said Fisher. In addition to other projects, Fisher said he is in the process of finishing his first Jeremy Fisher Junior album, to be released on November 24. “It’s a collection of fun, silly and singable children’s songs that I’ve written over the last year watching my daughter grow from and infant into a toddler,” said Fisher. Neville Quinlan, the NQ of NQ Arbuckle, and Mark performed at Avening Hall in 2010 after the release of their 2009 Juno nominated album Let’s Just Stay Here, featuring the song Officer Down. The band didn’t show up so the two of them had to wing it and the show was beautiful and very amusing. Both performers are a bit nutty and always hilarious. Whatever happens, it will be magical and entertaining. Come for the banter, stay for the music. The band’s 2014 release The Future Happens Anyway includes Lifeboat, a song for Carolyn Mark. At Dunedin Hall, Steph and Stewart are celebrating their first anniversary. That is the premise of the play One Good Marriage, written by Sean Reycraft. The play is set in a community hall where a couple slowly reveals the darkly humourous story of their marriage. “The things they are going through are serious but it’s very funny,” said Heidi Lynch, who plays Steph. The couple has moved to the area looking to meet people and the audience has been invited to celebrate their anniversary. “It’s about people who are looking for community – who have lost their community,” said Dunedin resident Steve Lucas, who is directing. Lucas, a set and lighting designer, doesn’t usually direct but he has worked with Lynch on a number of projects

Station on the Green. He said owls fascinate people and their eyes make them the most human of birds. “I live on the ninth concession where there is a large population of owls and people come from all over to see them,” said Harkness. He has also invited photographers, artists and students to show their owl work. On the lawn, James Stacey is showing lawn furnishings that he has created out of repurposed wood pallets. “I’m starting with pallets because they’re easy to find and easy to work with. And most people have the basic tools they’ll need to make themselves something useful,” said Stacey. “I want artisans to see what they can do with pallets, but I also want people generally
to start thinking differently about the things we throw out.” The bowl show is at Creemore Log Cabin, where eight area potters will show the bowls they made specifically for Canada 150, there will be a selection of bowls borrowed from area private collections and Cyndy Reycraft will display her collection of antique soup bowls. It all coincides with Artists on Location happening throughout Creemore. Find a list of artists at the Station on the Green Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There are dozens of other events happening at halls in Clearview Township throughout the weekend. Many are free and family friendly. For a full schedule, visit www. smallhallsfestival.ca.
Heath Needles (above) is baking up some of her famous sweets for husband Dan Needles’ book launch at Duntroon Hall on Sept. 28. A folk owl painted by Debbie Farquharson will be included in the Owl Show at Station on the Green. and she has worked with co-star Alex Crowther on a number of plays. “It’s always nice to work with people you trust and have a great time with,” said Lucas. Lucas said he wanted to make sure there was something happening at Dunedin Hall during the festival and the venue lends itself perfectly to the play. There will be two shows on Saturday, Sept. 30, at 2:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tickets cost $15. On both Saturday and Sunday, Station on the Green will be the home base for several arts events.

The way we were
Smartphones are making us stupid, research says Have you spent time recently with someone who doesn’t use a smartphone? – Yes, those people exist and they are a joy to be around. Smartphones offer valuable technology and make many aspects of life easier, especially when it comes to scheduling and reminding someone to pick up milk while they are grocery shopping because you forgot to include it in the first six texts. The devices are super handy for interacting with people who are not nearby but there is some evidence they may be hindering interactions with the people in the same room, at that moment, what we used to refer to as real life relationships. It is not uncommon to walk into a restaurant and see two people sitting at a table, each one looking at their phones. And not uncommon to try to point it out to your lunch date only to find they are hunched over their phone too. There is a name for it. Phubbing: the act of being snubbed by someone using a smartphone. (The word was made up by an ad agency to promote a dictionary, along with an anti-phubbing campaign and had little to do with social graces, but it stuck.) There does seem to be, however, real science about the alarming rates at which people reference their smartphones (an average of 85 times per day) and there is a study that claims smartphones are indeed making us stupid. This we have all suspected, for sure. If a child asks us a question, we tell them to Google it. We used to tell them to go look it up in the encyclopedia. A romp through those musty old volumes and you won’t soon forget what it is you had to look up there. A Google search only leads to more distractions. You go in search of information about the War of 1812 and one hour later you find yourself watching a stupid subtitled Facebook video about a guy teaching his puppy to go down the stairs – and there’s a tear in your eye. We don’t really need to retain any information anymore because it’s all at the tip of our fingers. All the information we need to contact people, keep appointments, make purchases are on the smartphone, along with access to the vast amount of information that we are not yet aware we need. It’s no wonder people are absolutely terrified of losing their phones. Researchers say that ditching the phone once in a while, or putting it out of sight when concentration is necessary, helps reduce brain drain. It is the constant urge to check the phone that is causing people to underperform mentally. We love out smartphones and we don’t want to live without them but surely we can leave them at home while we go out for lunch with a friend, or at the very least keep them on silent, tucked in a pocket, and have a proper conversation. Who knows? We could learn something.

