After the great time I had with the boys from the Caen Unit of CAV I got up and headed out alone into Yorkton I stopped in to meet Rick Dawson of Harley-Davidson of Yorkton I had heard so many great things about this man that I just had to stop in
The reports of his community minded spirit and the dedication to customer service that this man and his employees exemplify were not exaggerated Although the shop is small they offer everything that any other dealer does and because of their commitment to customer service they are well loved by all who stop in
After leaving the dealership I headed out on the Trans Canada to Winnipeg where on the outer edge of town at the Flying J three guys from the Tri-Service Veterans met me
We discussed the fact that my bike was not running well and that I wanted to pick up an extra quart of Amsoil Synthetic to have in my
saddle bags just to be safe After a coffee we rode to one of the after market shops but the gent only had a full 4-liter jug on hand
One of the guys took some money I gave him and he headed off to Canadian Tire to grab a litre and would hook back up with us at the Canad Inns Destination Centre Windsor Park in Winnipeg where our fundraiserawareness ride would be leaving from
The rest of us headed off to the hotel where I checked in and off loaded some of my gear

and headed back to the parking lot to greet the riders who came out
The CMC was there in full force and Stumpy graciously agreed to be our ride captain
What a great bunch of people
Sparkle gifted me with a heart shaped pendant that she had made telling me she thought it was a fitting gift ndash a big heart for a big heart I was almost in tears
One of the guys from the Tri Service Veterans handled the registrations while I was gabbing with the riders and getting photos of them with Rita We call him Mack
The ride we took saw us go out to a favorite hangout for the riders
Skinners They serve up the most incredible hot dogs and donrsquot mind boasting about it Of course I had to take them up on their taste
challenge and oh my the hot dogs ARE amazing
The ride out there was so pretty and the ride back was just as gorgeous It always amazes me how local riders take the beauty of where they live for granted It was a common theme as I would find out Everywhere I went riders would tell me how they have taken their locations for granted until they see it through the eyes of a visitor like myself

Our ride ended up at the Tim Hortonrsquos where I got some time to interview Bruce Godin AKA Stumpy from the CMC Road Captain CMC 023 Winnipeg and Leigh Mackinnon ndash Tri-Service Veterans
Rita had her photo taken with all sorts of riders we shared a ton of giggles and pretty soon it was time for this girl to hit the hay

Stumpy and his wife rode me over to the hotel so I wouldnrsquot get lost and we talked about the Winnipeg riding community and how fractured it is It appears that this too is common in the riding community Everyone thinks they are different in that department but I am here to tell you that right across this country riding clubs and events suffer from the same type of disconnect from each other
We said our goodbyes and promised to keep in touch I will be doing my part to ensure communications stay on track
In the morning I headed of to Thunder Bay I decided to bypass Dryden and head straight to my friends Dave and Violet Alderdicersquos place in Kakabeka Falls After 7 and a half hours in the saddle I was glad to arrive
As much as I love riding my bike at the end of every day it sure feels good to stop and sit on something that is not moving
I am not sure about you but I find that I have such a rush happening that it can take me 2-3 hours to settle down after a good day in the saddle
Our ride in Thunder Bay started off from the Tim Hortonrsquos on Balmoral Street ndash the same place we would a host a ride on our way backhellip
For this ride Dave agreed to be our ride captain and I am so glad One of the things I find about really good road captains is they know how to pick a speed and stay there as

much as traffic and road conditions will allow for and there is no one better at consistency in his speed than Dave
Somewhere 22 bikes and their riders and passengers (31) were present It was going to be a great ride out to the ice cream stand in Kakabeka Itrsquos one of the rides that pretty much every riding club in this region takes for their weekly ride nights They do this ride several times through out the season and I fully understand why Filled with wonderful curves rolling hills and pastoral farmland the scenery is deeply pleasing to the senses
The added bonus is WONDERFUL CREAMY soft ice cream at the end of the ride shared with good friends and companions
I was blessed to meet some fantastic people from the local HOG chapter and to get to interview them Yoursquoll have to watch Ride Like a Local on Easlink TV (You can view it through Video on Demand on their web site too) or wait until the DVDrsquos of the show come out for sale hopefully in December
We raised $315 for our cause and I spoke to
those present about why I was riding how our veterans have lost their pensions how our government is trying to quash a class action lawsuit that veterans in BC have mounted called Equitas ndash their goal to see pensions re-instated I spoke to them about how the

RCMP are now in the same boat as our veterans as of this fiscal budget they too have lost their pensions I urged them all to write their MLArsquos and MPrsquos We need this discussion to happen on both Provincial and Federal levels
When I was done my talk we just hung out for a while and enjoyed each others company
and talked about the Thunder Bay riding community and how disconnected the clubs were from each otherhmmm where have I heard that before
Violet Dave and I headed back to their place Our ride back was considerably shorter than for those who rode out from Thunder Bay
It was a wonderful evening and I was looking forward to our next ride in Thunder Bay which would take place on my return trip
I want to thank Dave and Violet for their friendship and support ndash I love you guys Staying at their place was like being at home and it felt wonderful after so many nights in hotel and motel rooms
Next stop Midland and after that Kingston and then my time in the gorgeous province of New Brunswick and man have I got stories to share from there

Kamloops Toy Run
Kamloops Downtown Kiwanis Club and local riders kicked off their 12th annual toy run on September 8th 2013
The downtown Kiwanis have been involved for 12 years organizing the toy run I spoke to Roger Parkes today and he is very thankful for the local RCMP and auxiliary police who have always been here to support the ride
We started the morning off with a pancake breakfast at 9 am at Aberdeen malls auxiliary parking lot at the south side of hillside drive This was followed by a showrsquo nrsquo shine which began at 11 am and went till 1230 pm There was a 5050 prize went to a father and son team Chris Gelling and Joe Gelling
We had 135 to 140 riders according to Roger Parkes Local volunteer outriders and local RCMP did a great job of keeping all participants safe and kickstands were up 1230 pm
This was a city wide toy run starting at Aberdeen mall to upper Sahali then to downtown core then out to Valleyveiw Drive
and then back through downtown Kamloops and over to Northshore down Fortune Drive to Westside Road with a break long enough to have some nice cold water provided by Kiwanis
Kickstands were down for ten minutes then off we rode down Tranquille Road towards airport and then finally back to Aberdeen Mall
Sally Whitson of Christmas Amalgamated was at our last stop smiling and accepting monetary donations and gifts Speaking to her she told me the Toy runs have been happening for 30 years

Well I have to say itrsquos been quite a summer I got out to a whole ton of fun events did a lot of riding for charity enjoyed time with my VRAC buddies and put a fair number of miles on the bike Up until last week I also was busy planning
to make the trek across the pond along with Belt Drive Betty to tour Ireland for a couple of weeks and that was going to be a lot of funhellip but I screwed up
Along with riding I also started playing bass again and so I figured that the pain I was feeling in my hands and forearms was due to that activity which I havenrsquot done much of for seven or eight years
So I noticed on longer rides that I was having some numbness and by the end of 4-5 hours in the saddle it was getting tough to use the front brake Not good obviously and Irsquove had carpal tunnel syndrome for years and know the signs so I decided I better put the bass down and ease up on the longer rides so I could be rested for Ireland Thatrsquos when the world went sideways because it just kept getting worse So I contacted the appropriate Doctor and discovered that my long dormant (and nearly forgotten) carpal had flared up Irsquod let it go too long and now wersquore into some serious issues
The long and the short here is that I ignored
the messages I was getting and now Irsquove screwed up my arm to the point where Belt Drive Betty is forced to look for another riding partner I have to miss out on an amazing trip and Irsquom pretty much parked for the rest of the year and enjoying acupuncture with electrical stimulation SO FUN
What Irsquom getting at here is that we often forget in the heat of the moment or the joy of riding that we have to watch out for our health while wersquore out there Not only the obvious things like muscle strains sunburn and bug bites but some of the less obvious too
On longer trips itrsquos important to pack a supply of water because not only is dehydration VERY bad for your health it causes muscle cramps and headaches both of which are detrimental to your riding skills If yoursquore on any kind of prescriptions you should take a dayrsquos supply (at least) along with you just in case you break down or get trapped by weather and canrsquot get home to your meds
For those who have diabetes keeping hydrated is a massive part of controlling blood sugars and making sure that you have meds and snacks along can literally be a lifesaver
Speaking of chronic conditions if you are a Medic Alert wearer or such thing make sure you have it along that your riding buddies know your conditions (NOT just your passenger if you have one if you go down they may not be able to speak for you) and that they know where to find an information card or braceletdogtag Make sure any such
alert devices and cards are kept up to date as well and list any and all meds yoursquore on Emergency info devices that attach to your helmet are also available if yoursquore interested you can check those out as well
Beyond all that you also need to make sure that yoursquore rested before attempting a long ride that yoursquore ready and able for the trip and that you be realistic about your health and if you cannot safely ride tell your buddies and back out I think theyrsquod rather have you alive and riding next time than take a chance on your life and those around you

In the end itrsquos my own lack of attention that cost me a trip to Ireland and created a huge concern for Belt Drive Betty and I apologize to her for that No it wasnrsquot something Irsquove had to deal with lately and the severity is a surprise but if Irsquod been more conscious of what was happening I might have avoided all this and been able to hoist a REAL Kilkenny IN Kilkenny
So ride safe ride long and ride healthy Renee I will be thinking of you on that trip and sending positive thoughts the whole time

Wardlow AB The 26th Annual Crowsnest Cross Country hosted by the Brooks Motorcycle Club and organized by CGRT sponsor David French of AampE Racing ran on the Labour Day long weekend
Sadly CGRT was not able to be represented as first year pro Ryan Linderman was still healing from a broken bone in his hand that required surgery in early August Shane Cuthbertson who has won this event numerous times suffered from an infection in his elbow and spent the weekend at home on IV antibiotics
Carrying the CGRT torch was Victoria
Hett who tested her fitness and stamina by competing in the Night Rooster and the Big Rooster both events hosted by the Pentictoin Off Road Motorcycle Club The Night Rooster is a 25 hour hare scrambles starting at 8pm
requiring lights and a deep volume of heart Victoria setup with a helmet light and a light bar grabbed the holeshot and rode into the night with the pack in tow She succumbed to pressure during the first lap and was passed but maintained her second place to the finish Drama did not
escape Victoria however as during her last lap her front brake line failed Fortunately the gap to third was sufficient for her to make it to the finish without further incident in second place Once she replaced her brake line and maintained her Valley Motosports Husaberg TE 250 Victoria lined up for the day race the Big Rooster Victoria started in fifth rode hard for over 3 hours and finished just behind her starting position in 6th
Normally battling for the lead the 25 hour event from the night before took its toll on Victoriarsquos energy levels for the day event It was a great effort from Victoria to maintain her 3 position in the series with 4 events left

2012 UEM Superbike Twin Champion Nate Gagnon can now add the 2013 Screamin Eagle Top Fuel Championship to his resume
Arriving at the Canadian Motorcycle Drag Racing Association Season Finals presented by Blackjacks Roadhouse at Edmontons Castrol Raceway Gagnon held a narrow lead over reigning Top Fuel Champion Damian Cownden in the season standings leaving the title up for grabs during the September 7th and 8th event Despite losing to ASB Racings Mike Pelrine in the final elimination round Gagnon and his Big Kids Racing Team secured the season championship by defeating Cownden in the semi finals
Al Miles wrapped up a perfect season in the Screaminrsquo Eagle Pro Dragster division when mechanical issues kept number one qualifier Doug Casson from racing Miles in the final The accomplishments of Milesrsquo FFR Racing Team were recognized at the yearend banquet
where Miles received the Dennis Mark Memorial Award for Outstanding Achievement Long time FFR crew chief Jerry Gordon was the recipient of the Wrench of the Year award as well as the Trev Deeley Memorial Award recognizing Contribution amp Dedication to Canadian Motorcycle Drag Racing

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

There is often an annual provincial rally and like this year (just last weekend) a bi-annual event that hosted over 200 lady riders from
across Canada and the USA in Kannaskis AB at a first class eventconference Membership within WITW does not have to be exclusive you can belong to other riding groups and clubs as well If there are enough women who are interested in finding out how this would work whatrsquos involved etchellip we will set a date to connect over coffeedrinks and discuss Expressing interest by no means commits you to joining the club The Saskatoon chapter strongly supports the creation of a Regina chapter and would help us get things rolling If you are a lady and you ride and you have interest in finding out more please email me with your name and phone number and should we get enough interest I will let you know the date to connect Gentleman if you know a lady rider that you think may be interested please pass this along

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Dover to collect toys for children in military families
Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

and headed back to the parking lot to greet the riders who came out
The CMC was there in full force and Stumpy graciously agreed to be our ride captain
What a great bunch of people
Sparkle gifted me with a heart shaped pendant that she had made telling me she thought it was a fitting gift ndash a big heart for a big heart I was almost in tears
One of the guys from the Tri Service Veterans handled the registrations while I was gabbing with the riders and getting photos of them with Rita We call him Mack
The ride we took saw us go out to a favorite hangout for the riders
Skinners They serve up the most incredible hot dogs and donrsquot mind boasting about it Of course I had to take them up on their taste
challenge and oh my the hot dogs ARE amazing
The ride out there was so pretty and the ride back was just as gorgeous It always amazes me how local riders take the beauty of where they live for granted It was a common theme as I would find out Everywhere I went riders would tell me how they have taken their locations for granted until they see it through the eyes of a visitor like myself

Our ride ended up at the Tim Hortonrsquos where I got some time to interview Bruce Godin AKA Stumpy from the CMC Road Captain CMC 023 Winnipeg and Leigh Mackinnon ndash Tri-Service Veterans
Rita had her photo taken with all sorts of riders we shared a ton of giggles and pretty soon it was time for this girl to hit the hay

Stumpy and his wife rode me over to the hotel so I wouldnrsquot get lost and we talked about the Winnipeg riding community and how fractured it is It appears that this too is common in the riding community Everyone thinks they are different in that department but I am here to tell you that right across this country riding clubs and events suffer from the same type of disconnect from each other
We said our goodbyes and promised to keep in touch I will be doing my part to ensure communications stay on track
In the morning I headed of to Thunder Bay I decided to bypass Dryden and head straight to my friends Dave and Violet Alderdicersquos place in Kakabeka Falls After 7 and a half hours in the saddle I was glad to arrive
As much as I love riding my bike at the end of every day it sure feels good to stop and sit on something that is not moving
I am not sure about you but I find that I have such a rush happening that it can take me 2-3 hours to settle down after a good day in the saddle
Our ride in Thunder Bay started off from the Tim Hortonrsquos on Balmoral Street ndash the same place we would a host a ride on our way backhellip
For this ride Dave agreed to be our ride captain and I am so glad One of the things I find about really good road captains is they know how to pick a speed and stay there as

much as traffic and road conditions will allow for and there is no one better at consistency in his speed than Dave
Somewhere 22 bikes and their riders and passengers (31) were present It was going to be a great ride out to the ice cream stand in Kakabeka Itrsquos one of the rides that pretty much every riding club in this region takes for their weekly ride nights They do this ride several times through out the season and I fully understand why Filled with wonderful curves rolling hills and pastoral farmland the scenery is deeply pleasing to the senses
The added bonus is WONDERFUL CREAMY soft ice cream at the end of the ride shared with good friends and companions
I was blessed to meet some fantastic people from the local HOG chapter and to get to interview them Yoursquoll have to watch Ride Like a Local on Easlink TV (You can view it through Video on Demand on their web site too) or wait until the DVDrsquos of the show come out for sale hopefully in December
We raised $315 for our cause and I spoke to
those present about why I was riding how our veterans have lost their pensions how our government is trying to quash a class action lawsuit that veterans in BC have mounted called Equitas ndash their goal to see pensions re-instated I spoke to them about how the

RCMP are now in the same boat as our veterans as of this fiscal budget they too have lost their pensions I urged them all to write their MLArsquos and MPrsquos We need this discussion to happen on both Provincial and Federal levels
When I was done my talk we just hung out for a while and enjoyed each others company
and talked about the Thunder Bay riding community and how disconnected the clubs were from each otherhmmm where have I heard that before
Violet Dave and I headed back to their place Our ride back was considerably shorter than for those who rode out from Thunder Bay
It was a wonderful evening and I was looking forward to our next ride in Thunder Bay which would take place on my return trip
I want to thank Dave and Violet for their friendship and support ndash I love you guys Staying at their place was like being at home and it felt wonderful after so many nights in hotel and motel rooms
Next stop Midland and after that Kingston and then my time in the gorgeous province of New Brunswick and man have I got stories to share from there

Kamloops Toy Run
Kamloops Downtown Kiwanis Club and local riders kicked off their 12th annual toy run on September 8th 2013
The downtown Kiwanis have been involved for 12 years organizing the toy run I spoke to Roger Parkes today and he is very thankful for the local RCMP and auxiliary police who have always been here to support the ride
We started the morning off with a pancake breakfast at 9 am at Aberdeen malls auxiliary parking lot at the south side of hillside drive This was followed by a showrsquo nrsquo shine which began at 11 am and went till 1230 pm There was a 5050 prize went to a father and son team Chris Gelling and Joe Gelling
We had 135 to 140 riders according to Roger Parkes Local volunteer outriders and local RCMP did a great job of keeping all participants safe and kickstands were up 1230 pm
This was a city wide toy run starting at Aberdeen mall to upper Sahali then to downtown core then out to Valleyveiw Drive
and then back through downtown Kamloops and over to Northshore down Fortune Drive to Westside Road with a break long enough to have some nice cold water provided by Kiwanis
Kickstands were down for ten minutes then off we rode down Tranquille Road towards airport and then finally back to Aberdeen Mall
Sally Whitson of Christmas Amalgamated was at our last stop smiling and accepting monetary donations and gifts Speaking to her she told me the Toy runs have been happening for 30 years

