With attendance figures of close to 20,000, Betty Ann Martin, Secretary for the Sutton Agricultural Society is putting the 2006 Sutton Fair and Horse Show in the record books. “It was a great event and the best fair I can remember having,” she said. “Everyone you spoke to said the same thing.”

More than 30 singers, musicians and songwriters will converge on Pefferlaw to provide more than 40 hours of music and dance. Among the performers are some of Can-ada’s top names in acoustic music. The Arrogant Worms are Canada’s self pro-claimed “Clown Princes of Humour, Pur-veyors of the Absurd and Ambassadors of Fun. They find their roots in folk music and acoustic rock, though they borrow from Celtic, country, reggae, bluegrass, surf music and gospel. Their live per-formances have a reputation for high en-ergy, a playful atmosphere and unusual audience participation. Don Ross is internationally renowned and revered for his fingerstyle guitar playing. Don’s self-taught journey on guitar has resulted in an unclassifiable musical style that borrows from jazz, folk rock and classical music. He calls it “Heavy Wood”. Connie Kaldor is a Juno award winning singer-songwriter who has flourished on the folk music scene for over two dec-ades. From Beijing to New Delhi to Saskatoon to Washington, Connie’s fan base is broad and fiercely loyal. People come back to see her again and

again. A Connie Kaldor performance is legendary—a perfect mix of incredible songs, outstanding storytelling and a fiery wit. These are just three of the many perform-ers on the program for the Eaglewood Folk Festival that ranges from the 15 year old Jenica Hammatt to the 86 year-old Jackie Washington and every age in be-tween. New to the Festival is the all day Festival for Kids on Saturday, August 26. For only $20 ($25 at the gate) for a family, you and your family can enjoy the Arrogant Worms, Kirk and Magoo, Chris McKhool, Connie Kaldor, Jackie Wash-ington and the very special Red Ryzin Singers and Dancers from Georgina Is-land. For after hours fun, Liam Titcomb, Dig-ging Roots, Dave Hadfield and the Eagle-wood All-Stars will be at the Belvedere on Saturday, August 26 from 10:00 p.m. onward. The Eaglewood Festival gets underway on Friday, August 25 at 6:00 p.m. with the Georgina Community Drum Circle. Tickets are available for evening concerts, individual day passes or for the entire weekend. Camping is also available.

Sutton Fair and Horse Show was the “Best Ever”

August 24, 2006 Volume 2, Issue 16

— By Kevin Fullbrook

“The 151st Fair was a success again this year due to the hard work by all the volunteers and support from our sponsors,” said Fair Board president, Steve Wood. “The baby miniature horse that was only three days old was a hit and the parachutes that dropped in unexpectedly were quite a surprise for all of us,” he said. See full report and photos on pages 6 & 7.

I recently spent four days at the Sutton Fair and Horse Show and since I was covering the show for the Pefferlaw Post, I poked my nose into every nook and cranny of the show and here are some of the things I discovered. I found a 382 foot scarf in the arena craft exhibits. I took in the spelling bee and the scrab-ble competition. I had a man make me a piece of rope on a circa 1910 rope making ma-chine and I watched as Bob Wood cut up 3,500 board feet of wood on his 1930 sawmill. I watched Leanne Newman win the Georgina Idol competition in a field of extraordinary talent and I was present when Kayla Pegg was named Fair Ambassa-dor, again, against a field of incredibly composed and ar-ticulate competitors. I giggled when 5-year-old Braydon Thompson tried to lead his one month old calf around and allowed it to get away from him. And, I laughed hysterically at Peter Van Loan and Deputy Fire Chief Steve Richardson as they chocked down a lemon meringue pie in the Pie Eating Contest only to be beat out by Peter Jurias, the mayoralty candidate in the up-coming election. I proudly witnessed the incredi-ble talent of Ashley Hibbard who won the Talent Contest with her rendition of Proud Mary and I cheered as loudly as I could for home town favourite Chris Palmer as he pushed his competition out of contention in the Smash Up Derby. I stood in stunned silence while watching 17 year-old Kylie MacGillivray and her 14 year-old sister Camille, win the Car-riage Derby with a time of 160.13 and I was amazed by the skill and seat of Autumn Blanchard who received the highest points in the Beginner Class of the Junior Horse Show. And I cooed at the an-tics of the miniature 3-day-old horse in the mini barn.