Hospice uses community feedback to expand services Following a highly successful community engagement campaign, Hospice Georgian Triangle and Saint Elizabeth Health Care are thanking local residents for their feedback, and working together to design new services that will help more people. “The campaign really got people talking about the future of hospice care in our community,” said Hospice Georgian Triangle Executive Director Kelly Borg. “The survey results provide us with a clear roadmap to the kinds of services people want and need, right from the time of diagnosis.” There are many ways the team at Hospice Georgian Triangle can support people who are sick but not dying – for example, those living with chronic conditions such as cancer or heart disease. However, community feedback suggests there is both confusion and distaste for the terms ‘hospice’ and ‘palliative care’ and that these terms should be avoided when speaking about and making these kinds of support services available. “Another key insight we discovered from the

survey is that people and healthcare providers have different perspectives on what they believe is needed most following a life-limiting diagnosis,” said Dr. Paul Holyoke, director of Saint Elizabeth’s Research Centre. “Healthcare providers see emotional support and counselling as the greatest needs, while members of the general community are concerned about practical help and unbiased, honest information about the disease journey and what they should expect.” The Hospice Georgian Triangle Navigator Program is one such example of that “practical help”. The Navigator is a specially trained volunteer who connects with each individual personally, ideally soon after diagnosis, and then accompanies the individual on their disease journey; providing support, advocacy, information and resources along the way. Building on the learning and success of the It Won’t Kill You To Talk With Us™ campaign in the Georgian Triangle community – the first in Canada - Saint Elizabeth will replicate the campaign in the Niagara Region this fall.

Hope Acres marks 50th anniversary For 50 years, men have been coming to the country to set on a path to recovery. Salvation Army officer Joshua Monk had a vision for a country retreat for the men at Toronto Harbour Light Ministries treatment centre, a place within relative proximity to Toronto but away from the distractions of the city. Over five decades, Hope Acres has evolved from being an extension of the Jarvis Street Harbour Light program into a primary addiction treatment centre. In 1966, a piece of farmland in Glencairn was purchased and the process began to transform it into a place of hope. The idea was to give clients a place to heal physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Three days after the Salvation Army took possession of the property in April, a work crew from Jarvis Street Harbour Light arrived to begin converting the barn into a dormitory and workshops. Hope Acres officially opened May 6, 1967 by commissioner Edgar Grinstead who dedicated it as “a place where people could escape the sordid alleys of Hell’s acres through the aid of Hope Acres”. The farmhouse was converted to offices, kitchen and dining room, and a bungalow was built for the directors. The new lodge, which housed offices,

In 1979, the barn was destroyed by fire. A man trapped inside had to be rescued from an upper floor window but no one was seriously injured. The following year, a modern shop and new quarters were built. Today, having outgrown the chapel, services are held in the shop building

and the farmhouse serves as transitional housing. “My wife Kathleen and I had the great privilege of being stationed at Hope Acres from 2001-2005 and it was a highlight of our career,” wrote Major Ian McAlister. “While we did not always succeed with our clients, we saw many who changed their life around and went on to remain clean and productive. We saw family reconciliations and continued to hear from former clients down through the years. We thank God for the opportunities to be part of Hope Acres in every way and we know that God will continue to be honoured in the work done at this marvelous place.”