Well I have to say itrsquos been quite a summer I got out to a whole ton of fun events did a lot of riding for charity enjoyed time with my VRAC buddies and put a fair number of miles on the bike Up until last week I also was busy planning
to make the trek across the pond along with Belt Drive Betty to tour Ireland for a couple of weeks and that was going to be a lot of funhellip but I screwed up
Along with riding I also started playing bass again and so I figured that the pain I was feeling in my hands and forearms was due to that activity which I havenrsquot done much of for seven or eight years
So I noticed on longer rides that I was having some numbness and by the end of 4-5 hours in the saddle it was getting tough to use the front brake Not good obviously and Irsquove had carpal tunnel syndrome for years and know the signs so I decided I better put the bass down and ease up on the longer rides so I could be rested for Ireland Thatrsquos when the world went sideways because it just kept getting worse So I contacted the appropriate Doctor and discovered that my long dormant (and nearly forgotten) carpal had flared up Irsquod let it go too long and now wersquore into some serious issues
The long and the short here is that I ignored
the messages I was getting and now Irsquove screwed up my arm to the point where Belt Drive Betty is forced to look for another riding partner I have to miss out on an amazing trip and Irsquom pretty much parked for the rest of the year and enjoying acupuncture with electrical stimulation SO FUN
What Irsquom getting at here is that we often forget in the heat of the moment or the joy of riding that we have to watch out for our health while wersquore out there Not only the obvious things like muscle strains sunburn and bug bites but some of the less obvious too
On longer trips itrsquos important to pack a supply of water because not only is dehydration VERY bad for your health it causes muscle cramps and headaches both of which are detrimental to your riding skills If yoursquore on any kind of prescriptions you should take a dayrsquos supply (at least) along with you just in case you break down or get trapped by weather and canrsquot get home to your meds
For those who have diabetes keeping hydrated is a massive part of controlling blood sugars and making sure that you have meds and snacks along can literally be a lifesaver
Speaking of chronic conditions if you are a Medic Alert wearer or such thing make sure you have it along that your riding buddies know your conditions (NOT just your passenger if you have one if you go down they may not be able to speak for you) and that they know where to find an information card or braceletdogtag Make sure any such
alert devices and cards are kept up to date as well and list any and all meds yoursquore on Emergency info devices that attach to your helmet are also available if yoursquore interested you can check those out as well
Beyond all that you also need to make sure that yoursquore rested before attempting a long ride that yoursquore ready and able for the trip and that you be realistic about your health and if you cannot safely ride tell your buddies and back out I think theyrsquod rather have you alive and riding next time than take a chance on your life and those around you

In the end itrsquos my own lack of attention that cost me a trip to Ireland and created a huge concern for Belt Drive Betty and I apologize to her for that No it wasnrsquot something Irsquove had to deal with lately and the severity is a surprise but if Irsquod been more conscious of what was happening I might have avoided all this and been able to hoist a REAL Kilkenny IN Kilkenny
So ride safe ride long and ride healthy Renee I will be thinking of you on that trip and sending positive thoughts the whole time

Wardlow AB The 26th Annual Crowsnest Cross Country hosted by the Brooks Motorcycle Club and organized by CGRT sponsor David French of AampE Racing ran on the Labour Day long weekend
Sadly CGRT was not able to be represented as first year pro Ryan Linderman was still healing from a broken bone in his hand that required surgery in early August Shane Cuthbertson who has won this event numerous times suffered from an infection in his elbow and spent the weekend at home on IV antibiotics
Carrying the CGRT torch was Victoria
Hett who tested her fitness and stamina by competing in the Night Rooster and the Big Rooster both events hosted by the Pentictoin Off Road Motorcycle Club The Night Rooster is a 25 hour hare scrambles starting at 8pm
requiring lights and a deep volume of heart Victoria setup with a helmet light and a light bar grabbed the holeshot and rode into the night with the pack in tow She succumbed to pressure during the first lap and was passed but maintained her second place to the finish Drama did not
escape Victoria however as during her last lap her front brake line failed Fortunately the gap to third was sufficient for her to make it to the finish without further incident in second place Once she replaced her brake line and maintained her Valley Motosports Husaberg TE 250 Victoria lined up for the day race the Big Rooster Victoria started in fifth rode hard for over 3 hours and finished just behind her starting position in 6th
Normally battling for the lead the 25 hour event from the night before took its toll on Victoriarsquos energy levels for the day event It was a great effort from Victoria to maintain her 3 position in the series with 4 events left

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

across Canada and the USA in Kannaskis AB at a first class eventconference Membership within WITW does not have to be exclusive you can belong to other riding groups and clubs as well If there are enough women who are interested in finding out how this would work whatrsquos involved etchellip we will set a date to connect over coffeedrinks and discuss Expressing interest by no means commits you to joining the club The Saskatoon chapter strongly supports the creation of a Regina chapter and would help us get things rolling If you are a lady and you ride and you have interest in finding out more please email me with your name and phone number and should we get enough interest I will let you know the date to connect Gentleman if you know a lady rider that you think may be interested please pass this along

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest
The Busted Knuckle Chronicles September 19 2013 Page 47International News amp ON Events
Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Our ride ended up at the Tim Hortonrsquos where I got some time to interview Bruce Godin AKA Stumpy from the CMC Road Captain CMC 023 Winnipeg and Leigh Mackinnon ndash Tri-Service Veterans
Rita had her photo taken with all sorts of riders we shared a ton of giggles and pretty soon it was time for this girl to hit the hay
Conga amp BC EventsThe Busted Knuckle Chronicles September 19 2013 Page 3
Continued on Next Page
Stumpy and his wife rode me over to the hotel so I wouldnrsquot get lost and we talked about the Winnipeg riding community and how fractured it is It appears that this too is common in the riding community Everyone thinks they are different in that department but I am here to tell you that right across this country riding clubs and events suffer from the same type of disconnect from each other
We said our goodbyes and promised to keep in touch I will be doing my part to ensure communications stay on track
In the morning I headed of to Thunder Bay I decided to bypass Dryden and head straight to my friends Dave and Violet Alderdicersquos place in Kakabeka Falls After 7 and a half hours in the saddle I was glad to arrive
As much as I love riding my bike at the end of every day it sure feels good to stop and sit on something that is not moving
I am not sure about you but I find that I have such a rush happening that it can take me 2-3 hours to settle down after a good day in the saddle
Our ride in Thunder Bay started off from the Tim Hortonrsquos on Balmoral Street ndash the same place we would a host a ride on our way backhellip
For this ride Dave agreed to be our ride captain and I am so glad One of the things I find about really good road captains is they know how to pick a speed and stay there as

much as traffic and road conditions will allow for and there is no one better at consistency in his speed than Dave
Somewhere 22 bikes and their riders and passengers (31) were present It was going to be a great ride out to the ice cream stand in Kakabeka Itrsquos one of the rides that pretty much every riding club in this region takes for their weekly ride nights They do this ride several times through out the season and I fully understand why Filled with wonderful curves rolling hills and pastoral farmland the scenery is deeply pleasing to the senses
The added bonus is WONDERFUL CREAMY soft ice cream at the end of the ride shared with good friends and companions
I was blessed to meet some fantastic people from the local HOG chapter and to get to interview them Yoursquoll have to watch Ride Like a Local on Easlink TV (You can view it through Video on Demand on their web site too) or wait until the DVDrsquos of the show come out for sale hopefully in December
We raised $315 for our cause and I spoke to
those present about why I was riding how our veterans have lost their pensions how our government is trying to quash a class action lawsuit that veterans in BC have mounted called Equitas ndash their goal to see pensions re-instated I spoke to them about how the

RCMP are now in the same boat as our veterans as of this fiscal budget they too have lost their pensions I urged them all to write their MLArsquos and MPrsquos We need this discussion to happen on both Provincial and Federal levels
When I was done my talk we just hung out for a while and enjoyed each others company
and talked about the Thunder Bay riding community and how disconnected the clubs were from each otherhmmm where have I heard that before
Violet Dave and I headed back to their place Our ride back was considerably shorter than for those who rode out from Thunder Bay
It was a wonderful evening and I was looking forward to our next ride in Thunder Bay which would take place on my return trip
I want to thank Dave and Violet for their friendship and support ndash I love you guys Staying at their place was like being at home and it felt wonderful after so many nights in hotel and motel rooms
Next stop Midland and after that Kingston and then my time in the gorgeous province of New Brunswick and man have I got stories to share from there

Kamloops Toy Run
Kamloops Downtown Kiwanis Club and local riders kicked off their 12th annual toy run on September 8th 2013
The downtown Kiwanis have been involved for 12 years organizing the toy run I spoke to Roger Parkes today and he is very thankful for the local RCMP and auxiliary police who have always been here to support the ride
We started the morning off with a pancake breakfast at 9 am at Aberdeen malls auxiliary parking lot at the south side of hillside drive This was followed by a showrsquo nrsquo shine which began at 11 am and went till 1230 pm There was a 5050 prize went to a father and son team Chris Gelling and Joe Gelling
We had 135 to 140 riders according to Roger Parkes Local volunteer outriders and local RCMP did a great job of keeping all participants safe and kickstands were up 1230 pm
This was a city wide toy run starting at Aberdeen mall to upper Sahali then to downtown core then out to Valleyveiw Drive
and then back through downtown Kamloops and over to Northshore down Fortune Drive to Westside Road with a break long enough to have some nice cold water provided by Kiwanis
Kickstands were down for ten minutes then off we rode down Tranquille Road towards airport and then finally back to Aberdeen Mall
Sally Whitson of Christmas Amalgamated was at our last stop smiling and accepting monetary donations and gifts Speaking to her she told me the Toy runs have been happening for 30 years

Well I have to say itrsquos been quite a summer I got out to a whole ton of fun events did a lot of riding for charity enjoyed time with my VRAC buddies and put a fair number of miles on the bike Up until last week I also was busy planning
to make the trek across the pond along with Belt Drive Betty to tour Ireland for a couple of weeks and that was going to be a lot of funhellip but I screwed up
Along with riding I also started playing bass again and so I figured that the pain I was feeling in my hands and forearms was due to that activity which I havenrsquot done much of for seven or eight years
So I noticed on longer rides that I was having some numbness and by the end of 4-5 hours in the saddle it was getting tough to use the front brake Not good obviously and Irsquove had carpal tunnel syndrome for years and know the signs so I decided I better put the bass down and ease up on the longer rides so I could be rested for Ireland Thatrsquos when the world went sideways because it just kept getting worse So I contacted the appropriate Doctor and discovered that my long dormant (and nearly forgotten) carpal had flared up Irsquod let it go too long and now wersquore into some serious issues
The long and the short here is that I ignored
the messages I was getting and now Irsquove screwed up my arm to the point where Belt Drive Betty is forced to look for another riding partner I have to miss out on an amazing trip and Irsquom pretty much parked for the rest of the year and enjoying acupuncture with electrical stimulation SO FUN
What Irsquom getting at here is that we often forget in the heat of the moment or the joy of riding that we have to watch out for our health while wersquore out there Not only the obvious things like muscle strains sunburn and bug bites but some of the less obvious too
On longer trips itrsquos important to pack a supply of water because not only is dehydration VERY bad for your health it causes muscle cramps and headaches both of which are detrimental to your riding skills If yoursquore on any kind of prescriptions you should take a dayrsquos supply (at least) along with you just in case you break down or get trapped by weather and canrsquot get home to your meds
For those who have diabetes keeping hydrated is a massive part of controlling blood sugars and making sure that you have meds and snacks along can literally be a lifesaver
Speaking of chronic conditions if you are a Medic Alert wearer or such thing make sure you have it along that your riding buddies know your conditions (NOT just your passenger if you have one if you go down they may not be able to speak for you) and that they know where to find an information card or braceletdogtag Make sure any such
alert devices and cards are kept up to date as well and list any and all meds yoursquore on Emergency info devices that attach to your helmet are also available if yoursquore interested you can check those out as well
Beyond all that you also need to make sure that yoursquore rested before attempting a long ride that yoursquore ready and able for the trip and that you be realistic about your health and if you cannot safely ride tell your buddies and back out I think theyrsquod rather have you alive and riding next time than take a chance on your life and those around you

Continued on Next Page
In the end itrsquos my own lack of attention that cost me a trip to Ireland and created a huge concern for Belt Drive Betty and I apologize to her for that No it wasnrsquot something Irsquove had to deal with lately and the severity is a surprise but if Irsquod been more conscious of what was happening I might have avoided all this and been able to hoist a REAL Kilkenny IN Kilkenny
So ride safe ride long and ride healthy Renee I will be thinking of you on that trip and sending positive thoughts the whole time

Wardlow AB The 26th Annual Crowsnest Cross Country hosted by the Brooks Motorcycle Club and organized by CGRT sponsor David French of AampE Racing ran on the Labour Day long weekend
Sadly CGRT was not able to be represented as first year pro Ryan Linderman was still healing from a broken bone in his hand that required surgery in early August Shane Cuthbertson who has won this event numerous times suffered from an infection in his elbow and spent the weekend at home on IV antibiotics
Carrying the CGRT torch was Victoria
Hett who tested her fitness and stamina by competing in the Night Rooster and the Big Rooster both events hosted by the Pentictoin Off Road Motorcycle Club The Night Rooster is a 25 hour hare scrambles starting at 8pm
requiring lights and a deep volume of heart Victoria setup with a helmet light and a light bar grabbed the holeshot and rode into the night with the pack in tow She succumbed to pressure during the first lap and was passed but maintained her second place to the finish Drama did not
escape Victoria however as during her last lap her front brake line failed Fortunately the gap to third was sufficient for her to make it to the finish without further incident in second place Once she replaced her brake line and maintained her Valley Motosports Husaberg TE 250 Victoria lined up for the day race the Big Rooster Victoria started in fifth rode hard for over 3 hours and finished just behind her starting position in 6th
Normally battling for the lead the 25 hour event from the night before took its toll on Victoriarsquos energy levels for the day event It was a great effort from Victoria to maintain her 3 position in the series with 4 events left

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

across Canada and the USA in Kannaskis AB at a first class eventconference Membership within WITW does not have to be exclusive you can belong to other riding groups and clubs as well If there are enough women who are interested in finding out how this would work whatrsquos involved etchellip we will set a date to connect over coffeedrinks and discuss Expressing interest by no means commits you to joining the club The Saskatoon chapter strongly supports the creation of a Regina chapter and would help us get things rolling If you are a lady and you ride and you have interest in finding out more please email me with your name and phone number and should we get enough interest I will let you know the date to connect Gentleman if you know a lady rider that you think may be interested please pass this along

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest
The Busted Knuckle Chronicles September 19 2013 Page 47International News amp ON Events
Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Stumpy and his wife rode me over to the hotel so I wouldnrsquot get lost and we talked about the Winnipeg riding community and how fractured it is It appears that this too is common in the riding community Everyone thinks they are different in that department but I am here to tell you that right across this country riding clubs and events suffer from the same type of disconnect from each other
We said our goodbyes and promised to keep in touch I will be doing my part to ensure communications stay on track
In the morning I headed of to Thunder Bay I decided to bypass Dryden and head straight to my friends Dave and Violet Alderdicersquos place in Kakabeka Falls After 7 and a half hours in the saddle I was glad to arrive
As much as I love riding my bike at the end of every day it sure feels good to stop and sit on something that is not moving
I am not sure about you but I find that I have such a rush happening that it can take me 2-3 hours to settle down after a good day in the saddle
Our ride in Thunder Bay started off from the Tim Hortonrsquos on Balmoral Street ndash the same place we would a host a ride on our way backhellip
For this ride Dave agreed to be our ride captain and I am so glad One of the things I find about really good road captains is they know how to pick a speed and stay there as

much as traffic and road conditions will allow for and there is no one better at consistency in his speed than Dave
Somewhere 22 bikes and their riders and passengers (31) were present It was going to be a great ride out to the ice cream stand in Kakabeka Itrsquos one of the rides that pretty much every riding club in this region takes for their weekly ride nights They do this ride several times through out the season and I fully understand why Filled with wonderful curves rolling hills and pastoral farmland the scenery is deeply pleasing to the senses
The added bonus is WONDERFUL CREAMY soft ice cream at the end of the ride shared with good friends and companions
I was blessed to meet some fantastic people from the local HOG chapter and to get to interview them Yoursquoll have to watch Ride Like a Local on Easlink TV (You can view it through Video on Demand on their web site too) or wait until the DVDrsquos of the show come out for sale hopefully in December
We raised $315 for our cause and I spoke to
those present about why I was riding how our veterans have lost their pensions how our government is trying to quash a class action lawsuit that veterans in BC have mounted called Equitas ndash their goal to see pensions re-instated I spoke to them about how the

RCMP are now in the same boat as our veterans as of this fiscal budget they too have lost their pensions I urged them all to write their MLArsquos and MPrsquos We need this discussion to happen on both Provincial and Federal levels
When I was done my talk we just hung out for a while and enjoyed each others company
and talked about the Thunder Bay riding community and how disconnected the clubs were from each otherhmmm where have I heard that before
Violet Dave and I headed back to their place Our ride back was considerably shorter than for those who rode out from Thunder Bay
It was a wonderful evening and I was looking forward to our next ride in Thunder Bay which would take place on my return trip
I want to thank Dave and Violet for their friendship and support ndash I love you guys Staying at their place was like being at home and it felt wonderful after so many nights in hotel and motel rooms
Next stop Midland and after that Kingston and then my time in the gorgeous province of New Brunswick and man have I got stories to share from there

Kamloops Toy Run
Kamloops Downtown Kiwanis Club and local riders kicked off their 12th annual toy run on September 8th 2013
The downtown Kiwanis have been involved for 12 years organizing the toy run I spoke to Roger Parkes today and he is very thankful for the local RCMP and auxiliary police who have always been here to support the ride
We started the morning off with a pancake breakfast at 9 am at Aberdeen malls auxiliary parking lot at the south side of hillside drive This was followed by a showrsquo nrsquo shine which began at 11 am and went till 1230 pm There was a 5050 prize went to a father and son team Chris Gelling and Joe Gelling
We had 135 to 140 riders according to Roger Parkes Local volunteer outriders and local RCMP did a great job of keeping all participants safe and kickstands were up 1230 pm
This was a city wide toy run starting at Aberdeen mall to upper Sahali then to downtown core then out to Valleyveiw Drive
and then back through downtown Kamloops and over to Northshore down Fortune Drive to Westside Road with a break long enough to have some nice cold water provided by Kiwanis
Kickstands were down for ten minutes then off we rode down Tranquille Road towards airport and then finally back to Aberdeen Mall
Sally Whitson of Christmas Amalgamated was at our last stop smiling and accepting monetary donations and gifts Speaking to her she told me the Toy runs have been happening for 30 years

