> Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, Wednesday, June 10,1992 by Peter T. Sum Someone must have frightened him otherwise Scuffer wouldn't run wild for a good 10 minutes before he was captured, wrestled to the ground and carried away spread-eagle-style by a group of tcenaged boys. The two-year-old pig is a member of McQuaid's Petting Zoo that provides provides fairs, carnivals, picnics and publicity publicity events with "gentle animals." The Vietnamese pot belly pig and some other members of the zoo - one horse, one pony, one goat, two baby goats, some rabbits, chickens, baby chicks, ducks and geese - had just completed completed their day's "work" at Courlice Carnival last Saturday afternoon when he bolted. Scruffcr snorted when manhandled by the laughing and panting boys but once in his cozy little cage aboard the mobile zoo, which in reality was a trailer, he uttered half a dozen oinks and appeared to be satisfied with his own surroundings. Hundreds of little hands touched and patted Scruffcr and his colleagues and hundreds of children rode on the horse and the pony during the four hours the zoo was in place at the carnival carnival pn the grounds of Courtice Secondary Secondary School on Nash Rd. north of Highway 2. ' The annual event was organized by Courtice & Area Community Association Association with the aim of enlarging its construction construction fund for a projected community community centre a stone's throw away from the school. Rusty McQuaid of Solina Rd., who operated the zoo, said of the carnival; "I',vc done a lot of travelling with my zoo, this carnival is top of the line." Four members of the fire department department of the Town of Newcastle were among those who contributed towards making this year's carnival "top of the line." They were firefighters Don Chambers, Scott Wood and Frank Aze- vedo (all of Courtice) and the town's fire prevention officer, Randy Reinert. . Chambers picked up a pumper from Orono early Saturday, drove it to Bow- manville to pickup Danelle - a miniature miniature Fire Safety House - and delivered them to the carnival. Wood and Azevedo took turns to familiarize gawking camival-goers - children as well as adults - with the pumper truck, its equipment and its role in fire-fighting. Reinert led tours of the two-story miniature safety house, pointing out fire prevention devices, passing out fire prevention and safety pamphlets and answered a thousand and one ques lions on fire prevention and safety. From time to time, smoke appeared on the second floor of the house, followed followed by a whining warning signal and visitors were led out of the house. About 15 metres away a brightly coloured inflatable pouncer had hundreds hundreds of small children screaming with delight as they bounced themselves up and down the nine-foot high blue, red and yellow bouncer. At the far end of the carnival grounds a hot-air balloon delighted hundreds of camival -goers - both children children and adults - with rides ascending to an altitude of 40 feet. Larry Hannah and his Studio 1 Quintet made sweet and nostalgic music music for an estimated 5,000 camival- goers despite the "touch-and-go" threatening weather condition that held and) slowly improved as the carnival progressed. Hannah is the Town's Ward 1, which includes Courtice, regional councillor. The music makers shared the Main Stage at various intervals with dancers from The Theatre Dance Academy - owned by Courtice resident Barb Sza- bunia - and with children's singer Marianne Marianne Buckly, formerly of Courtice.

There were stalls of vendors selling crafts, baked goods among other things as well as stalls representing various business and volunteer groups. In a few weeks' time Courtice will have a permanent flea market on the grounds of a local business that began in 1931. Henry's Do-It Centre closed its Bloor St. outlet last year, 60 years after Cecil Found of Courtice set up the same locale a modest business which "was more manufacturing than retail related." For a" while the property was put up for sale but there was no buyer. Randy Henry, president of Henry's, says his company has decided to turn the 10-acre property into a flea market and has applied for the necessary building permit to renovate the premises. premises. Henry said last week that the flea market could be in place either in the first or second week of July.