Eight properties have been approved for funding under the inaugural Community Improvement Grant process to incentivize the façade improvement of local businesses. New signage was approved for Heirloom 142 and Lagom 142 in Creemore. Façade improvements were approved for Clearview Auto Centre, on County Road 9 in New Lowell. Six of the grants will go to Stayner businesses fronting onto Highway 26, including Sassenach, Ancient Traditions, Exit Realty, Billy Hill Pine, Knit’n Kaboodle and a vacant storefront at 7289 Highway 26. The Community Improvement Plan, proposed by Clearview’s manager of community services Mara Burton, was approved in June. Twenty applications were received in the first round of applications. Burton said staff would like to work with the applicants of the remaining applications and provide some guidance toward a resubmission in the spring of 2018. The plan allows for up to 50 per cent funding for grants for façade improvements for commercial and industrial type properties in the downtowns and entrances to settlement areas, reported Burton. The maximum grant is $5,000 for a front façade and $2,500 for a side façade facing a street or rear façade in the downtown that is highly visible. This year’s grants total $24,688.

Found in translation by Basil Guinane Local poet, publisher and translator, Paul Eprile, has found a special calling spending the last 12 years translating the work of the French novelist Jean Giono (1895-1970) into English. Paul has translated two of Giono’s novels ensuring that a major French literary figure of the twentieth century maintains a modern readership. These translations have been well received and to date he has attended two conferences devoted to the works of Giono to discuss the challenges of translating his work. Jean Giono was a prolific author who wrote several novels in addition to short stories, essays and articles. Several of his books have been made into movies including The Horseman on the Roof and the animated The Man Who Planted Trees. Paul first encountered Giono’s work in 2004 while studying French in Toulouse, France. He came across one of Giono’s books, The Open Road, which had been published in 1951. Eprile was at first attracted by the book’s cover, but when he started to read it he was struck by the richness and energy of the language. Thus began a devotion to translating Giono.
DUFFERIN TOWN & COUNTRY FARM TOUR
Paul Eprile Eprile recently signed a contract with the New York Review of Books to translate The Open Road, his third translation of Giono’s work. Paul’s first Giono translation was Hill, which was originally published in 1928. Paul’s translation was published in 2016 by the New York Review of Books and was well received. His most recent translation, which was just released in September, is (See “Giono” on page 8)

Creemore salon re-opens under new ownership by Trina Berlo A salon that opened in Creemore early this year has a new name and a new owner. Trish Buckton has opened The Best Little Hair House, in what was called Utopia Green Salon. Buckton used to own a salon by the same name in Alliston, where she still sees clients one day per week. Having recently moved to the Maple Valley area, she was looking to open a salon in the area when she discovered the Caroline Street business was for sale. An entrepreneur, Buckton is used to running her own business and thought this new venture would be a good fit. “I am looking forward to the change, meeting new people,” she said. “I like Creemore, I like small towns where people are down to earth and relaxed, it’s a simpler way of life.” Buckton had lived in Creemore for five years when
she was a teenager, attending Grade 7 and 8 at the elementary school. She said she couldn’t believe the coincidence when she realized that the salon was in the same building where she had worked at Luigi’s Pizza. With 25 years experience as a stylist, Buckton is offering a full service hair studio with precision cutting, colour, foiling, perms and up-dos. Buckton is using all natural organic products that are infused with essential oils, like tea tree and mint, which are stimulating for the scalp. Vicki Green, the former owner, is available to do manicures and pedicures. The Best Little Hair House is located at 6 Caroline Street West. The salon is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays, with early mornings and evenings by appointment. Closed Sunday and Monday. For appointments, call 705-3094247 (HAIR).

Giono translated Moby Dick over three years (Continued from page 6) Melville, which was originally published in 1941. Melville is a fictional account of a trip to England by the American author Herman Melville. On this trip, Melville encounters Adelina White, an Irish nationalist, who he befriends and who becomes his muse with some tragic consequences. Melville also has an encounter with an angel who challenges him to write a great novel. Upon his return to America, Melville takes up the angel’s challenge and produces the novel, which is of course Moby Dick. Melville is more a novella than a novel and is a lyrical read that offers insights into the inner conflicts of an artist. Melville is presented as a physical and robust individual who is more
comfortable in the clothes of a sailor than in the suit of a gentleman. Paul’s translation of Melville was a labour of love, taking two full years. The end result is both enjoyable and engaging and demonstrates why Giono was such a successful author. How Giono came to write Melville is a story in itself. Giono had worked on translating Moby Dick into French over a three-year period from 1936-1939. After completing the translation he was asked to write an introduction. After spending three years on the project he was reluctant to do so wanting to move on to other projects. However, his desire to see Melville’s major work, Moby Dick , become popular in