Well I have to say itrsquos been quite a summer I got out to a whole ton of fun events did a lot of riding for charity enjoyed time with my VRAC buddies and put a fair number of miles on the bike Up until last week I also was busy planning
to make the trek across the pond along with Belt Drive Betty to tour Ireland for a couple of weeks and that was going to be a lot of funhellip but I screwed up
Along with riding I also started playing bass again and so I figured that the pain I was feeling in my hands and forearms was due to that activity which I havenrsquot done much of for seven or eight years
So I noticed on longer rides that I was having some numbness and by the end of 4-5 hours in the saddle it was getting tough to use the front brake Not good obviously and Irsquove had carpal tunnel syndrome for years and know the signs so I decided I better put the bass down and ease up on the longer rides so I could be rested for Ireland Thatrsquos when the world went sideways because it just kept getting worse So I contacted the appropriate Doctor and discovered that my long dormant (and nearly forgotten) carpal had flared up Irsquod let it go too long and now wersquore into some serious issues
The long and the short here is that I ignored
the messages I was getting and now Irsquove screwed up my arm to the point where Belt Drive Betty is forced to look for another riding partner I have to miss out on an amazing trip and Irsquom pretty much parked for the rest of the year and enjoying acupuncture with electrical stimulation SO FUN
What Irsquom getting at here is that we often forget in the heat of the moment or the joy of riding that we have to watch out for our health while wersquore out there Not only the obvious things like muscle strains sunburn and bug bites but some of the less obvious too
On longer trips itrsquos important to pack a supply of water because not only is dehydration VERY bad for your health it causes muscle cramps and headaches both of which are detrimental to your riding skills If yoursquore on any kind of prescriptions you should take a dayrsquos supply (at least) along with you just in case you break down or get trapped by weather and canrsquot get home to your meds
For those who have diabetes keeping hydrated is a massive part of controlling blood sugars and making sure that you have meds and snacks along can literally be a lifesaver
Speaking of chronic conditions if you are a Medic Alert wearer or such thing make sure you have it along that your riding buddies know your conditions (NOT just your passenger if you have one if you go down they may not be able to speak for you) and that they know where to find an information card or braceletdogtag Make sure any such
alert devices and cards are kept up to date as well and list any and all meds yoursquore on Emergency info devices that attach to your helmet are also available if yoursquore interested you can check those out as well
Beyond all that you also need to make sure that yoursquore rested before attempting a long ride that yoursquore ready and able for the trip and that you be realistic about your health and if you cannot safely ride tell your buddies and back out I think theyrsquod rather have you alive and riding next time than take a chance on your life and those around you

In the end itrsquos my own lack of attention that cost me a trip to Ireland and created a huge concern for Belt Drive Betty and I apologize to her for that No it wasnrsquot something Irsquove had to deal with lately and the severity is a surprise but if Irsquod been more conscious of what was happening I might have avoided all this and been able to hoist a REAL Kilkenny IN Kilkenny
So ride safe ride long and ride healthy Renee I will be thinking of you on that trip and sending positive thoughts the whole time

Wardlow AB The 26th Annual Crowsnest Cross Country hosted by the Brooks Motorcycle Club and organized by CGRT sponsor David French of AampE Racing ran on the Labour Day long weekend
Sadly CGRT was not able to be represented as first year pro Ryan Linderman was still healing from a broken bone in his hand that required surgery in early August Shane Cuthbertson who has won this event numerous times suffered from an infection in his elbow and spent the weekend at home on IV antibiotics
Carrying the CGRT torch was Victoria
Hett who tested her fitness and stamina by competing in the Night Rooster and the Big Rooster both events hosted by the Pentictoin Off Road Motorcycle Club The Night Rooster is a 25 hour hare scrambles starting at 8pm
requiring lights and a deep volume of heart Victoria setup with a helmet light and a light bar grabbed the holeshot and rode into the night with the pack in tow She succumbed to pressure during the first lap and was passed but maintained her second place to the finish Drama did not
escape Victoria however as during her last lap her front brake line failed Fortunately the gap to third was sufficient for her to make it to the finish without further incident in second place Once she replaced her brake line and maintained her Valley Motosports Husaberg TE 250 Victoria lined up for the day race the Big Rooster Victoria started in fifth rode hard for over 3 hours and finished just behind her starting position in 6th
Normally battling for the lead the 25 hour event from the night before took its toll on Victoriarsquos energy levels for the day event It was a great effort from Victoria to maintain her 3 position in the series with 4 events left

2012 UEM Superbike Twin Champion Nate Gagnon can now add the 2013 Screamin Eagle Top Fuel Championship to his resume
Arriving at the Canadian Motorcycle Drag Racing Association Season Finals presented by Blackjacks Roadhouse at Edmontons Castrol Raceway Gagnon held a narrow lead over reigning Top Fuel Champion Damian Cownden in the season standings leaving the title up for grabs during the September 7th and 8th event Despite losing to ASB Racings Mike Pelrine in the final elimination round Gagnon and his Big Kids Racing Team secured the season championship by defeating Cownden in the semi finals

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

across Canada and the USA in Kannaskis AB at a first class eventconference Membership within WITW does not have to be exclusive you can belong to other riding groups and clubs as well If there are enough women who are interested in finding out how this would work whatrsquos involved etchellip we will set a date to connect over coffeedrinks and discuss Expressing interest by no means commits you to joining the club The Saskatoon chapter strongly supports the creation of a Regina chapter and would help us get things rolling If you are a lady and you ride and you have interest in finding out more please email me with your name and phone number and should we get enough interest I will let you know the date to connect Gentleman if you know a lady rider that you think may be interested please pass this along

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest
The Busted Knuckle Chronicles September 19 2013 Page 47International News amp ON Events
Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

much as traffic and road conditions will allow for and there is no one better at consistency in his speed than Dave
Somewhere 22 bikes and their riders and passengers (31) were present It was going to be a great ride out to the ice cream stand in Kakabeka Itrsquos one of the rides that pretty much every riding club in this region takes for their weekly ride nights They do this ride several times through out the season and I fully understand why Filled with wonderful curves rolling hills and pastoral farmland the scenery is deeply pleasing to the senses
The added bonus is WONDERFUL CREAMY soft ice cream at the end of the ride shared with good friends and companions
I was blessed to meet some fantastic people from the local HOG chapter and to get to interview them Yoursquoll have to watch Ride Like a Local on Easlink TV (You can view it through Video on Demand on their web site too) or wait until the DVDrsquos of the show come out for sale hopefully in December
We raised $315 for our cause and I spoke to
those present about why I was riding how our veterans have lost their pensions how our government is trying to quash a class action lawsuit that veterans in BC have mounted called Equitas ndash their goal to see pensions re-instated I spoke to them about how the

RCMP are now in the same boat as our veterans as of this fiscal budget they too have lost their pensions I urged them all to write their MLArsquos and MPrsquos We need this discussion to happen on both Provincial and Federal levels
When I was done my talk we just hung out for a while and enjoyed each others company
and talked about the Thunder Bay riding community and how disconnected the clubs were from each otherhmmm where have I heard that before
Violet Dave and I headed back to their place Our ride back was considerably shorter than for those who rode out from Thunder Bay
It was a wonderful evening and I was looking forward to our next ride in Thunder Bay which would take place on my return trip
I want to thank Dave and Violet for their friendship and support ndash I love you guys Staying at their place was like being at home and it felt wonderful after so many nights in hotel and motel rooms
Next stop Midland and after that Kingston and then my time in the gorgeous province of New Brunswick and man have I got stories to share from there

Kamloops Toy Run
Kamloops Downtown Kiwanis Club and local riders kicked off their 12th annual toy run on September 8th 2013
The downtown Kiwanis have been involved for 12 years organizing the toy run I spoke to Roger Parkes today and he is very thankful for the local RCMP and auxiliary police who have always been here to support the ride
We started the morning off with a pancake breakfast at 9 am at Aberdeen malls auxiliary parking lot at the south side of hillside drive This was followed by a showrsquo nrsquo shine which began at 11 am and went till 1230 pm There was a 5050 prize went to a father and son team Chris Gelling and Joe Gelling
We had 135 to 140 riders according to Roger Parkes Local volunteer outriders and local RCMP did a great job of keeping all participants safe and kickstands were up 1230 pm
This was a city wide toy run starting at Aberdeen mall to upper Sahali then to downtown core then out to Valleyveiw Drive
and then back through downtown Kamloops and over to Northshore down Fortune Drive to Westside Road with a break long enough to have some nice cold water provided by Kiwanis
Kickstands were down for ten minutes then off we rode down Tranquille Road towards airport and then finally back to Aberdeen Mall
Sally Whitson of Christmas Amalgamated was at our last stop smiling and accepting monetary donations and gifts Speaking to her she told me the Toy runs have been happening for 30 years

Well I have to say itrsquos been quite a summer I got out to a whole ton of fun events did a lot of riding for charity enjoyed time with my VRAC buddies and put a fair number of miles on the bike Up until last week I also was busy planning
to make the trek across the pond along with Belt Drive Betty to tour Ireland for a couple of weeks and that was going to be a lot of funhellip but I screwed up
Along with riding I also started playing bass again and so I figured that the pain I was feeling in my hands and forearms was due to that activity which I havenrsquot done much of for seven or eight years
So I noticed on longer rides that I was having some numbness and by the end of 4-5 hours in the saddle it was getting tough to use the front brake Not good obviously and Irsquove had carpal tunnel syndrome for years and know the signs so I decided I better put the bass down and ease up on the longer rides so I could be rested for Ireland Thatrsquos when the world went sideways because it just kept getting worse So I contacted the appropriate Doctor and discovered that my long dormant (and nearly forgotten) carpal had flared up Irsquod let it go too long and now wersquore into some serious issues
The long and the short here is that I ignored
the messages I was getting and now Irsquove screwed up my arm to the point where Belt Drive Betty is forced to look for another riding partner I have to miss out on an amazing trip and Irsquom pretty much parked for the rest of the year and enjoying acupuncture with electrical stimulation SO FUN
What Irsquom getting at here is that we often forget in the heat of the moment or the joy of riding that we have to watch out for our health while wersquore out there Not only the obvious things like muscle strains sunburn and bug bites but some of the less obvious too
On longer trips itrsquos important to pack a supply of water because not only is dehydration VERY bad for your health it causes muscle cramps and headaches both of which are detrimental to your riding skills If yoursquore on any kind of prescriptions you should take a dayrsquos supply (at least) along with you just in case you break down or get trapped by weather and canrsquot get home to your meds
For those who have diabetes keeping hydrated is a massive part of controlling blood sugars and making sure that you have meds and snacks along can literally be a lifesaver
Speaking of chronic conditions if you are a Medic Alert wearer or such thing make sure you have it along that your riding buddies know your conditions (NOT just your passenger if you have one if you go down they may not be able to speak for you) and that they know where to find an information card or braceletdogtag Make sure any such
alert devices and cards are kept up to date as well and list any and all meds yoursquore on Emergency info devices that attach to your helmet are also available if yoursquore interested you can check those out as well
Beyond all that you also need to make sure that yoursquore rested before attempting a long ride that yoursquore ready and able for the trip and that you be realistic about your health and if you cannot safely ride tell your buddies and back out I think theyrsquod rather have you alive and riding next time than take a chance on your life and those around you

Continued on Next Page
In the end itrsquos my own lack of attention that cost me a trip to Ireland and created a huge concern for Belt Drive Betty and I apologize to her for that No it wasnrsquot something Irsquove had to deal with lately and the severity is a surprise but if Irsquod been more conscious of what was happening I might have avoided all this and been able to hoist a REAL Kilkenny IN Kilkenny
So ride safe ride long and ride healthy Renee I will be thinking of you on that trip and sending positive thoughts the whole time

Wardlow AB The 26th Annual Crowsnest Cross Country hosted by the Brooks Motorcycle Club and organized by CGRT sponsor David French of AampE Racing ran on the Labour Day long weekend
Sadly CGRT was not able to be represented as first year pro Ryan Linderman was still healing from a broken bone in his hand that required surgery in early August Shane Cuthbertson who has won this event numerous times suffered from an infection in his elbow and spent the weekend at home on IV antibiotics
Carrying the CGRT torch was Victoria
Hett who tested her fitness and stamina by competing in the Night Rooster and the Big Rooster both events hosted by the Pentictoin Off Road Motorcycle Club The Night Rooster is a 25 hour hare scrambles starting at 8pm
requiring lights and a deep volume of heart Victoria setup with a helmet light and a light bar grabbed the holeshot and rode into the night with the pack in tow She succumbed to pressure during the first lap and was passed but maintained her second place to the finish Drama did not
escape Victoria however as during her last lap her front brake line failed Fortunately the gap to third was sufficient for her to make it to the finish without further incident in second place Once she replaced her brake line and maintained her Valley Motosports Husaberg TE 250 Victoria lined up for the day race the Big Rooster Victoria started in fifth rode hard for over 3 hours and finished just behind her starting position in 6th
Normally battling for the lead the 25 hour event from the night before took its toll on Victoriarsquos energy levels for the day event It was a great effort from Victoria to maintain her 3 position in the series with 4 events left

2012 UEM Superbike Twin Champion Nate Gagnon can now add the 2013 Screamin Eagle Top Fuel Championship to his resume
Arriving at the Canadian Motorcycle Drag Racing Association Season Finals presented by Blackjacks Roadhouse at Edmontons Castrol Raceway Gagnon held a narrow lead over reigning Top Fuel Champion Damian Cownden in the season standings leaving the title up for grabs during the September 7th and 8th event Despite losing to ASB Racings Mike Pelrine in the final elimination round Gagnon and his Big Kids Racing Team secured the season championship by defeating Cownden in the semi finals

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

There is often an annual provincial rally and like this year (just last weekend) a bi-annual event that hosted over 200 lady riders from
across Canada and the USA in Kannaskis AB at a first class eventconference Membership within WITW does not have to be exclusive you can belong to other riding groups and clubs as well If there are enough women who are interested in finding out how this would work whatrsquos involved etchellip we will set a date to connect over coffeedrinks and discuss Expressing interest by no means commits you to joining the club The Saskatoon chapter strongly supports the creation of a Regina chapter and would help us get things rolling If you are a lady and you ride and you have interest in finding out more please email me with your name and phone number and should we get enough interest I will let you know the date to connect Gentleman if you know a lady rider that you think may be interested please pass this along

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest
The Busted Knuckle Chronicles September 19 2013 Page 47International News amp ON Events
Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

RCMP are now in the same boat as our veterans as of this fiscal budget they too have lost their pensions I urged them all to write their MLArsquos and MPrsquos We need this discussion to happen on both Provincial and Federal levels
When I was done my talk we just hung out for a while and enjoyed each others company
and talked about the Thunder Bay riding community and how disconnected the clubs were from each otherhmmm where have I heard that before
Violet Dave and I headed back to their place Our ride back was considerably shorter than for those who rode out from Thunder Bay
It was a wonderful evening and I was looking forward to our next ride in Thunder Bay which would take place on my return trip
I want to thank Dave and Violet for their friendship and support ndash I love you guys Staying at their place was like being at home and it felt wonderful after so many nights in hotel and motel rooms
Next stop Midland and after that Kingston and then my time in the gorgeous province of New Brunswick and man have I got stories to share from there
Until next week I am your editor Belt Drive Betty

Kamloops Toy Run
Kamloops Downtown Kiwanis Club and local riders kicked off their 12th annual toy run on September 8th 2013
The downtown Kiwanis have been involved for 12 years organizing the toy run I spoke to Roger Parkes today and he is very thankful for the local RCMP and auxiliary police who have always been here to support the ride
We started the morning off with a pancake breakfast at 9 am at Aberdeen malls auxiliary parking lot at the south side of hillside drive This was followed by a showrsquo nrsquo shine which began at 11 am and went till 1230 pm There was a 5050 prize went to a father and son team Chris Gelling and Joe Gelling
We had 135 to 140 riders according to Roger Parkes Local volunteer outriders and local RCMP did a great job of keeping all participants safe and kickstands were up 1230 pm
This was a city wide toy run starting at Aberdeen mall to upper Sahali then to downtown core then out to Valleyveiw Drive
and then back through downtown Kamloops and over to Northshore down Fortune Drive to Westside Road with a break long enough to have some nice cold water provided by Kiwanis
Kickstands were down for ten minutes then off we rode down Tranquille Road towards airport and then finally back to Aberdeen Mall
Sally Whitson of Christmas Amalgamated was at our last stop smiling and accepting monetary donations and gifts Speaking to her she told me the Toy runs have been happening for 30 years

