"The Rural Roots concert series takes advantage of the stellar talent that we're able to bring to Goderich as a part of the Celtic College and Celtic Roots Festival, and presents spe- cial concerts in historic venues in smaller areas," said artistic director, Kate Johnston. "Many of the thousands of visitors to the area during Celtic week have the opportunity to experience more of the county, and the wonderful communities in it." Each Rural Roots concert is a partnership between the Celtic Roots Festival and a local non- profit community group. Pro- ceeds from each concert are split between the two groups.

Aug. 2 - Teeswater Town Hall Featured artist: Siobhan Miller Band (Scotland) Siobhan Miller is regarded as one the finest singers to emerge from Scotland's music scene over the last decade. Her soulful and stirring renewal of traditional song has seen her win the Scots Singer of the Year award twice at the Scots Trad Music Awards. She is also a recipient of a "BBC Young Folk Award" with Orkney's Jeana Leslie with whom she has released two greatly received albums. Miller began singing in public in her early teens. Since then, she has developed her style through collaborations and stud- ies with many of Scotland's top musicians. Aug. 3 - St Joseph's Kings- bridge Church, Goderich Featured artist: Bua (Ireland/ USA) Bua evokes the good times that Irish traditional music so often celebrates, playing in a manner largely forgotten in today's overly polished Irish music world. With a precision and intensity that is rarely heard on this side of the Atlantic, their sound stands out among mod- ern bands in the genre by keep- ing the music down the path of tradition while still being able to raise the rafters with their play- ing, charm with their singing, and delight with their contem- porary energy. Based in Chi- cago, Illinois—along-celebrated centre of Irish traditional music—Bua has established itself individually and as a group in the eyes and ears of the tradi- tional community.

Bob Trick, Huron County ani- mal control officer, said he has heard of the sightings, but has not been able to confirm whether or not there was a cou- gar in the area. Trick said he's not denying there is one, but he hasn't been able to find tracks and there's been no pictures of it, some- thing he expects with the availa- bility of cameras on cell phones. Trick said cougars eat meat, and so they are usually spotted where there's access to rabbits, goats, calves and other livestock. Cougars are tree animals, and they are nocturnal, so Trick is warning people to be conscious of their surroundings, especially after 9 p.m. In the meantime, Trick has set traps and is waiting to see if any- thing gets caught. About four years ago, a study was released that indicated the Canadian cougar population had made a comeback 100 years after the animal was hunted to near extinction. In Ontario, the cougar still has an "endangered" designation, according to the Ministry of Nat- ural Resources. The cougar (also known as a mountain lion or puma) is rarely seen by humans, and is Cana- da's largest wildcat. It has a long black -tipped tale and black markings on the ears a muzzle. In an effort to restock the shelves at The Salva- tion Army food bank and help serve the needs of local house- holds throughout the summer months, volun- teers and staff from the Clinton Salvation Army Community and Family Services will be holding a 'Christmas In July' food drive and BBQ at Foodland this upcoming Friday and Saturday. "We are calling this a Christmas in July Food Drive in a lighthearted way to rekindle the spirit of giving which is so evi- dent during the Christ- mas Season," com- mented Lieutenant David Hickman. The Salvation Army will be on site serving hotdogs and collecting food donations from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. both days. The most needed items at the moment are rice and other side dishes, canned fruit, family size juice, chil- dren's snacks and hygiene items for men and women such as shampoo, deodorant, toothbrushes and toothpaste.