But mostly I was humbled by the commitment, dedication and hard work of the dozens of volunteers that worked together to put this event on. Everywhere you went there was a volunteer selling tickets, tak-ing tickets, recording points, announcing events, checking electrical wiring, taking photos and handing out prizes. Their contribution to the success of the fair was enormous. According to Betty-Ann Mar-tin, the Fair Board Secretary, the 151st version of the Sutton Fair and Horse Show was the most successful ever—an ac-complishment for which every single volunteer can take pride. But once you peel away the fragile veneer of success, Ms. Martin cautions that without a major influx of fresh volunteer blood, the Sutton Fair and Horse Show as we know it, is at risk. Many of the current volun-teers have been working on the fair for years and they are ready to retire. So if you are commu-nity minded and want to get involved, give them a call. Karen Wolfe, Editor.

Scottish minister and wife cherished Wifrid exchange experience A chance meeting on a dedi-cated website to assist clergy in all aspects of serving the needs of their parishes led Church of Scotland Pastor Tom Moffatt and his wife Christina to ex-change roles with Wilfrid and Udora United Church Minister Kathryn McIntosh. The two clergy met electroni-cally one day when Rev. Mac-Intosh went look-ing for the words to a hymn which Pas-tor Mof-fatt who was lo-cated in Fife County in Scotland, happened to have. One thing led to another and before you knew it, both clergy were agreeing to an exchange program that would see each of them taking on the other’s role for a six week period. During their visit to Wilfrid, the couple stayed at the Manse in Wilfrid and travelled exten-sively to experience as much of Canada as the could. “We’ve driven to Niagara Falls, explored the Café Rhythm and Books in Cannington, went to Zehrs and Tim Hortons in Ux-bridge, spent a day in Toronto, visited the McMichael Gallery, attended the Collingwood Elvis Festival, purchased some First Nations craft in Rama, went to Midnight Summer Madness in

Beaverton, toured Jackson Triggs winery in Niagara on the Lake, went to the Sutton Fair and travelled to the Haliburton Forest to see the wolves,” Pastor Moffatt said.

“We have had a tum-bling wa-terfall of experi-ences,” Pastor Moffatt said, “and I am very glad we did it. Certainly we are both richer for it.” Before leaving, Pastor Moffatt reflected on the differ-ences in the

two countries and cultures and some of his experi-ences. “I noticed right away

that this is a very fertile country-side and I had never seen corn grow before because it is too cold in Scotland...I also noticed that all Canadians have the same accent and I found that astonish-ing because in Scotland you can tell where a Scot is from within 30 miles by his accent...I was told before I left that I would enjoy Canada because the peo-ple are friendly. That was a the-ory when I boarded the plane, but now it is a fact...The memo-ries I will take back with me are of the church folk who were so welcoming and accepting of a Scottish minister...My last ser-vice was quite tearful because in a short time I built up a close bond with the people here. I hope they will visit us,” he said.

In honour of adding Sutton to the masthead of the Pefferlaw Post, I am resurrecting an old newspaper favourite for this community—Cryderman’s Chronicles. This is a column that honours the memory of Minnie Cryder-man who penned a society column for Sutton residents for many years. If you would like to have an item appear in this column, please contact Ruth Reid at (905) 722-8200.)

At a recent private function at the Red Barn Theatre hosted by Roxanne Henderson of Royal LePage Timeless Realty and Fifeshire Estates, Elaine Bond was seen looking fantastic in a Joseph Ribkoff de-sign. She recently returned from a cruise to Alaska. At the Sutton Fair, Estelle LeMaire was seen with her grandchildren Camille and Mac. The children were having great fun on the rides. They were excited over the ribbons they won on the entries they took part in. The fair is wonderful for persons of all ages. Start planning now for next year. Nina Marsden recently returned from Fenelon Falls where she visited Elizabeth Draper at her cottage on Sturgeon Lake, a friend from childhood who was also a

bridesmaid at her wedding. They had a lovely time sharing memories of summer’s past. Congratulations to Pauline and Ray Moore on their 40th Anniversary. With their grandchildren Hannah and Liam and many guests to help celebrate, they had a lovely garden party and BBQ at their home on Catering Road. Among the guests were Barba and Dick Munro. Congratulations also to Valerie and Mal Ross of Old Mill Antiques in Sutton on the opening of thie new Gift Shop on High St. A new great place to shop or browse. The new production, Rock & Roll at the Red Barn is a great success and very pro-fessional. It was thoroughly enjoyed by Sally Schoentaube and Maureen Bushey of Sutton. Welcome to Captains Linda and Geof-frey Groves who have moved to Sutton from Thunder Bay to take over as Pastors of the Salvation Army Community Church of Georgina located in Jackson’s Point.

COME TO OUR

OPEN HOUSE!