Well I have to say itrsquos been quite a summer I got out to a whole ton of fun events did a lot of riding for charity enjoyed time with my VRAC buddies and put a fair number of miles on the bike Up until last week I also was busy planning
to make the trek across the pond along with Belt Drive Betty to tour Ireland for a couple of weeks and that was going to be a lot of funhellip but I screwed up
Along with riding I also started playing bass again and so I figured that the pain I was feeling in my hands and forearms was due to that activity which I havenrsquot done much of for seven or eight years
So I noticed on longer rides that I was having some numbness and by the end of 4-5 hours in the saddle it was getting tough to use the front brake Not good obviously and Irsquove had carpal tunnel syndrome for years and know the signs so I decided I better put the bass down and ease up on the longer rides so I could be rested for Ireland Thatrsquos when the world went sideways because it just kept getting worse So I contacted the appropriate Doctor and discovered that my long dormant (and nearly forgotten) carpal had flared up Irsquod let it go too long and now wersquore into some serious issues
The long and the short here is that I ignored
the messages I was getting and now Irsquove screwed up my arm to the point where Belt Drive Betty is forced to look for another riding partner I have to miss out on an amazing trip and Irsquom pretty much parked for the rest of the year and enjoying acupuncture with electrical stimulation SO FUN
What Irsquom getting at here is that we often forget in the heat of the moment or the joy of riding that we have to watch out for our health while wersquore out there Not only the obvious things like muscle strains sunburn and bug bites but some of the less obvious too
On longer trips itrsquos important to pack a supply of water because not only is dehydration VERY bad for your health it causes muscle cramps and headaches both of which are detrimental to your riding skills If yoursquore on any kind of prescriptions you should take a dayrsquos supply (at least) along with you just in case you break down or get trapped by weather and canrsquot get home to your meds
For those who have diabetes keeping hydrated is a massive part of controlling blood sugars and making sure that you have meds and snacks along can literally be a lifesaver
Speaking of chronic conditions if you are a Medic Alert wearer or such thing make sure you have it along that your riding buddies know your conditions (NOT just your passenger if you have one if you go down they may not be able to speak for you) and that they know where to find an information card or braceletdogtag Make sure any such
alert devices and cards are kept up to date as well and list any and all meds yoursquore on Emergency info devices that attach to your helmet are also available if yoursquore interested you can check those out as well
Beyond all that you also need to make sure that yoursquore rested before attempting a long ride that yoursquore ready and able for the trip and that you be realistic about your health and if you cannot safely ride tell your buddies and back out I think theyrsquod rather have you alive and riding next time than take a chance on your life and those around you

Continued on Next Page
In the end itrsquos my own lack of attention that cost me a trip to Ireland and created a huge concern for Belt Drive Betty and I apologize to her for that No it wasnrsquot something Irsquove had to deal with lately and the severity is a surprise but if Irsquod been more conscious of what was happening I might have avoided all this and been able to hoist a REAL Kilkenny IN Kilkenny
So ride safe ride long and ride healthy Renee I will be thinking of you on that trip and sending positive thoughts the whole time

Wardlow AB The 26th Annual Crowsnest Cross Country hosted by the Brooks Motorcycle Club and organized by CGRT sponsor David French of AampE Racing ran on the Labour Day long weekend
Sadly CGRT was not able to be represented as first year pro Ryan Linderman was still healing from a broken bone in his hand that required surgery in early August Shane Cuthbertson who has won this event numerous times suffered from an infection in his elbow and spent the weekend at home on IV antibiotics
Carrying the CGRT torch was Victoria
Hett who tested her fitness and stamina by competing in the Night Rooster and the Big Rooster both events hosted by the Pentictoin Off Road Motorcycle Club The Night Rooster is a 25 hour hare scrambles starting at 8pm
requiring lights and a deep volume of heart Victoria setup with a helmet light and a light bar grabbed the holeshot and rode into the night with the pack in tow She succumbed to pressure during the first lap and was passed but maintained her second place to the finish Drama did not
escape Victoria however as during her last lap her front brake line failed Fortunately the gap to third was sufficient for her to make it to the finish without further incident in second place Once she replaced her brake line and maintained her Valley Motosports Husaberg TE 250 Victoria lined up for the day race the Big Rooster Victoria started in fifth rode hard for over 3 hours and finished just behind her starting position in 6th
Normally battling for the lead the 25 hour event from the night before took its toll on Victoriarsquos energy levels for the day event It was a great effort from Victoria to maintain her 3 position in the series with 4 events left

Gagnon Claims Screamin Eagle Top Fuel Title
2012 UEM Superbike Twin Champion Nate Gagnon can now add the 2013 Screamin Eagle Top Fuel Championship to his resume

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

There is often an annual provincial rally and like this year (just last weekend) a bi-annual event that hosted over 200 lady riders from
across Canada and the USA in Kannaskis AB at a first class eventconference Membership within WITW does not have to be exclusive you can belong to other riding groups and clubs as well If there are enough women who are interested in finding out how this would work whatrsquos involved etchellip we will set a date to connect over coffeedrinks and discuss Expressing interest by no means commits you to joining the club The Saskatoon chapter strongly supports the creation of a Regina chapter and would help us get things rolling If you are a lady and you ride and you have interest in finding out more please email me with your name and phone number and should we get enough interest I will let you know the date to connect Gentleman if you know a lady rider that you think may be interested please pass this along

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge

Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo

By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Kamloops Toy Run
Kamloops Downtown Kiwanis Club and local riders kicked off their 12th annual toy run on September 8th 2013
The downtown Kiwanis have been involved for 12 years organizing the toy run I spoke to Roger Parkes today and he is very thankful for the local RCMP and auxiliary police who have always been here to support the ride
We started the morning off with a pancake breakfast at 9 am at Aberdeen malls auxiliary parking lot at the south side of hillside drive This was followed by a showrsquo nrsquo shine which began at 11 am and went till 1230 pm There was a 5050 prize went to a father and son team Chris Gelling and Joe Gelling
We had 135 to 140 riders according to Roger Parkes Local volunteer outriders and local RCMP did a great job of keeping all participants safe and kickstands were up 1230 pm
This was a city wide toy run starting at Aberdeen mall to upper Sahali then to downtown core then out to Valleyveiw Drive
and then back through downtown Kamloops and over to Northshore down Fortune Drive to Westside Road with a break long enough to have some nice cold water provided by Kiwanis
Kickstands were down for ten minutes then off we rode down Tranquille Road towards airport and then finally back to Aberdeen Mall
Sally Whitson of Christmas Amalgamated was at our last stop smiling and accepting monetary donations and gifts Speaking to her she told me the Toy runs have been happening for 30 years

Well I have to say itrsquos been quite a summer I got out to a whole ton of fun events did a lot of riding for charity enjoyed time with my VRAC buddies and put a fair number of miles on the bike Up until last week I also was busy planning
to make the trek across the pond along with Belt Drive Betty to tour Ireland for a couple of weeks and that was going to be a lot of funhellip but I screwed up
Along with riding I also started playing bass again and so I figured that the pain I was feeling in my hands and forearms was due to that activity which I havenrsquot done much of for seven or eight years
So I noticed on longer rides that I was having some numbness and by the end of 4-5 hours in the saddle it was getting tough to use the front brake Not good obviously and Irsquove had carpal tunnel syndrome for years and know the signs so I decided I better put the bass down and ease up on the longer rides so I could be rested for Ireland Thatrsquos when the world went sideways because it just kept getting worse So I contacted the appropriate Doctor and discovered that my long dormant (and nearly forgotten) carpal had flared up Irsquod let it go too long and now wersquore into some serious issues
The long and the short here is that I ignored
the messages I was getting and now Irsquove screwed up my arm to the point where Belt Drive Betty is forced to look for another riding partner I have to miss out on an amazing trip and Irsquom pretty much parked for the rest of the year and enjoying acupuncture with electrical stimulation SO FUN
What Irsquom getting at here is that we often forget in the heat of the moment or the joy of riding that we have to watch out for our health while wersquore out there Not only the obvious things like muscle strains sunburn and bug bites but some of the less obvious too
On longer trips itrsquos important to pack a supply of water because not only is dehydration VERY bad for your health it causes muscle cramps and headaches both of which are detrimental to your riding skills If yoursquore on any kind of prescriptions you should take a dayrsquos supply (at least) along with you just in case you break down or get trapped by weather and canrsquot get home to your meds
For those who have diabetes keeping hydrated is a massive part of controlling blood sugars and making sure that you have meds and snacks along can literally be a lifesaver
Speaking of chronic conditions if you are a Medic Alert wearer or such thing make sure you have it along that your riding buddies know your conditions (NOT just your passenger if you have one if you go down they may not be able to speak for you) and that they know where to find an information card or braceletdogtag Make sure any such
alert devices and cards are kept up to date as well and list any and all meds yoursquore on Emergency info devices that attach to your helmet are also available if yoursquore interested you can check those out as well
Beyond all that you also need to make sure that yoursquore rested before attempting a long ride that yoursquore ready and able for the trip and that you be realistic about your health and if you cannot safely ride tell your buddies and back out I think theyrsquod rather have you alive and riding next time than take a chance on your life and those around you

Continued on Next Page
In the end itrsquos my own lack of attention that cost me a trip to Ireland and created a huge concern for Belt Drive Betty and I apologize to her for that No it wasnrsquot something Irsquove had to deal with lately and the severity is a surprise but if Irsquod been more conscious of what was happening I might have avoided all this and been able to hoist a REAL Kilkenny IN Kilkenny
So ride safe ride long and ride healthy Renee I will be thinking of you on that trip and sending positive thoughts the whole time

Wardlow AB The 26th Annual Crowsnest Cross Country hosted by the Brooks Motorcycle Club and organized by CGRT sponsor David French of AampE Racing ran on the Labour Day long weekend
Sadly CGRT was not able to be represented as first year pro Ryan Linderman was still healing from a broken bone in his hand that required surgery in early August Shane Cuthbertson who has won this event numerous times suffered from an infection in his elbow and spent the weekend at home on IV antibiotics
Carrying the CGRT torch was Victoria
Hett who tested her fitness and stamina by competing in the Night Rooster and the Big Rooster both events hosted by the Pentictoin Off Road Motorcycle Club The Night Rooster is a 25 hour hare scrambles starting at 8pm
requiring lights and a deep volume of heart Victoria setup with a helmet light and a light bar grabbed the holeshot and rode into the night with the pack in tow She succumbed to pressure during the first lap and was passed but maintained her second place to the finish Drama did not
escape Victoria however as during her last lap her front brake line failed Fortunately the gap to third was sufficient for her to make it to the finish without further incident in second place Once she replaced her brake line and maintained her Valley Motosports Husaberg TE 250 Victoria lined up for the day race the Big Rooster Victoria started in fifth rode hard for over 3 hours and finished just behind her starting position in 6th
Normally battling for the lead the 25 hour event from the night before took its toll on Victoriarsquos energy levels for the day event It was a great effort from Victoria to maintain her 3 position in the series with 4 events left

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

Women in the Wind
I am interested in starting up a Women in the Wind (WITW) motorcycle chapter within Regina for lady riders and looking to find others who may have interest in joining as well To read about the history of WITW and see where other chapters are located the official national website is here httpwwwwomeninthewindorg This national motorcycle club has several chapters across Canada including Saskatoon Membership is open to all lady riders all makes and models of motorcycles and all levels of experience This is more about a bunch of ladies uniting to ride and socialize together
There is often an annual provincial rally and like this year (just last weekend) a bi-annual event that hosted over 200 lady riders from
across Canada and the USA in Kannaskis AB at a first class eventconference Membership within WITW does not have to be exclusive you can belong to other riding groups and clubs as well If there are enough women who are interested in finding out how this would work whatrsquos involved etchellip we will set a date to connect over coffeedrinks and discuss Expressing interest by no means commits you to joining the club The Saskatoon chapter strongly supports the creation of a Regina chapter and would help us get things rolling If you are a lady and you ride and you have interest in finding out more please email me with your name and phone number and should we get enough interest I will let you know the date to connect Gentleman if you know a lady rider that you think may be interested please pass this along
Thank you in advance SincerelyShelly-Anne Shellyanne888gmailcomCell 306-501-5820

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles September 19 2013 Page 38SOT - Long Walk to Sanity amp Poem
Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Well I have to say itrsquos been quite a summer I got out to a whole ton of fun events did a lot of riding for charity enjoyed time with my VRAC buddies and put a fair number of miles on the bike Up until last week I also was busy planning
to make the trek across the pond along with Belt Drive Betty to tour Ireland for a couple of weeks and that was going to be a lot of funhellip but I screwed up
Along with riding I also started playing bass again and so I figured that the pain I was feeling in my hands and forearms was due to that activity which I havenrsquot done much of for seven or eight years
So I noticed on longer rides that I was having some numbness and by the end of 4-5 hours in the saddle it was getting tough to use the front brake Not good obviously and Irsquove had carpal tunnel syndrome for years and know the signs so I decided I better put the bass down and ease up on the longer rides so I could be rested for Ireland Thatrsquos when the world went sideways because it just kept getting worse So I contacted the appropriate Doctor and discovered that my long dormant (and nearly forgotten) carpal had flared up Irsquod let it go too long and now wersquore into some serious issues
The long and the short here is that I ignored
the messages I was getting and now Irsquove screwed up my arm to the point where Belt Drive Betty is forced to look for another riding partner I have to miss out on an amazing trip and Irsquom pretty much parked for the rest of the year and enjoying acupuncture with electrical stimulation SO FUN
What Irsquom getting at here is that we often forget in the heat of the moment or the joy of riding that we have to watch out for our health while wersquore out there Not only the obvious things like muscle strains sunburn and bug bites but some of the less obvious too
On longer trips itrsquos important to pack a supply of water because not only is dehydration VERY bad for your health it causes muscle cramps and headaches both of which are detrimental to your riding skills If yoursquore on any kind of prescriptions you should take a dayrsquos supply (at least) along with you just in case you break down or get trapped by weather and canrsquot get home to your meds
For those who have diabetes keeping hydrated is a massive part of controlling blood sugars and making sure that you have meds and snacks along can literally be a lifesaver
Speaking of chronic conditions if you are a Medic Alert wearer or such thing make sure you have it along that your riding buddies know your conditions (NOT just your passenger if you have one if you go down they may not be able to speak for you) and that they know where to find an information card or braceletdogtag Make sure any such
alert devices and cards are kept up to date as well and list any and all meds yoursquore on Emergency info devices that attach to your helmet are also available if yoursquore interested you can check those out as well
Beyond all that you also need to make sure that yoursquore rested before attempting a long ride that yoursquore ready and able for the trip and that you be realistic about your health and if you cannot safely ride tell your buddies and back out I think theyrsquod rather have you alive and riding next time than take a chance on your life and those around you

Continued on Next Page
In the end itrsquos my own lack of attention that cost me a trip to Ireland and created a huge concern for Belt Drive Betty and I apologize to her for that No it wasnrsquot something Irsquove had to deal with lately and the severity is a surprise but if Irsquod been more conscious of what was happening I might have avoided all this and been able to hoist a REAL Kilkenny IN Kilkenny
So ride safe ride long and ride healthy Renee I will be thinking of you on that trip and sending positive thoughts the whole time

Wardlow AB The 26th Annual Crowsnest Cross Country hosted by the Brooks Motorcycle Club and organized by CGRT sponsor David French of AampE Racing ran on the Labour Day long weekend
Sadly CGRT was not able to be represented as first year pro Ryan Linderman was still healing from a broken bone in his hand that required surgery in early August Shane Cuthbertson who has won this event numerous times suffered from an infection in his elbow and spent the weekend at home on IV antibiotics
Carrying the CGRT torch was Victoria
Hett who tested her fitness and stamina by competing in the Night Rooster and the Big Rooster both events hosted by the Pentictoin Off Road Motorcycle Club The Night Rooster is a 25 hour hare scrambles starting at 8pm
requiring lights and a deep volume of heart Victoria setup with a helmet light and a light bar grabbed the holeshot and rode into the night with the pack in tow She succumbed to pressure during the first lap and was passed but maintained her second place to the finish Drama did not
escape Victoria however as during her last lap her front brake line failed Fortunately the gap to third was sufficient for her to make it to the finish without further incident in second place Once she replaced her brake line and maintained her Valley Motosports Husaberg TE 250 Victoria lined up for the day race the Big Rooster Victoria started in fifth rode hard for over 3 hours and finished just behind her starting position in 6th
Normally battling for the lead the 25 hour event from the night before took its toll on Victoriarsquos energy levels for the day event It was a great effort from Victoria to maintain her 3 position in the series with 4 events left

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

across Canada and the USA in Kannaskis AB at a first class eventconference Membership within WITW does not have to be exclusive you can belong to other riding groups and clubs as well If there are enough women who are interested in finding out how this would work whatrsquos involved etchellip we will set a date to connect over coffeedrinks and discuss Expressing interest by no means commits you to joining the club The Saskatoon chapter strongly supports the creation of a Regina chapter and would help us get things rolling If you are a lady and you ride and you have interest in finding out more please email me with your name and phone number and should we get enough interest I will let you know the date to connect Gentleman if you know a lady rider that you think may be interested please pass this along

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo is walking from the Hamilton Moun-tain branch of the Royal Canadian Legion to Port
Dover to collect toys for children in military families
Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Well I have to say itrsquos been quite a summer I got out to a whole ton of fun events did a lot of riding for charity enjoyed time with my VRAC buddies and put a fair number of miles on the bike Up until last week I also was busy planning
to make the trek across the pond along with Belt Drive Betty to tour Ireland for a couple of weeks and that was going to be a lot of funhellip but I screwed up
Along with riding I also started playing bass again and so I figured that the pain I was feeling in my hands and forearms was due to that activity which I havenrsquot done much of for seven or eight years
So I noticed on longer rides that I was having some numbness and by the end of 4-5 hours in the saddle it was getting tough to use the front brake Not good obviously and Irsquove had carpal tunnel syndrome for years and know the signs so I decided I better put the bass down and ease up on the longer rides so I could be rested for Ireland Thatrsquos when the world went sideways because it just kept getting worse So I contacted the appropriate Doctor and discovered that my long dormant (and nearly forgotten) carpal had flared up Irsquod let it go too long and now wersquore into some serious issues
The long and the short here is that I ignored
the messages I was getting and now Irsquove screwed up my arm to the point where Belt Drive Betty is forced to look for another riding partner I have to miss out on an amazing trip and Irsquom pretty much parked for the rest of the year and enjoying acupuncture with electrical stimulation SO FUN
What Irsquom getting at here is that we often forget in the heat of the moment or the joy of riding that we have to watch out for our health while wersquore out there Not only the obvious things like muscle strains sunburn and bug bites but some of the less obvious too
On longer trips itrsquos important to pack a supply of water because not only is dehydration VERY bad for your health it causes muscle cramps and headaches both of which are detrimental to your riding skills If yoursquore on any kind of prescriptions you should take a dayrsquos supply (at least) along with you just in case you break down or get trapped by weather and canrsquot get home to your meds
For those who have diabetes keeping hydrated is a massive part of controlling blood sugars and making sure that you have meds and snacks along can literally be a lifesaver
Speaking of chronic conditions if you are a Medic Alert wearer or such thing make sure you have it along that your riding buddies know your conditions (NOT just your passenger if you have one if you go down they may not be able to speak for you) and that they know where to find an information card or braceletdogtag Make sure any such
alert devices and cards are kept up to date as well and list any and all meds yoursquore on Emergency info devices that attach to your helmet are also available if yoursquore interested you can check those out as well
Beyond all that you also need to make sure that yoursquore rested before attempting a long ride that yoursquore ready and able for the trip and that you be realistic about your health and if you cannot safely ride tell your buddies and back out I think theyrsquod rather have you alive and riding next time than take a chance on your life and those around you

Continued on Next Page
In the end itrsquos my own lack of attention that cost me a trip to Ireland and created a huge concern for Belt Drive Betty and I apologize to her for that No it wasnrsquot something Irsquove had to deal with lately and the severity is a surprise but if Irsquod been more conscious of what was happening I might have avoided all this and been able to hoist a REAL Kilkenny IN Kilkenny
So ride safe ride long and ride healthy Renee I will be thinking of you on that trip and sending positive thoughts the whole time

Wardlow AB The 26th Annual Crowsnest Cross Country hosted by the Brooks Motorcycle Club and organized by CGRT sponsor David French of AampE Racing ran on the Labour Day long weekend
Sadly CGRT was not able to be represented as first year pro Ryan Linderman was still healing from a broken bone in his hand that required surgery in early August Shane Cuthbertson who has won this event numerous times suffered from an infection in his elbow and spent the weekend at home on IV antibiotics
Carrying the CGRT torch was Victoria
Hett who tested her fitness and stamina by competing in the Night Rooster and the Big Rooster both events hosted by the Pentictoin Off Road Motorcycle Club The Night Rooster is a 25 hour hare scrambles starting at 8pm
requiring lights and a deep volume of heart Victoria setup with a helmet light and a light bar grabbed the holeshot and rode into the night with the pack in tow She succumbed to pressure during the first lap and was passed but maintained her second place to the finish Drama did not
escape Victoria however as during her last lap her front brake line failed Fortunately the gap to third was sufficient for her to make it to the finish without further incident in second place Once she replaced her brake line and maintained her Valley Motosports Husaberg TE 250 Victoria lined up for the day race the Big Rooster Victoria started in fifth rode hard for over 3 hours and finished just behind her starting position in 6th
Normally battling for the lead the 25 hour event from the night before took its toll on Victoriarsquos energy levels for the day event It was a great effort from Victoria to maintain her 3 position in the series with 4 events left

Gagnon Claims Screamin Eagle Top Fuel Title
2012 UEM Superbike Twin Champion Nate Gagnon can now add the 2013 Screamin Eagle Top Fuel Championship to his resume
Arriving at the Canadian Motorcycle Drag Racing Association Season Finals presented by Blackjacks Roadhouse at Edmontons Castrol Raceway Gagnon held a narrow lead over reigning Top Fuel Champion Damian Cownden in the season standings leaving the title up for grabs during the September 7th and 8th event Despite losing to ASB Racings Mike Pelrine in the final elimination round Gagnon and his Big Kids Racing Team secured the season championship by defeating Cownden in the semi finals
Al Miles wrapped up a perfect season in the Screaminrsquo Eagle Pro Dragster division when mechanical issues kept number one qualifier Doug Casson from racing Miles in the final The accomplishments of Milesrsquo FFR Racing Team were recognized at the yearend banquet
where Miles received the Dennis Mark Memorial Award for Outstanding Achievement Long time FFR crew chief Jerry Gordon was the recipient of the Wrench of the Year award as well as the Trev Deeley Memorial Award recognizing Contribution amp Dedication to Canadian Motorcycle Drag Racing
In the Screaminrsquo Eagle V Rod Destroyer class Nick Allen won the Season Finals and the 2013 Western Championship by defeating Pete Thomson in the last elimination round Allen and Thomson would go head to head again in the East vs West Shootout with Allen taking the victory and an unprecedented 7th consecutive Screaminrsquo Eagle V-Rod National Title
Pro Street saw Rob Aston and Ethan Barkley reset the benchmarks for this class in Canada Trailing in the season standings Barkley left nothing in the trailer putting down his best runs of the year including a new CMDRA Pro Street Mile per Hour record of 19267
Astonrsquos response was equally impressive as he achieved new records for 18th mile ET and MPH as well as the new CMDRA Pro Street 14 mile ET record of 7429 seconds enroute to victory and his first CMDRA Pro Street Championship

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Well I have to say itrsquos been quite a summer I got out to a whole ton of fun events did a lot of riding for charity enjoyed time with my VRAC buddies and put a fair number of miles on the bike Up until last week I also was busy planning
to make the trek across the pond along with Belt Drive Betty to tour Ireland for a couple of weeks and that was going to be a lot of funhellip but I screwed up
Along with riding I also started playing bass again and so I figured that the pain I was feeling in my hands and forearms was due to that activity which I havenrsquot done much of for seven or eight years
So I noticed on longer rides that I was having some numbness and by the end of 4-5 hours in the saddle it was getting tough to use the front brake Not good obviously and Irsquove had carpal tunnel syndrome for years and know the signs so I decided I better put the bass down and ease up on the longer rides so I could be rested for Ireland Thatrsquos when the world went sideways because it just kept getting worse So I contacted the appropriate Doctor and discovered that my long dormant (and nearly forgotten) carpal had flared up Irsquod let it go too long and now wersquore into some serious issues
The long and the short here is that I ignored
the messages I was getting and now Irsquove screwed up my arm to the point where Belt Drive Betty is forced to look for another riding partner I have to miss out on an amazing trip and Irsquom pretty much parked for the rest of the year and enjoying acupuncture with electrical stimulation SO FUN
What Irsquom getting at here is that we often forget in the heat of the moment or the joy of riding that we have to watch out for our health while wersquore out there Not only the obvious things like muscle strains sunburn and bug bites but some of the less obvious too
On longer trips itrsquos important to pack a supply of water because not only is dehydration VERY bad for your health it causes muscle cramps and headaches both of which are detrimental to your riding skills If yoursquore on any kind of prescriptions you should take a dayrsquos supply (at least) along with you just in case you break down or get trapped by weather and canrsquot get home to your meds
For those who have diabetes keeping hydrated is a massive part of controlling blood sugars and making sure that you have meds and snacks along can literally be a lifesaver
Speaking of chronic conditions if you are a Medic Alert wearer or such thing make sure you have it along that your riding buddies know your conditions (NOT just your passenger if you have one if you go down they may not be able to speak for you) and that they know where to find an information card or braceletdogtag Make sure any such
alert devices and cards are kept up to date as well and list any and all meds yoursquore on Emergency info devices that attach to your helmet are also available if yoursquore interested you can check those out as well
Beyond all that you also need to make sure that yoursquore rested before attempting a long ride that yoursquore ready and able for the trip and that you be realistic about your health and if you cannot safely ride tell your buddies and back out I think theyrsquod rather have you alive and riding next time than take a chance on your life and those around you

In the end itrsquos my own lack of attention that cost me a trip to Ireland and created a huge concern for Belt Drive Betty and I apologize to her for that No it wasnrsquot something Irsquove had to deal with lately and the severity is a surprise but if Irsquod been more conscious of what was happening I might have avoided all this and been able to hoist a REAL Kilkenny IN Kilkenny
So ride safe ride long and ride healthy Renee I will be thinking of you on that trip and sending positive thoughts the whole time

Wardlow AB The 26th Annual Crowsnest Cross Country hosted by the Brooks Motorcycle Club and organized by CGRT sponsor David French of AampE Racing ran on the Labour Day long weekend
Sadly CGRT was not able to be represented as first year pro Ryan Linderman was still healing from a broken bone in his hand that required surgery in early August Shane Cuthbertson who has won this event numerous times suffered from an infection in his elbow and spent the weekend at home on IV antibiotics
Carrying the CGRT torch was Victoria
Hett who tested her fitness and stamina by competing in the Night Rooster and the Big Rooster both events hosted by the Pentictoin Off Road Motorcycle Club The Night Rooster is a 25 hour hare scrambles starting at 8pm
requiring lights and a deep volume of heart Victoria setup with a helmet light and a light bar grabbed the holeshot and rode into the night with the pack in tow She succumbed to pressure during the first lap and was passed but maintained her second place to the finish Drama did not
escape Victoria however as during her last lap her front brake line failed Fortunately the gap to third was sufficient for her to make it to the finish without further incident in second place Once she replaced her brake line and maintained her Valley Motosports Husaberg TE 250 Victoria lined up for the day race the Big Rooster Victoria started in fifth rode hard for over 3 hours and finished just behind her starting position in 6th
Normally battling for the lead the 25 hour event from the night before took its toll on Victoriarsquos energy levels for the day event It was a great effort from Victoria to maintain her 3 position in the series with 4 events left

Gagnon Claims Screamin Eagle Top Fuel Title
2012 UEM Superbike Twin Champion Nate Gagnon can now add the 2013 Screamin Eagle Top Fuel Championship to his resume
Arriving at the Canadian Motorcycle Drag Racing Association Season Finals presented by Blackjacks Roadhouse at Edmontons Castrol Raceway Gagnon held a narrow lead over reigning Top Fuel Champion Damian Cownden in the season standings leaving the title up for grabs during the September 7th and 8th event Despite losing to ASB Racings Mike Pelrine in the final elimination round Gagnon and his Big Kids Racing Team secured the season championship by defeating Cownden in the semi finals
Al Miles wrapped up a perfect season in the Screaminrsquo Eagle Pro Dragster division when mechanical issues kept number one qualifier Doug Casson from racing Miles in the final The accomplishments of Milesrsquo FFR Racing Team were recognized at the yearend banquet
where Miles received the Dennis Mark Memorial Award for Outstanding Achievement Long time FFR crew chief Jerry Gordon was the recipient of the Wrench of the Year award as well as the Trev Deeley Memorial Award recognizing Contribution amp Dedication to Canadian Motorcycle Drag Racing

Pro Street saw Rob Aston and Ethan Barkley reset the benchmarks for this class in Canada Trailing in the season standings Barkley left nothing in the trailer putting down his best runs of the year including a new CMDRA Pro Street Mile per Hour record of 19267
Astonrsquos response was equally impressive as he achieved new records for 18th mile ET and MPH as well as the new CMDRA Pro Street 14 mile ET record of 7429 seconds enroute to victory and his first CMDRA Pro Street Championship

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

There is often an annual provincial rally and like this year (just last weekend) a bi-annual event that hosted over 200 lady riders from
across Canada and the USA in Kannaskis AB at a first class eventconference Membership within WITW does not have to be exclusive you can belong to other riding groups and clubs as well If there are enough women who are interested in finding out how this would work whatrsquos involved etchellip we will set a date to connect over coffeedrinks and discuss Expressing interest by no means commits you to joining the club The Saskatoon chapter strongly supports the creation of a Regina chapter and would help us get things rolling If you are a lady and you ride and you have interest in finding out more please email me with your name and phone number and should we get enough interest I will let you know the date to connect Gentleman if you know a lady rider that you think may be interested please pass this along

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose

Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest
The Busted Knuckle Chronicles September 19 2013 Page 47International News amp ON Events
Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Well I have to say itrsquos been quite a summer I got out to a whole ton of fun events did a lot of riding for charity enjoyed time with my VRAC buddies and put a fair number of miles on the bike Up until last week I also was busy planning
to make the trek across the pond along with Belt Drive Betty to tour Ireland for a couple of weeks and that was going to be a lot of funhellip but I screwed up
Along with riding I also started playing bass again and so I figured that the pain I was feeling in my hands and forearms was due to that activity which I havenrsquot done much of for seven or eight years
So I noticed on longer rides that I was having some numbness and by the end of 4-5 hours in the saddle it was getting tough to use the front brake Not good obviously and Irsquove had carpal tunnel syndrome for years and know the signs so I decided I better put the bass down and ease up on the longer rides so I could be rested for Ireland Thatrsquos when the world went sideways because it just kept getting worse So I contacted the appropriate Doctor and discovered that my long dormant (and nearly forgotten) carpal had flared up Irsquod let it go too long and now wersquore into some serious issues
The long and the short here is that I ignored
the messages I was getting and now Irsquove screwed up my arm to the point where Belt Drive Betty is forced to look for another riding partner I have to miss out on an amazing trip and Irsquom pretty much parked for the rest of the year and enjoying acupuncture with electrical stimulation SO FUN
What Irsquom getting at here is that we often forget in the heat of the moment or the joy of riding that we have to watch out for our health while wersquore out there Not only the obvious things like muscle strains sunburn and bug bites but some of the less obvious too
On longer trips itrsquos important to pack a supply of water because not only is dehydration VERY bad for your health it causes muscle cramps and headaches both of which are detrimental to your riding skills If yoursquore on any kind of prescriptions you should take a dayrsquos supply (at least) along with you just in case you break down or get trapped by weather and canrsquot get home to your meds
For those who have diabetes keeping hydrated is a massive part of controlling blood sugars and making sure that you have meds and snacks along can literally be a lifesaver
Speaking of chronic conditions if you are a Medic Alert wearer or such thing make sure you have it along that your riding buddies know your conditions (NOT just your passenger if you have one if you go down they may not be able to speak for you) and that they know where to find an information card or braceletdogtag Make sure any such
alert devices and cards are kept up to date as well and list any and all meds yoursquore on Emergency info devices that attach to your helmet are also available if yoursquore interested you can check those out as well
Beyond all that you also need to make sure that yoursquore rested before attempting a long ride that yoursquore ready and able for the trip and that you be realistic about your health and if you cannot safely ride tell your buddies and back out I think theyrsquod rather have you alive and riding next time than take a chance on your life and those around you

In the end itrsquos my own lack of attention that cost me a trip to Ireland and created a huge concern for Belt Drive Betty and I apologize to her for that No it wasnrsquot something Irsquove had to deal with lately and the severity is a surprise but if Irsquod been more conscious of what was happening I might have avoided all this and been able to hoist a REAL Kilkenny IN Kilkenny
So ride safe ride long and ride healthy Renee I will be thinking of you on that trip and sending positive thoughts the whole time

Wardlow AB The 26th Annual Crowsnest Cross Country hosted by the Brooks Motorcycle Club and organized by CGRT sponsor David French of AampE Racing ran on the Labour Day long weekend
Sadly CGRT was not able to be represented as first year pro Ryan Linderman was still healing from a broken bone in his hand that required surgery in early August Shane Cuthbertson who has won this event numerous times suffered from an infection in his elbow and spent the weekend at home on IV antibiotics
Carrying the CGRT torch was Victoria
Hett who tested her fitness and stamina by competing in the Night Rooster and the Big Rooster both events hosted by the Pentictoin Off Road Motorcycle Club The Night Rooster is a 25 hour hare scrambles starting at 8pm
requiring lights and a deep volume of heart Victoria setup with a helmet light and a light bar grabbed the holeshot and rode into the night with the pack in tow She succumbed to pressure during the first lap and was passed but maintained her second place to the finish Drama did not
escape Victoria however as during her last lap her front brake line failed Fortunately the gap to third was sufficient for her to make it to the finish without further incident in second place Once she replaced her brake line and maintained her Valley Motosports Husaberg TE 250 Victoria lined up for the day race the Big Rooster Victoria started in fifth rode hard for over 3 hours and finished just behind her starting position in 6th
Normally battling for the lead the 25 hour event from the night before took its toll on Victoriarsquos energy levels for the day event It was a great effort from Victoria to maintain her 3 position in the series with 4 events left

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

Women in the Wind
I am interested in starting up a Women in the Wind (WITW) motorcycle chapter within Regina for lady riders and looking to find others who may have interest in joining as well To read about the history of WITW and see where other chapters are located the official national website is here httpwwwwomeninthewindorg This national motorcycle club has several chapters across Canada including Saskatoon Membership is open to all lady riders all makes and models of motorcycles and all levels of experience This is more about a bunch of ladies uniting to ride and socialize together
There is often an annual provincial rally and like this year (just last weekend) a bi-annual event that hosted over 200 lady riders from
across Canada and the USA in Kannaskis AB at a first class eventconference Membership within WITW does not have to be exclusive you can belong to other riding groups and clubs as well If there are enough women who are interested in finding out how this would work whatrsquos involved etchellip we will set a date to connect over coffeedrinks and discuss Expressing interest by no means commits you to joining the club The Saskatoon chapter strongly supports the creation of a Regina chapter and would help us get things rolling If you are a lady and you ride and you have interest in finding out more please email me with your name and phone number and should we get enough interest I will let you know the date to connect Gentleman if you know a lady rider that you think may be interested please pass this along
Thank you in advance SincerelyShelly-Anne Shellyanne888gmailcomCell 306-501-5820