Your Morning Smile… The children were lined up in a cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note that read: “Take only ONE. God is watching.” Moving further along the lunch line at the other end was a pile of chocolate chip cookies with a note one of the children had written: “Take all you want. God is watching the apples.”

Original resident looks back at Pefferlaw in the 30s & 40s The one thing Milt Christian knows a lot about is Pefferlaw. After all, he is one of the few people on the planet who has a birth certificate with the Place of Birth identified as “Pefferlaw”. Milt was born on September 3, 1930 in the Victorian-style house located beside the old Community Hall across from Kindness Automotive on Pefferlaw Road. He re-members when the tree that is used for the Tree Lighting Ceremony every Christmas was only two feet high and he remembers the apple orchard that grew across the road from it When he was around 10, his parents, Frank and Liza-Mae, purchased 52 acres from a

Mr. Harrison that took in lands on both sides of the Pefferlaw schoolhouse and the family built a home there. Milt and his wife Marg, still live on property that was originally attached to this 52-acre parcel. In those days, according to Milt, Pefferlaw was a thriving, self-sustaining community boasting a vibrant business community that included farmers, a logging industry, a saw mill, a grist mill, a planing mill, a shingle mill, a feed mill, stock yards, three general stores, a butcher shop, a telephone office, a restaurant and of course, the Belvedere Hotel. It was an economy powered by that of a firm handshake and a man’s word. “I have the original mortgage document for this property and it says my father was to pay $100 a year on the mortgage if he could afford it and if he didn’t have it, he could pay it when he got it,” said Milt. Then, when he contracted rheumatic fever and needed to have his tonsils out, he re-

members two doctors coming from Cannington to do the operation in his house and he recalls being nursed back to health by Mary Naylor (nee Johnston). “We couldn’t afford to pay them so they never charged anything,” he said. It was a society that was still dependant upon horses to travel short distances and as a matter of fact, there was a horse shed behind the church where members of the congrega-tion could tie up their horses

during the service. “The Pefferlaw Road was a gravel road and a lot of people still had horses to get around. I remem-ber that Charlie Greenwood would deliver the mail by horse in the summer and by cutter in the winter,” Milt said. He fondly de-scribes hitching a ride on the horse drawn farm wag-

ons being pulled through town to the mills at the bridge and then catching them again for a ride back home. A few little known facts that Milt re-lated about Pefferlaw in the 30s and 40s was the existence of a stock yard at the Pefferlaw Train Station and the pres-ence of an automotive parts manufac-turing plant located in a garage at Fred Hinchley’s

former home situated on the south side of Pefferlaw Road just west of Pete’s Lane. “They used to make the wooden frame-work for old General Motors cars (then known as McLaughlin Buicks) in Oshawa in the old garage at Hinchley’s,” he said. Social functions at the time included play-ing tennis on the tennis court beside the church, skating on a frozen pond at the “flats” located on the river behind Grace McEachren’s family home, participating in the Christmas market at the Community Hall where you could buy your holiday chicken, duck, turkey or goose and attend-ing church box socials. “You bid on a lunch and if you bought it, you got to sit with the girl who made it to eat the sandwiches,” Milt said. Ooooh! Those were the days!

The Bridges of “Pefferlaw County”... Editor’s Note: Last weekend I had a won-derful visit with Betty Thompson, the granddaughter of Rubin Hart. Mr. Hart originally settled on farmland that stretched from highway 48 south to Morn-ing Glory Rd. and encompassed both sides of the river with the exception of the Quinn lands. The farmhouse Mr. Hart built in the early 1900s still stands on the corner of

Riverbank Rd. and Highway 48. During our discussions, Mrs. Thompson showed me photos of the different bridges that crossed the Pefferlaw river at the same point where the current bridge stands now. With her permission, I scanned the photos and the comments on the reverse side of each photo. Photo 1. The original Pefferlaw River

bridge was a walking bridge only. Photo 2. Shows the construction of a “new” wooden bridge. Photo 3. A photo of the “new” wooden bridge completed that will allow horse and buggy traffic. Photo 4. Is a photo of the “new” completed concrete bridge that was so familiar to most Peffer-law residents before it was demolished to make room for the current overpass bridge.

CHARMING CENTURY HOME — $234,900!