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles September 19 2013 Page 38SOT - Long Walk to Sanity amp Poem
Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Well I have to say itrsquos been quite a summer I got out to a whole ton of fun events did a lot of riding for charity enjoyed time with my VRAC buddies and put a fair number of miles on the bike Up until last week I also was busy planning
to make the trek across the pond along with Belt Drive Betty to tour Ireland for a couple of weeks and that was going to be a lot of funhellip but I screwed up
Along with riding I also started playing bass again and so I figured that the pain I was feeling in my hands and forearms was due to that activity which I havenrsquot done much of for seven or eight years
So I noticed on longer rides that I was having some numbness and by the end of 4-5 hours in the saddle it was getting tough to use the front brake Not good obviously and Irsquove had carpal tunnel syndrome for years and know the signs so I decided I better put the bass down and ease up on the longer rides so I could be rested for Ireland Thatrsquos when the world went sideways because it just kept getting worse So I contacted the appropriate Doctor and discovered that my long dormant (and nearly forgotten) carpal had flared up Irsquod let it go too long and now wersquore into some serious issues
The long and the short here is that I ignored
the messages I was getting and now Irsquove screwed up my arm to the point where Belt Drive Betty is forced to look for another riding partner I have to miss out on an amazing trip and Irsquom pretty much parked for the rest of the year and enjoying acupuncture with electrical stimulation SO FUN
What Irsquom getting at here is that we often forget in the heat of the moment or the joy of riding that we have to watch out for our health while wersquore out there Not only the obvious things like muscle strains sunburn and bug bites but some of the less obvious too
On longer trips itrsquos important to pack a supply of water because not only is dehydration VERY bad for your health it causes muscle cramps and headaches both of which are detrimental to your riding skills If yoursquore on any kind of prescriptions you should take a dayrsquos supply (at least) along with you just in case you break down or get trapped by weather and canrsquot get home to your meds
For those who have diabetes keeping hydrated is a massive part of controlling blood sugars and making sure that you have meds and snacks along can literally be a lifesaver
Speaking of chronic conditions if you are a Medic Alert wearer or such thing make sure you have it along that your riding buddies know your conditions (NOT just your passenger if you have one if you go down they may not be able to speak for you) and that they know where to find an information card or braceletdogtag Make sure any such
alert devices and cards are kept up to date as well and list any and all meds yoursquore on Emergency info devices that attach to your helmet are also available if yoursquore interested you can check those out as well
Beyond all that you also need to make sure that yoursquore rested before attempting a long ride that yoursquore ready and able for the trip and that you be realistic about your health and if you cannot safely ride tell your buddies and back out I think theyrsquod rather have you alive and riding next time than take a chance on your life and those around you

In the end itrsquos my own lack of attention that cost me a trip to Ireland and created a huge concern for Belt Drive Betty and I apologize to her for that No it wasnrsquot something Irsquove had to deal with lately and the severity is a surprise but if Irsquod been more conscious of what was happening I might have avoided all this and been able to hoist a REAL Kilkenny IN Kilkenny
So ride safe ride long and ride healthy Renee I will be thinking of you on that trip and sending positive thoughts the whole time

Wardlow AB The 26th Annual Crowsnest Cross Country hosted by the Brooks Motorcycle Club and organized by CGRT sponsor David French of AampE Racing ran on the Labour Day long weekend
Sadly CGRT was not able to be represented as first year pro Ryan Linderman was still healing from a broken bone in his hand that required surgery in early August Shane Cuthbertson who has won this event numerous times suffered from an infection in his elbow and spent the weekend at home on IV antibiotics
Carrying the CGRT torch was Victoria
Hett who tested her fitness and stamina by competing in the Night Rooster and the Big Rooster both events hosted by the Pentictoin Off Road Motorcycle Club The Night Rooster is a 25 hour hare scrambles starting at 8pm
requiring lights and a deep volume of heart Victoria setup with a helmet light and a light bar grabbed the holeshot and rode into the night with the pack in tow She succumbed to pressure during the first lap and was passed but maintained her second place to the finish Drama did not
escape Victoria however as during her last lap her front brake line failed Fortunately the gap to third was sufficient for her to make it to the finish without further incident in second place Once she replaced her brake line and maintained her Valley Motosports Husaberg TE 250 Victoria lined up for the day race the Big Rooster Victoria started in fifth rode hard for over 3 hours and finished just behind her starting position in 6th
Normally battling for the lead the 25 hour event from the night before took its toll on Victoriarsquos energy levels for the day event It was a great effort from Victoria to maintain her 3 position in the series with 4 events left

Gagnon Claims Screamin Eagle Top Fuel Title
2012 UEM Superbike Twin Champion Nate Gagnon can now add the 2013 Screamin Eagle Top Fuel Championship to his resume
Arriving at the Canadian Motorcycle Drag Racing Association Season Finals presented by Blackjacks Roadhouse at Edmontons Castrol Raceway Gagnon held a narrow lead over reigning Top Fuel Champion Damian Cownden in the season standings leaving the title up for grabs during the September 7th and 8th event Despite losing to ASB Racings Mike Pelrine in the final elimination round Gagnon and his Big Kids Racing Team secured the season championship by defeating Cownden in the semi finals
Al Miles wrapped up a perfect season in the Screaminrsquo Eagle Pro Dragster division when mechanical issues kept number one qualifier Doug Casson from racing Miles in the final The accomplishments of Milesrsquo FFR Racing Team were recognized at the yearend banquet
where Miles received the Dennis Mark Memorial Award for Outstanding Achievement Long time FFR crew chief Jerry Gordon was the recipient of the Wrench of the Year award as well as the Trev Deeley Memorial Award recognizing Contribution amp Dedication to Canadian Motorcycle Drag Racing

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Dover to collect toys for children in military families
Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

ACCEL INTRODUCES HIGH-PERFORMANCE IGNITION COIL FOR
HARLEY-DAVIDSON TWIN-CAM OWNERS
bull Stealth SuperCoil Eliminates Need For Ignition Wires Permanently Mounts Coil To Spark Plugbull Delivers Up To 20 More Voltage Than OE Ignition For Quicker Engine Starting and Better Throttle Response bull Easy Cosmetic Upgrade For a Custom Clean Appearance Requires No Cutting or Splicing Wires CLEVELAND (September 11 2013) ndash Prestolite Performance an aftermarket parts manufacturer of brands including Mr Gasket ACCEL Hays Lakewood and Mallory today introduced its all-new ACCEL Stealth SuperCoils a patent pending ignition coil that gives Harley-Davidsonreg twin-cam owners a new option to improve the look and performance of their bikes
ACCEL Stealth SuperCoils hide all ignition wiring in the head of the coil pack eliminating the need for ugly spark plug wires and provide quicker engine starting and improved throttle response while offering a clean custom look Available in either black or
natural finishes the Stealth SuperCoils mount directly to the spark plug and feature a cross functional aluminum cast cover that acts as a heat sink pulling heat away from the cylinder heads ldquoWersquove taken proven automotive technology and adopted it to the Harley-Davidson twin-cam engine bringing to market a product that seamlessly combines a hot new look with the unmatched ignition performance that ACCEL is known forrdquo said Jason Ellison Product and Sales Manager for the ACCEL Powersports division ldquoThe increase in performance Irsquove experienced first-hand during test rides is impressive and wersquore incredibly excited to introduce this innovative productrdquo
ACCELrsquos new coil system requires no cutting or splicing of the factory wiring harness Thanks to high quality Delphi connectors installation is a simple plug and play affair The coil itself boasts a faster rise time and higher voltage than the traditional system meaning the plugs receive maximum spark energy
and perform even better As with all ACCEL SuperCoils the Stealth SuperCoils are covered by ACCELrsquos famous limited lifetime warranty

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Well I have to say itrsquos been quite a summer I got out to a whole ton of fun events did a lot of riding for charity enjoyed time with my VRAC buddies and put a fair number of miles on the bike Up until last week I also was busy planning
to make the trek across the pond along with Belt Drive Betty to tour Ireland for a couple of weeks and that was going to be a lot of funhellip but I screwed up
Along with riding I also started playing bass again and so I figured that the pain I was feeling in my hands and forearms was due to that activity which I havenrsquot done much of for seven or eight years
So I noticed on longer rides that I was having some numbness and by the end of 4-5 hours in the saddle it was getting tough to use the front brake Not good obviously and Irsquove had carpal tunnel syndrome for years and know the signs so I decided I better put the bass down and ease up on the longer rides so I could be rested for Ireland Thatrsquos when the world went sideways because it just kept getting worse So I contacted the appropriate Doctor and discovered that my long dormant (and nearly forgotten) carpal had flared up Irsquod let it go too long and now wersquore into some serious issues
The long and the short here is that I ignored
the messages I was getting and now Irsquove screwed up my arm to the point where Belt Drive Betty is forced to look for another riding partner I have to miss out on an amazing trip and Irsquom pretty much parked for the rest of the year and enjoying acupuncture with electrical stimulation SO FUN
What Irsquom getting at here is that we often forget in the heat of the moment or the joy of riding that we have to watch out for our health while wersquore out there Not only the obvious things like muscle strains sunburn and bug bites but some of the less obvious too
On longer trips itrsquos important to pack a supply of water because not only is dehydration VERY bad for your health it causes muscle cramps and headaches both of which are detrimental to your riding skills If yoursquore on any kind of prescriptions you should take a dayrsquos supply (at least) along with you just in case you break down or get trapped by weather and canrsquot get home to your meds
For those who have diabetes keeping hydrated is a massive part of controlling blood sugars and making sure that you have meds and snacks along can literally be a lifesaver
Speaking of chronic conditions if you are a Medic Alert wearer or such thing make sure you have it along that your riding buddies know your conditions (NOT just your passenger if you have one if you go down they may not be able to speak for you) and that they know where to find an information card or braceletdogtag Make sure any such
alert devices and cards are kept up to date as well and list any and all meds yoursquore on Emergency info devices that attach to your helmet are also available if yoursquore interested you can check those out as well
Beyond all that you also need to make sure that yoursquore rested before attempting a long ride that yoursquore ready and able for the trip and that you be realistic about your health and if you cannot safely ride tell your buddies and back out I think theyrsquod rather have you alive and riding next time than take a chance on your life and those around you

In the end itrsquos my own lack of attention that cost me a trip to Ireland and created a huge concern for Belt Drive Betty and I apologize to her for that No it wasnrsquot something Irsquove had to deal with lately and the severity is a surprise but if Irsquod been more conscious of what was happening I might have avoided all this and been able to hoist a REAL Kilkenny IN Kilkenny
So ride safe ride long and ride healthy Renee I will be thinking of you on that trip and sending positive thoughts the whole time

Wardlow AB The 26th Annual Crowsnest Cross Country hosted by the Brooks Motorcycle Club and organized by CGRT sponsor David French of AampE Racing ran on the Labour Day long weekend
Sadly CGRT was not able to be represented as first year pro Ryan Linderman was still healing from a broken bone in his hand that required surgery in early August Shane Cuthbertson who has won this event numerous times suffered from an infection in his elbow and spent the weekend at home on IV antibiotics
Carrying the CGRT torch was Victoria
Hett who tested her fitness and stamina by competing in the Night Rooster and the Big Rooster both events hosted by the Pentictoin Off Road Motorcycle Club The Night Rooster is a 25 hour hare scrambles starting at 8pm
requiring lights and a deep volume of heart Victoria setup with a helmet light and a light bar grabbed the holeshot and rode into the night with the pack in tow She succumbed to pressure during the first lap and was passed but maintained her second place to the finish Drama did not
escape Victoria however as during her last lap her front brake line failed Fortunately the gap to third was sufficient for her to make it to the finish without further incident in second place Once she replaced her brake line and maintained her Valley Motosports Husaberg TE 250 Victoria lined up for the day race the Big Rooster Victoria started in fifth rode hard for over 3 hours and finished just behind her starting position in 6th
Normally battling for the lead the 25 hour event from the night before took its toll on Victoriarsquos energy levels for the day event It was a great effort from Victoria to maintain her 3 position in the series with 4 events left

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

Raise awareness about the Soldiers who first and fore-most served our

personnel in the military field - Translation of the web site in French

- Have more information available in Canada to help Soldiers or
Veterans in distress

How are the goals achieved
The three families of our SOS Soldiers who came forward and let us know of their
need for recognition of their loved one who served our Canadian Country
Cpl Stuart Langridge Cpl Jamie McMullin
Mcpl JamesldquoBobbyrdquoSaulnier
Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest
The Busted Knuckle Chronicles September 19 2013 Page 47International News amp ON Events
Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Well I have to say itrsquos been quite a summer I got out to a whole ton of fun events did a lot of riding for charity enjoyed time with my VRAC buddies and put a fair number of miles on the bike Up until last week I also was busy planning
to make the trek across the pond along with Belt Drive Betty to tour Ireland for a couple of weeks and that was going to be a lot of funhellip but I screwed up
Along with riding I also started playing bass again and so I figured that the pain I was feeling in my hands and forearms was due to that activity which I havenrsquot done much of for seven or eight years
So I noticed on longer rides that I was having some numbness and by the end of 4-5 hours in the saddle it was getting tough to use the front brake Not good obviously and Irsquove had carpal tunnel syndrome for years and know the signs so I decided I better put the bass down and ease up on the longer rides so I could be rested for Ireland Thatrsquos when the world went sideways because it just kept getting worse So I contacted the appropriate Doctor and discovered that my long dormant (and nearly forgotten) carpal had flared up Irsquod let it go too long and now wersquore into some serious issues
The long and the short here is that I ignored
the messages I was getting and now Irsquove screwed up my arm to the point where Belt Drive Betty is forced to look for another riding partner I have to miss out on an amazing trip and Irsquom pretty much parked for the rest of the year and enjoying acupuncture with electrical stimulation SO FUN
What Irsquom getting at here is that we often forget in the heat of the moment or the joy of riding that we have to watch out for our health while wersquore out there Not only the obvious things like muscle strains sunburn and bug bites but some of the less obvious too
On longer trips itrsquos important to pack a supply of water because not only is dehydration VERY bad for your health it causes muscle cramps and headaches both of which are detrimental to your riding skills If yoursquore on any kind of prescriptions you should take a dayrsquos supply (at least) along with you just in case you break down or get trapped by weather and canrsquot get home to your meds
For those who have diabetes keeping hydrated is a massive part of controlling blood sugars and making sure that you have meds and snacks along can literally be a lifesaver
Speaking of chronic conditions if you are a Medic Alert wearer or such thing make sure you have it along that your riding buddies know your conditions (NOT just your passenger if you have one if you go down they may not be able to speak for you) and that they know where to find an information card or braceletdogtag Make sure any such
alert devices and cards are kept up to date as well and list any and all meds yoursquore on Emergency info devices that attach to your helmet are also available if yoursquore interested you can check those out as well
Beyond all that you also need to make sure that yoursquore rested before attempting a long ride that yoursquore ready and able for the trip and that you be realistic about your health and if you cannot safely ride tell your buddies and back out I think theyrsquod rather have you alive and riding next time than take a chance on your life and those around you

Continued on Next Page
In the end itrsquos my own lack of attention that cost me a trip to Ireland and created a huge concern for Belt Drive Betty and I apologize to her for that No it wasnrsquot something Irsquove had to deal with lately and the severity is a surprise but if Irsquod been more conscious of what was happening I might have avoided all this and been able to hoist a REAL Kilkenny IN Kilkenny
So ride safe ride long and ride healthy Renee I will be thinking of you on that trip and sending positive thoughts the whole time

Wardlow AB The 26th Annual Crowsnest Cross Country hosted by the Brooks Motorcycle Club and organized by CGRT sponsor David French of AampE Racing ran on the Labour Day long weekend
Sadly CGRT was not able to be represented as first year pro Ryan Linderman was still healing from a broken bone in his hand that required surgery in early August Shane Cuthbertson who has won this event numerous times suffered from an infection in his elbow and spent the weekend at home on IV antibiotics
Carrying the CGRT torch was Victoria
Hett who tested her fitness and stamina by competing in the Night Rooster and the Big Rooster both events hosted by the Pentictoin Off Road Motorcycle Club The Night Rooster is a 25 hour hare scrambles starting at 8pm
requiring lights and a deep volume of heart Victoria setup with a helmet light and a light bar grabbed the holeshot and rode into the night with the pack in tow She succumbed to pressure during the first lap and was passed but maintained her second place to the finish Drama did not
escape Victoria however as during her last lap her front brake line failed Fortunately the gap to third was sufficient for her to make it to the finish without further incident in second place Once she replaced her brake line and maintained her Valley Motosports Husaberg TE 250 Victoria lined up for the day race the Big Rooster Victoria started in fifth rode hard for over 3 hours and finished just behind her starting position in 6th
Normally battling for the lead the 25 hour event from the night before took its toll on Victoriarsquos energy levels for the day event It was a great effort from Victoria to maintain her 3 position in the series with 4 events left

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo is walking from the Hamilton Moun-tain branch of the Royal Canadian Legion to Port
Dover to collect toys for children in military families
Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Well I have to say itrsquos been quite a summer I got out to a whole ton of fun events did a lot of riding for charity enjoyed time with my VRAC buddies and put a fair number of miles on the bike Up until last week I also was busy planning
to make the trek across the pond along with Belt Drive Betty to tour Ireland for a couple of weeks and that was going to be a lot of funhellip but I screwed up
Along with riding I also started playing bass again and so I figured that the pain I was feeling in my hands and forearms was due to that activity which I havenrsquot done much of for seven or eight years
So I noticed on longer rides that I was having some numbness and by the end of 4-5 hours in the saddle it was getting tough to use the front brake Not good obviously and Irsquove had carpal tunnel syndrome for years and know the signs so I decided I better put the bass down and ease up on the longer rides so I could be rested for Ireland Thatrsquos when the world went sideways because it just kept getting worse So I contacted the appropriate Doctor and discovered that my long dormant (and nearly forgotten) carpal had flared up Irsquod let it go too long and now wersquore into some serious issues
The long and the short here is that I ignored
the messages I was getting and now Irsquove screwed up my arm to the point where Belt Drive Betty is forced to look for another riding partner I have to miss out on an amazing trip and Irsquom pretty much parked for the rest of the year and enjoying acupuncture with electrical stimulation SO FUN
What Irsquom getting at here is that we often forget in the heat of the moment or the joy of riding that we have to watch out for our health while wersquore out there Not only the obvious things like muscle strains sunburn and bug bites but some of the less obvious too
On longer trips itrsquos important to pack a supply of water because not only is dehydration VERY bad for your health it causes muscle cramps and headaches both of which are detrimental to your riding skills If yoursquore on any kind of prescriptions you should take a dayrsquos supply (at least) along with you just in case you break down or get trapped by weather and canrsquot get home to your meds
For those who have diabetes keeping hydrated is a massive part of controlling blood sugars and making sure that you have meds and snacks along can literally be a lifesaver
Speaking of chronic conditions if you are a Medic Alert wearer or such thing make sure you have it along that your riding buddies know your conditions (NOT just your passenger if you have one if you go down they may not be able to speak for you) and that they know where to find an information card or braceletdogtag Make sure any such
alert devices and cards are kept up to date as well and list any and all meds yoursquore on Emergency info devices that attach to your helmet are also available if yoursquore interested you can check those out as well
Beyond all that you also need to make sure that yoursquore rested before attempting a long ride that yoursquore ready and able for the trip and that you be realistic about your health and if you cannot safely ride tell your buddies and back out I think theyrsquod rather have you alive and riding next time than take a chance on your life and those around you

In the end itrsquos my own lack of attention that cost me a trip to Ireland and created a huge concern for Belt Drive Betty and I apologize to her for that No it wasnrsquot something Irsquove had to deal with lately and the severity is a surprise but if Irsquod been more conscious of what was happening I might have avoided all this and been able to hoist a REAL Kilkenny IN Kilkenny
So ride safe ride long and ride healthy Renee I will be thinking of you on that trip and sending positive thoughts the whole time

Wardlow AB The 26th Annual Crowsnest Cross Country hosted by the Brooks Motorcycle Club and organized by CGRT sponsor David French of AampE Racing ran on the Labour Day long weekend
Sadly CGRT was not able to be represented as first year pro Ryan Linderman was still healing from a broken bone in his hand that required surgery in early August Shane Cuthbertson who has won this event numerous times suffered from an infection in his elbow and spent the weekend at home on IV antibiotics
Carrying the CGRT torch was Victoria
Hett who tested her fitness and stamina by competing in the Night Rooster and the Big Rooster both events hosted by the Pentictoin Off Road Motorcycle Club The Night Rooster is a 25 hour hare scrambles starting at 8pm
requiring lights and a deep volume of heart Victoria setup with a helmet light and a light bar grabbed the holeshot and rode into the night with the pack in tow She succumbed to pressure during the first lap and was passed but maintained her second place to the finish Drama did not
escape Victoria however as during her last lap her front brake line failed Fortunately the gap to third was sufficient for her to make it to the finish without further incident in second place Once she replaced her brake line and maintained her Valley Motosports Husaberg TE 250 Victoria lined up for the day race the Big Rooster Victoria started in fifth rode hard for over 3 hours and finished just behind her starting position in 6th
Normally battling for the lead the 25 hour event from the night before took its toll on Victoriarsquos energy levels for the day event It was a great effort from Victoria to maintain her 3 position in the series with 4 events left

Gagnon Claims Screamin Eagle Top Fuel Title
2012 UEM Superbike Twin Champion Nate Gagnon can now add the 2013 Screamin Eagle Top Fuel Championship to his resume
Arriving at the Canadian Motorcycle Drag Racing Association Season Finals presented by Blackjacks Roadhouse at Edmontons Castrol Raceway Gagnon held a narrow lead over reigning Top Fuel Champion Damian Cownden in the season standings leaving the title up for grabs during the September 7th and 8th event Despite losing to ASB Racings Mike Pelrine in the final elimination round Gagnon and his Big Kids Racing Team secured the season championship by defeating Cownden in the semi finals
Al Miles wrapped up a perfect season in the Screaminrsquo Eagle Pro Dragster division when mechanical issues kept number one qualifier Doug Casson from racing Miles in the final The accomplishments of Milesrsquo FFR Racing Team were recognized at the yearend banquet
where Miles received the Dennis Mark Memorial Award for Outstanding Achievement Long time FFR crew chief Jerry Gordon was the recipient of the Wrench of the Year award as well as the Trev Deeley Memorial Award recognizing Contribution amp Dedication to Canadian Motorcycle Drag Racing

Pro Street saw Rob Aston and Ethan Barkley reset the benchmarks for this class in Canada Trailing in the season standings Barkley left nothing in the trailer putting down his best runs of the year including a new CMDRA Pro Street Mile per Hour record of 19267
Astonrsquos response was equally impressive as he achieved new records for 18th mile ET and MPH as well as the new CMDRA Pro Street 14 mile ET record of 7429 seconds enroute to victory and his first CMDRA Pro Street Championship

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

There is often an annual provincial rally and like this year (just last weekend) a bi-annual event that hosted over 200 lady riders from
across Canada and the USA in Kannaskis AB at a first class eventconference Membership within WITW does not have to be exclusive you can belong to other riding groups and clubs as well If there are enough women who are interested in finding out how this would work whatrsquos involved etchellip we will set a date to connect over coffeedrinks and discuss Expressing interest by no means commits you to joining the club The Saskatoon chapter strongly supports the creation of a Regina chapter and would help us get things rolling If you are a lady and you ride and you have interest in finding out more please email me with your name and phone number and should we get enough interest I will let you know the date to connect Gentleman if you know a lady rider that you think may be interested please pass this along

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose

Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest
The Busted Knuckle Chronicles September 19 2013 Page 47International News amp ON Events
Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

ACCEL INTRODUCES HIGH-PERFORMANCE IGNITION COIL FOR
HARLEY-DAVIDSON TWIN-CAM OWNERS
bull Stealth SuperCoil Eliminates Need For Ignition Wires Permanently Mounts Coil To Spark Plugbull Delivers Up To 20 More Voltage Than OE Ignition For Quicker Engine Starting and Better Throttle Response bull Easy Cosmetic Upgrade For a Custom Clean Appearance Requires No Cutting or Splicing Wires CLEVELAND (September 11 2013) ndash Prestolite Performance an aftermarket parts manufacturer of brands including Mr Gasket ACCEL Hays Lakewood and Mallory today introduced its all-new ACCEL Stealth SuperCoils a patent pending ignition coil that gives Harley-Davidsonreg twin-cam owners a new option to improve the look and performance of their bikes
ACCEL Stealth SuperCoils hide all ignition wiring in the head of the coil pack eliminating the need for ugly spark plug wires and provide quicker engine starting and improved throttle response while offering a clean custom look Available in either black or
natural finishes the Stealth SuperCoils mount directly to the spark plug and feature a cross functional aluminum cast cover that acts as a heat sink pulling heat away from the cylinder heads ldquoWersquove taken proven automotive technology and adopted it to the Harley-Davidson twin-cam engine bringing to market a product that seamlessly combines a hot new look with the unmatched ignition performance that ACCEL is known forrdquo said Jason Ellison Product and Sales Manager for the ACCEL Powersports division ldquoThe increase in performance Irsquove experienced first-hand during test rides is impressive and wersquore incredibly excited to introduce this innovative productrdquo
ACCELrsquos new coil system requires no cutting or splicing of the factory wiring harness Thanks to high quality Delphi connectors installation is a simple plug and play affair The coil itself boasts a faster rise time and higher voltage than the traditional system meaning the plugs receive maximum spark energy
and perform even better As with all ACCEL SuperCoils the Stealth SuperCoils are covered by ACCELrsquos famous limited lifetime warranty

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

In the end itrsquos my own lack of attention that cost me a trip to Ireland and created a huge concern for Belt Drive Betty and I apologize to her for that No it wasnrsquot something Irsquove had to deal with lately and the severity is a surprise but if Irsquod been more conscious of what was happening I might have avoided all this and been able to hoist a REAL Kilkenny IN Kilkenny
So ride safe ride long and ride healthy Renee I will be thinking of you on that trip and sending positive thoughts the whole time

Wardlow AB The 26th Annual Crowsnest Cross Country hosted by the Brooks Motorcycle Club and organized by CGRT sponsor David French of AampE Racing ran on the Labour Day long weekend
Sadly CGRT was not able to be represented as first year pro Ryan Linderman was still healing from a broken bone in his hand that required surgery in early August Shane Cuthbertson who has won this event numerous times suffered from an infection in his elbow and spent the weekend at home on IV antibiotics
Carrying the CGRT torch was Victoria
Hett who tested her fitness and stamina by competing in the Night Rooster and the Big Rooster both events hosted by the Pentictoin Off Road Motorcycle Club The Night Rooster is a 25 hour hare scrambles starting at 8pm
requiring lights and a deep volume of heart Victoria setup with a helmet light and a light bar grabbed the holeshot and rode into the night with the pack in tow She succumbed to pressure during the first lap and was passed but maintained her second place to the finish Drama did not
escape Victoria however as during her last lap her front brake line failed Fortunately the gap to third was sufficient for her to make it to the finish without further incident in second place Once she replaced her brake line and maintained her Valley Motosports Husaberg TE 250 Victoria lined up for the day race the Big Rooster Victoria started in fifth rode hard for over 3 hours and finished just behind her starting position in 6th
Normally battling for the lead the 25 hour event from the night before took its toll on Victoriarsquos energy levels for the day event It was a great effort from Victoria to maintain her 3 position in the series with 4 events left

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

across Canada and the USA in Kannaskis AB at a first class eventconference Membership within WITW does not have to be exclusive you can belong to other riding groups and clubs as well If there are enough women who are interested in finding out how this would work whatrsquos involved etchellip we will set a date to connect over coffeedrinks and discuss Expressing interest by no means commits you to joining the club The Saskatoon chapter strongly supports the creation of a Regina chapter and would help us get things rolling If you are a lady and you ride and you have interest in finding out more please email me with your name and phone number and should we get enough interest I will let you know the date to connect Gentleman if you know a lady rider that you think may be interested please pass this along
Thank you in advance SincerelyShelly-Anne Shellyanne888gmailcomCell 306-501-5820

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo is walking from the Hamilton Moun-tain branch of the Royal Canadian Legion to Port
Dover to collect toys for children in military families
Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Wardlow AB The 26th Annual Crowsnest Cross Country hosted by the Brooks Motorcycle Club and organized by CGRT sponsor David French of AampE Racing ran on the Labour Day long weekend
Sadly CGRT was not able to be represented as first year pro Ryan Linderman was still healing from a broken bone in his hand that required surgery in early August Shane Cuthbertson who has won this event numerous times suffered from an infection in his elbow and spent the weekend at home on IV antibiotics
Carrying the CGRT torch was Victoria
Hett who tested her fitness and stamina by competing in the Night Rooster and the Big Rooster both events hosted by the Pentictoin Off Road Motorcycle Club The Night Rooster is a 25 hour hare scrambles starting at 8pm
requiring lights and a deep volume of heart Victoria setup with a helmet light and a light bar grabbed the holeshot and rode into the night with the pack in tow She succumbed to pressure during the first lap and was passed but maintained her second place to the finish Drama did not
escape Victoria however as during her last lap her front brake line failed Fortunately the gap to third was sufficient for her to make it to the finish without further incident in second place Once she replaced her brake line and maintained her Valley Motosports Husaberg TE 250 Victoria lined up for the day race the Big Rooster Victoria started in fifth rode hard for over 3 hours and finished just behind her starting position in 6th
Normally battling for the lead the 25 hour event from the night before took its toll on Victoriarsquos energy levels for the day event It was a great effort from Victoria to maintain her 3 position in the series with 4 events left

2012 UEM Superbike Twin Champion Nate Gagnon can now add the 2013 Screamin Eagle Top Fuel Championship to his resume
Arriving at the Canadian Motorcycle Drag Racing Association Season Finals presented by Blackjacks Roadhouse at Edmontons Castrol Raceway Gagnon held a narrow lead over reigning Top Fuel Champion Damian Cownden in the season standings leaving the title up for grabs during the September 7th and 8th event Despite losing to ASB Racings Mike Pelrine in the final elimination round Gagnon and his Big Kids Racing Team secured the season championship by defeating Cownden in the semi finals

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

There is often an annual provincial rally and like this year (just last weekend) a bi-annual event that hosted over 200 lady riders from
across Canada and the USA in Kannaskis AB at a first class eventconference Membership within WITW does not have to be exclusive you can belong to other riding groups and clubs as well If there are enough women who are interested in finding out how this would work whatrsquos involved etchellip we will set a date to connect over coffeedrinks and discuss Expressing interest by no means commits you to joining the club The Saskatoon chapter strongly supports the creation of a Regina chapter and would help us get things rolling If you are a lady and you ride and you have interest in finding out more please email me with your name and phone number and should we get enough interest I will let you know the date to connect Gentleman if you know a lady rider that you think may be interested please pass this along

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest
The Busted Knuckle Chronicles September 19 2013 Page 47International News amp ON Events
Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Wardlow AB The 26th Annual Crowsnest Cross Country hosted by the Brooks Motorcycle Club and organized by CGRT sponsor David French of AampE Racing ran on the Labour Day long weekend
Sadly CGRT was not able to be represented as first year pro Ryan Linderman was still healing from a broken bone in his hand that required surgery in early August Shane Cuthbertson who has won this event numerous times suffered from an infection in his elbow and spent the weekend at home on IV antibiotics
Carrying the CGRT torch was Victoria
Hett who tested her fitness and stamina by competing in the Night Rooster and the Big Rooster both events hosted by the Pentictoin Off Road Motorcycle Club The Night Rooster is a 25 hour hare scrambles starting at 8pm
requiring lights and a deep volume of heart Victoria setup with a helmet light and a light bar grabbed the holeshot and rode into the night with the pack in tow She succumbed to pressure during the first lap and was passed but maintained her second place to the finish Drama did not
escape Victoria however as during her last lap her front brake line failed Fortunately the gap to third was sufficient for her to make it to the finish without further incident in second place Once she replaced her brake line and maintained her Valley Motosports Husaberg TE 250 Victoria lined up for the day race the Big Rooster Victoria started in fifth rode hard for over 3 hours and finished just behind her starting position in 6th
Normally battling for the lead the 25 hour event from the night before took its toll on Victoriarsquos energy levels for the day event It was a great effort from Victoria to maintain her 3 position in the series with 4 events left

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo is walking from the Hamilton Moun-tain branch of the Royal Canadian Legion to Port
Dover to collect toys for children in military families
Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Wardlow AB The 26th Annual Crowsnest Cross Country hosted by the Brooks Motorcycle Club and organized by CGRT sponsor David French of AampE Racing ran on the Labour Day long weekend
Sadly CGRT was not able to be represented as first year pro Ryan Linderman was still healing from a broken bone in his hand that required surgery in early August Shane Cuthbertson who has won this event numerous times suffered from an infection in his elbow and spent the weekend at home on IV antibiotics
Carrying the CGRT torch was Victoria
Hett who tested her fitness and stamina by competing in the Night Rooster and the Big Rooster both events hosted by the Pentictoin Off Road Motorcycle Club The Night Rooster is a 25 hour hare scrambles starting at 8pm
requiring lights and a deep volume of heart Victoria setup with a helmet light and a light bar grabbed the holeshot and rode into the night with the pack in tow She succumbed to pressure during the first lap and was passed but maintained her second place to the finish Drama did not
escape Victoria however as during her last lap her front brake line failed Fortunately the gap to third was sufficient for her to make it to the finish without further incident in second place Once she replaced her brake line and maintained her Valley Motosports Husaberg TE 250 Victoria lined up for the day race the Big Rooster Victoria started in fifth rode hard for over 3 hours and finished just behind her starting position in 6th
Normally battling for the lead the 25 hour event from the night before took its toll on Victoriarsquos energy levels for the day event It was a great effort from Victoria to maintain her 3 position in the series with 4 events left

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

Women in the Wind
I am interested in starting up a Women in the Wind (WITW) motorcycle chapter within Regina for lady riders and looking to find others who may have interest in joining as well To read about the history of WITW and see where other chapters are located the official national website is here httpwwwwomeninthewindorg This national motorcycle club has several chapters across Canada including Saskatoon Membership is open to all lady riders all makes and models of motorcycles and all levels of experience This is more about a bunch of ladies uniting to ride and socialize together
There is often an annual provincial rally and like this year (just last weekend) a bi-annual event that hosted over 200 lady riders from
across Canada and the USA in Kannaskis AB at a first class eventconference Membership within WITW does not have to be exclusive you can belong to other riding groups and clubs as well If there are enough women who are interested in finding out how this would work whatrsquos involved etchellip we will set a date to connect over coffeedrinks and discuss Expressing interest by no means commits you to joining the club The Saskatoon chapter strongly supports the creation of a Regina chapter and would help us get things rolling If you are a lady and you ride and you have interest in finding out more please email me with your name and phone number and should we get enough interest I will let you know the date to connect Gentleman if you know a lady rider that you think may be interested please pass this along
Thank you in advance SincerelyShelly-Anne Shellyanne888gmailcomCell 306-501-5820

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose

Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Wardlow AB The 26th Annual Crowsnest Cross Country hosted by the Brooks Motorcycle Club and organized by CGRT sponsor David French of AampE Racing ran on the Labour Day long weekend
Sadly CGRT was not able to be represented as first year pro Ryan Linderman was still healing from a broken bone in his hand that required surgery in early August Shane Cuthbertson who has won this event numerous times suffered from an infection in his elbow and spent the weekend at home on IV antibiotics
Carrying the CGRT torch was Victoria
Hett who tested her fitness and stamina by competing in the Night Rooster and the Big Rooster both events hosted by the Pentictoin Off Road Motorcycle Club The Night Rooster is a 25 hour hare scrambles starting at 8pm
requiring lights and a deep volume of heart Victoria setup with a helmet light and a light bar grabbed the holeshot and rode into the night with the pack in tow She succumbed to pressure during the first lap and was passed but maintained her second place to the finish Drama did not
escape Victoria however as during her last lap her front brake line failed Fortunately the gap to third was sufficient for her to make it to the finish without further incident in second place Once she replaced her brake line and maintained her Valley Motosports Husaberg TE 250 Victoria lined up for the day race the Big Rooster Victoria started in fifth rode hard for over 3 hours and finished just behind her starting position in 6th
Normally battling for the lead the 25 hour event from the night before took its toll on Victoriarsquos energy levels for the day event It was a great effort from Victoria to maintain her 3 position in the series with 4 events left

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest
The Busted Knuckle Chronicles September 19 2013 Page 47International News amp ON Events
Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