In an effort to improve the overall health and integrity of the Cronsberry forest tract on Old Homestead Rd., York Re-gion lumber crews have been thinning and removing trees for

the past week. According to Ian Buchanan, the Manager of the Natural Heri-tage and Forestry Services for York Region, the harvesting activities are in keeping with a 20 year forestry management

plan that guides forestry opera-tions on the 2,200 hectares of York Region forests. “Our sector is responsible for 18 tracts of forests in York Re-gion and the Pefferlaw Tract is

the largest with 539 hectares of forest,” Mr. Buchanan said. The Cronsberry tract is 96 acres. “We have had crews remov-ing mostly white spruce from the Cronsberry tract for the past four weeks and these thinning activities are done to encourage better growth en-vironments for spruce trees,” Mr. Buchanan said. Called sustainable harvest-

ing, Mr. Buchanan says the activity provides an opportunity for forestry crews to take an inventory of trees and to look at how they can improve the for-est for users and wildlife.

The Brock Soccer Club held their end of the year Bar-B-Q and division playoffs on Saturday, August 19 on the soccer fields in Port Bolster. With 35 teams representing six divisions within the club, the day attracted more than 1,200 people and 560 play-ers. According to Darlene Jones, the Sponsor Director for the Club, the End of the Year BBQ and Play-offs is also the occa-sion when the players receive their pho-tos, awards and med-als.

The winning teams this year were: Adam Division: Buchner Manufacturing; Squirt Division: Beaverton Lions; PeeWee Division: Patterson’s Furniture; and High School Division: Gate-way Automation. Mini Tykes and Tykes are non-competitive divisions with no declared winners.

Two Mini Tyke teams scramble in front of the net during the End-of-Year BBQ and Playoffs.

Tennyson Tidbits

Congratulations to Broden James who came first in the 4-6 month category of the Baby Contest at the Sutton Fair. It appears Broden is following in big brother Dil-len’s footsteps.

A very Happy Birthday greeting is sent out to Camille Beaudrow who turned 81 on August 12, 2006. Camille celebrated with her family at her son’s home in Wilfrid.

Congratulations are due to new daddy Kevin Sarasin and new mommie Stephanie McBride. Son Jackson Sarasin was born two weeks premature and weighed in at 4lbs. 10 oz. New grandpar-ents are Dennis and Nancy McBride and Roy Sarasin.

Some residents may have noticed the setting of mos-

quito traps in the area and seen a few young people run-ning around with nets catch-ing mosquitoes. These are sure signs that the mosquito study is underway. You gotta wonder how representative the results will be given the fact that they are doing the study in August.

Our sincere condolences go out to the family of Casey Creber who recently lost his courageous battle with can-cer. Casey will be fondly remembered as a master ice fishing guide and long-time businessman in Port Bolster.

Congratulations to Nancy and Albert Henderson. A little birdie told me they are going to be first-time grand-parents in December.

Valhalla Travel & Tours relocates from Richmond Hill to Pefferlaw 11

With more than 20 years experience in the travel business, fourteen of them as the pro-prietor of his own business, Jens Sondrup, his wife Birgit and son John have pulled up the stakes on their office in Richmond Hill and moved the business, lock, stock and barrel to Pefferlaw. The Sondrups own Valhalla Travel and Tours and when they moved from Denmark in 1982, they settled in Pefferlaw and began working in the travel industry. In 1992, Jens and Birgit struck out on their own and founded Valhalla Travel and Tours in Rich-mond Hill where they built the business up

to include 15 employees and agent repre-sentatives.

Valhalla Travel and Tours specializes in both the wholesale and retail ends of the travel business. Their wholesale specialty is Scandinavian travel where they sell pack-aged tours to Finland, Denmark and Swe-den to other travel agents. From a retail perspective, Valhalla Tours handles all kinds of travel and as a full-service, licensed travel agency, they work for all airlines and cruise lines and offer travel protected by the compensation fund offered by the Travel Industry Council of Ontario. “We have brochures in our offices here for destinations all over the world—from golf-ing in Thailand to all-inclusives in Cuba—and if we haven’t got it we can get it,” said Jens Sondrup. According to son John, the advancements in computer technology have had a huge im-pact on the travel industry. While they have given the public personal access to airline tickets, they have also allowed the Son-drups to relocate to Pefferlaw since the travel agents working for them can now process the customer’s travel arrangements from remote locations. “Internet travel tickets are having an impact but custom service is our competitive ad-vantage,” said John Sondrup. “We do a lot of specialized stuff, stuff that you can’t book on the internet.” A large part of the their business is putting hockey tournaments together for amateur teams in Scandinavia. “The attraction for them is Canadian hockey and we find tour-naments for them and put together a tourna-ment hockey exchange tour for them,” Jens Sondrup said. Now that they have their business firmly entrenched in Pefferlaw, they are eager to let the community know they are here. They have planned an Open House on September 7 from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. “Everyone is wel-come to come and meet and greet the staff,” said Jens.