HARLEY-DAVIDSON TWIN-CAM OWNERS
bull Stealth SuperCoil Eliminates Need For Ignition Wires Permanently Mounts Coil To Spark Plugbull Delivers Up To 20 More Voltage Than OE Ignition For Quicker Engine Starting and Better Throttle Response bull Easy Cosmetic Upgrade For a Custom Clean Appearance Requires No Cutting or Splicing Wires CLEVELAND (September 11 2013) ndash Prestolite Performance an aftermarket parts manufacturer of brands including Mr Gasket ACCEL Hays Lakewood and Mallory today introduced its all-new ACCEL Stealth SuperCoils a patent pending ignition coil that gives Harley-Davidsonreg twin-cam owners a new option to improve the look and performance of their bikes
ACCEL Stealth SuperCoils hide all ignition wiring in the head of the coil pack eliminating the need for ugly spark plug wires and provide quicker engine starting and improved throttle response while offering a clean custom look Available in either black or
natural finishes the Stealth SuperCoils mount directly to the spark plug and feature a cross functional aluminum cast cover that acts as a heat sink pulling heat away from the cylinder heads ldquoWersquove taken proven automotive technology and adopted it to the Harley-Davidson twin-cam engine bringing to market a product that seamlessly combines a hot new look with the unmatched ignition performance that ACCEL is known forrdquo said Jason Ellison Product and Sales Manager for the ACCEL Powersports division ldquoThe increase in performance Irsquove experienced first-hand during test rides is impressive and wersquore incredibly excited to introduce this innovative productrdquo
ACCELrsquos new coil system requires no cutting or splicing of the factory wiring harness Thanks to high quality Delphi connectors installation is a simple plug and play affair The coil itself boasts a faster rise time and higher voltage than the traditional system meaning the plugs receive maximum spark energy

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Wardlow AB The 26th Annual Crowsnest Cross Country hosted by the Brooks Motorcycle Club and organized by CGRT sponsor David French of AampE Racing ran on the Labour Day long weekend
Sadly CGRT was not able to be represented as first year pro Ryan Linderman was still healing from a broken bone in his hand that required surgery in early August Shane Cuthbertson who has won this event numerous times suffered from an infection in his elbow and spent the weekend at home on IV antibiotics
Carrying the CGRT torch was Victoria
Hett who tested her fitness and stamina by competing in the Night Rooster and the Big Rooster both events hosted by the Pentictoin Off Road Motorcycle Club The Night Rooster is a 25 hour hare scrambles starting at 8pm
requiring lights and a deep volume of heart Victoria setup with a helmet light and a light bar grabbed the holeshot and rode into the night with the pack in tow She succumbed to pressure during the first lap and was passed but maintained her second place to the finish Drama did not
escape Victoria however as during her last lap her front brake line failed Fortunately the gap to third was sufficient for her to make it to the finish without further incident in second place Once she replaced her brake line and maintained her Valley Motosports Husaberg TE 250 Victoria lined up for the day race the Big Rooster Victoria started in fifth rode hard for over 3 hours and finished just behind her starting position in 6th
Normally battling for the lead the 25 hour event from the night before took its toll on Victoriarsquos energy levels for the day event It was a great effort from Victoria to maintain her 3 position in the series with 4 events left

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo is walking from the Hamilton Moun-tain branch of the Royal Canadian Legion to Port
Dover to collect toys for children in military families
Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Wardlow AB The 26th Annual Crowsnest Cross Country hosted by the Brooks Motorcycle Club and organized by CGRT sponsor David French of AampE Racing ran on the Labour Day long weekend
Sadly CGRT was not able to be represented as first year pro Ryan Linderman was still healing from a broken bone in his hand that required surgery in early August Shane Cuthbertson who has won this event numerous times suffered from an infection in his elbow and spent the weekend at home on IV antibiotics
Carrying the CGRT torch was Victoria
Hett who tested her fitness and stamina by competing in the Night Rooster and the Big Rooster both events hosted by the Pentictoin Off Road Motorcycle Club The Night Rooster is a 25 hour hare scrambles starting at 8pm
requiring lights and a deep volume of heart Victoria setup with a helmet light and a light bar grabbed the holeshot and rode into the night with the pack in tow She succumbed to pressure during the first lap and was passed but maintained her second place to the finish Drama did not
escape Victoria however as during her last lap her front brake line failed Fortunately the gap to third was sufficient for her to make it to the finish without further incident in second place Once she replaced her brake line and maintained her Valley Motosports Husaberg TE 250 Victoria lined up for the day race the Big Rooster Victoria started in fifth rode hard for over 3 hours and finished just behind her starting position in 6th
Normally battling for the lead the 25 hour event from the night before took its toll on Victoriarsquos energy levels for the day event It was a great effort from Victoria to maintain her 3 position in the series with 4 events left

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

There is often an annual provincial rally and like this year (just last weekend) a bi-annual event that hosted over 200 lady riders from
across Canada and the USA in Kannaskis AB at a first class eventconference Membership within WITW does not have to be exclusive you can belong to other riding groups and clubs as well If there are enough women who are interested in finding out how this would work whatrsquos involved etchellip we will set a date to connect over coffeedrinks and discuss Expressing interest by no means commits you to joining the club The Saskatoon chapter strongly supports the creation of a Regina chapter and would help us get things rolling If you are a lady and you ride and you have interest in finding out more please email me with your name and phone number and should we get enough interest I will let you know the date to connect Gentleman if you know a lady rider that you think may be interested please pass this along
Thank you in advance SincerelyShelly-Anne Shellyanne888gmailcomCell 306-501-5820

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo is walking from the Hamilton Moun-tain branch of the Royal Canadian Legion to Port
Dover to collect toys for children in military families
Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

Women in the Wind
I am interested in starting up a Women in the Wind (WITW) motorcycle chapter within Regina for lady riders and looking to find others who may have interest in joining as well To read about the history of WITW and see where other chapters are located the official national website is here httpwwwwomeninthewindorg This national motorcycle club has several chapters across Canada including Saskatoon Membership is open to all lady riders all makes and models of motorcycles and all levels of experience This is more about a bunch of ladies uniting to ride and socialize together
There is often an annual provincial rally and like this year (just last weekend) a bi-annual event that hosted over 200 lady riders from
across Canada and the USA in Kannaskis AB at a first class eventconference Membership within WITW does not have to be exclusive you can belong to other riding groups and clubs as well If there are enough women who are interested in finding out how this would work whatrsquos involved etchellip we will set a date to connect over coffeedrinks and discuss Expressing interest by no means commits you to joining the club The Saskatoon chapter strongly supports the creation of a Regina chapter and would help us get things rolling If you are a lady and you ride and you have interest in finding out more please email me with your name and phone number and should we get enough interest I will let you know the date to connect Gentleman if you know a lady rider that you think may be interested please pass this along
Thank you in advance SincerelyShelly-Anne Shellyanne888gmailcomCell 306-501-5820

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles September 19 2013 Page 38SOT - Long Walk to Sanity amp Poem
Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

Women in the Wind
I am interested in starting up a Women in the Wind (WITW) motorcycle chapter within Regina for lady riders and looking to find others who may have interest in joining as well To read about the history of WITW and see where other chapters are located the official national website is here httpwwwwomeninthewindorg This national motorcycle club has several chapters across Canada including Saskatoon Membership is open to all lady riders all makes and models of motorcycles and all levels of experience This is more about a bunch of ladies uniting to ride and socialize together
There is often an annual provincial rally and like this year (just last weekend) a bi-annual event that hosted over 200 lady riders from
across Canada and the USA in Kannaskis AB at a first class eventconference Membership within WITW does not have to be exclusive you can belong to other riding groups and clubs as well If there are enough women who are interested in finding out how this would work whatrsquos involved etchellip we will set a date to connect over coffeedrinks and discuss Expressing interest by no means commits you to joining the club The Saskatoon chapter strongly supports the creation of a Regina chapter and would help us get things rolling If you are a lady and you ride and you have interest in finding out more please email me with your name and phone number and should we get enough interest I will let you know the date to connect Gentleman if you know a lady rider that you think may be interested please pass this along
Thank you in advance SincerelyShelly-Anne Shellyanne888gmailcomCell 306-501-5820

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose

Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

There is often an annual provincial rally and like this year (just last weekend) a bi-annual event that hosted over 200 lady riders from
across Canada and the USA in Kannaskis AB at a first class eventconference Membership within WITW does not have to be exclusive you can belong to other riding groups and clubs as well If there are enough women who are interested in finding out how this would work whatrsquos involved etchellip we will set a date to connect over coffeedrinks and discuss Expressing interest by no means commits you to joining the club The Saskatoon chapter strongly supports the creation of a Regina chapter and would help us get things rolling If you are a lady and you ride and you have interest in finding out more please email me with your name and phone number and should we get enough interest I will let you know the date to connect Gentleman if you know a lady rider that you think may be interested please pass this along
Thank you in advance SincerelyShelly-Anne Shellyanne888gmailcomCell 306-501-5820

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo

By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

There is often an annual provincial rally and like this year (just last weekend) a bi-annual event that hosted over 200 lady riders from
across Canada and the USA in Kannaskis AB at a first class eventconference Membership within WITW does not have to be exclusive you can belong to other riding groups and clubs as well If there are enough women who are interested in finding out how this would work whatrsquos involved etchellip we will set a date to connect over coffeedrinks and discuss Expressing interest by no means commits you to joining the club The Saskatoon chapter strongly supports the creation of a Regina chapter and would help us get things rolling If you are a lady and you ride and you have interest in finding out more please email me with your name and phone number and should we get enough interest I will let you know the date to connect Gentleman if you know a lady rider that you think may be interested please pass this along

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo

By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

There is often an annual provincial rally and like this year (just last weekend) a bi-annual event that hosted over 200 lady riders from
across Canada and the USA in Kannaskis AB at a first class eventconference Membership within WITW does not have to be exclusive you can belong to other riding groups and clubs as well If there are enough women who are interested in finding out how this would work whatrsquos involved etchellip we will set a date to connect over coffeedrinks and discuss Expressing interest by no means commits you to joining the club The Saskatoon chapter strongly supports the creation of a Regina chapter and would help us get things rolling If you are a lady and you ride and you have interest in finding out more please email me with your name and phone number and should we get enough interest I will let you know the date to connect Gentleman if you know a lady rider that you think may be interested please pass this along

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo

By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Dark clouds on the horizon greet you hoping you will turn away You soldier on A cooling breeze soon you can smell the distant rain The flashes of lightening warn of upcoming difficulties but it is all the same to you Others will have turned back some
never venturing out with the possibility
The first few drops bite and sting but you ride on The calm before the storm Small gusts of wind the tops mighty oaks twisting and swaying to a song only they can hear Thunder bellows from ahead and not below
Drops of rain bead across the lens of your goggles as you push on The swirling spray of wetness you feel it under the wheels Youre not in a hurry not that you ever are A weaker man would take cover but youve ridden this before youve put the miles on and expect anticipate the rain that falls all around us
You pull into a rest stop out of habit and routine not discomfort though youll warm your hands near the motor You watch as young parents sprint to their cars while children dance and play in the warm rain A lost innocent running hiding from the rain that feeds the soil feeds the soul This day like all days is a good day to ride

Women in the Wind
I am interested in starting up a Women in the Wind (WITW) motorcycle chapter within Regina for lady riders and looking to find others who may have interest in joining as well To read about the history of WITW and see where other chapters are located the official national website is here httpwwwwomeninthewindorg This national motorcycle club has several chapters across Canada including Saskatoon Membership is open to all lady riders all makes and models of motorcycles and all levels of experience This is more about a bunch of ladies uniting to ride and socialize together
There is often an annual provincial rally and like this year (just last weekend) a bi-annual event that hosted over 200 lady riders from
across Canada and the USA in Kannaskis AB at a first class eventconference Membership within WITW does not have to be exclusive you can belong to other riding groups and clubs as well If there are enough women who are interested in finding out how this would work whatrsquos involved etchellip we will set a date to connect over coffeedrinks and discuss Expressing interest by no means commits you to joining the club The Saskatoon chapter strongly supports the creation of a Regina chapter and would help us get things rolling If you are a lady and you ride and you have interest in finding out more please email me with your name and phone number and should we get enough interest I will let you know the date to connect Gentleman if you know a lady rider that you think may be interested please pass this along

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose

Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Women in the Wind
I am interested in starting up a Women in the Wind (WITW) motorcycle chapter within Regina for lady riders and looking to find others who may have interest in joining as well To read about the history of WITW and see where other chapters are located the official national website is here httpwwwwomeninthewindorg This national motorcycle club has several chapters across Canada including Saskatoon Membership is open to all lady riders all makes and models of motorcycles and all levels of experience This is more about a bunch of ladies uniting to ride and socialize together
There is often an annual provincial rally and like this year (just last weekend) a bi-annual event that hosted over 200 lady riders from
across Canada and the USA in Kannaskis AB at a first class eventconference Membership within WITW does not have to be exclusive you can belong to other riding groups and clubs as well If there are enough women who are interested in finding out how this would work whatrsquos involved etchellip we will set a date to connect over coffeedrinks and discuss Expressing interest by no means commits you to joining the club The Saskatoon chapter strongly supports the creation of a Regina chapter and would help us get things rolling If you are a lady and you ride and you have interest in finding out more please email me with your name and phone number and should we get enough interest I will let you know the date to connect Gentleman if you know a lady rider that you think may be interested please pass this along
Thank you in advance SincerelyShelly-Anne Shellyanne888gmailcomCell 306-501-5820

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles September 19 2013 Page 38SOT - Long Walk to Sanity amp Poem
Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo is walking from the Hamilton Moun-tain branch of the Royal Canadian Legion to Port
Dover to collect toys for children in military families
Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose

Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway

ACCEL INTRODUCES HIGH-PERFORMANCE IGNITION COIL FOR
HARLEY-DAVIDSON TWIN-CAM OWNERS
bull Stealth SuperCoil Eliminates Need For Ignition Wires Permanently Mounts Coil To Spark Plugbull Delivers Up To 20 More Voltage Than OE Ignition For Quicker Engine Starting and Better Throttle Response bull Easy Cosmetic Upgrade For a Custom Clean Appearance Requires No Cutting or Splicing Wires CLEVELAND (September 11 2013) ndash Prestolite Performance an aftermarket parts manufacturer of brands including Mr Gasket ACCEL Hays Lakewood and Mallory today introduced its all-new ACCEL Stealth SuperCoils a patent pending ignition coil that gives Harley-Davidsonreg twin-cam owners a new option to improve the look and performance of their bikes
ACCEL Stealth SuperCoils hide all ignition wiring in the head of the coil pack eliminating the need for ugly spark plug wires and provide quicker engine starting and improved throttle response while offering a clean custom look Available in either black or
natural finishes the Stealth SuperCoils mount directly to the spark plug and feature a cross functional aluminum cast cover that acts as a heat sink pulling heat away from the cylinder heads ldquoWersquove taken proven automotive technology and adopted it to the Harley-Davidson twin-cam engine bringing to market a product that seamlessly combines a hot new look with the unmatched ignition performance that ACCEL is known forrdquo said Jason Ellison Product and Sales Manager for the ACCEL Powersports division ldquoThe increase in performance Irsquove experienced first-hand during test rides is impressive and wersquore incredibly excited to introduce this innovative productrdquo
ACCELrsquos new coil system requires no cutting or splicing of the factory wiring harness Thanks to high quality Delphi connectors installation is a simple plug and play affair The coil itself boasts a faster rise time and higher voltage than the traditional system meaning the plugs receive maximum spark energy
and perform even better As with all ACCEL SuperCoils the Stealth SuperCoils are covered by ACCELrsquos famous limited lifetime warranty

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose

Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Dover to collect toys for children in military families
Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

HARLEY-DAVIDSON TWIN-CAM OWNERS
bull Stealth SuperCoil Eliminates Need For Ignition Wires Permanently Mounts Coil To Spark Plugbull Delivers Up To 20 More Voltage Than OE Ignition For Quicker Engine Starting and Better Throttle Response bull Easy Cosmetic Upgrade For a Custom Clean Appearance Requires No Cutting or Splicing Wires CLEVELAND (September 11 2013) ndash Prestolite Performance an aftermarket parts manufacturer of brands including Mr Gasket ACCEL Hays Lakewood and Mallory today introduced its all-new ACCEL Stealth SuperCoils a patent pending ignition coil that gives Harley-Davidsonreg twin-cam owners a new option to improve the look and performance of their bikes

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Who inspired this project
``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Dover to collect toys for children in military families
Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest
The Busted Knuckle Chronicles September 19 2013 Page 47International News amp ON Events
Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

``It is unimaginable to think a loved one is in so much pain that he will willingly leave 18 months old and a 3 year old son Well Jamie did and his pain was so deep he could not handle it anymore``- Brenda Miller McMullin (Mother of Cpl Jamie McMullin)
``In recent years through coming to know other families and many Soldiers and Veterans we know that sadly our story is not unique Tragically there are many more victims of Soldier of Suicide and untold others now at risk``- Sheila and Shaun Fynes (Parents of Cpl Stuart Langridge)
``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

``I think it is a wonderful way of honouring and bringing awareness
about Soldiers of Suicide [hellip] To be able to tell you about my good days and bad days has helped me come
to term with the fact that Bobby was so much in that dark
place with sickness of despair and pain that he could not cope any
longer and chose death over living`` - Bev Saulnier (Mother of MCpl James

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest
The Busted Knuckle Chronicles September 19 2013 Page 47International News amp ON Events
Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Fighting Faithby Maxine Heckbert (niece of HM (Mac) Heckbert)
Again the torch of freedomrsquos passedAnother hero breathes his lastA life of brave and noble deedsSown for us as freedomrsquos seedTo guard our true north strong and freeA place of peace for you and me - the sacred pledge
I take that torch from Uncle MacIrsquoll run the race and not look backI see the foe which now we faceThe new millennium Aryan race - Religious zealots trained to hateTo overcome and dominate the worldThat God so loved
The war on terror is this worldrsquos curseFear fighting fear just makes it worseReligion angles for controlOf every human heart and soulBut only love can set us free
A life of gratitudersquos the keyLove and be loved
Look not for war planes in the skiesThe enemy hides in our own eyesAmericarsquos mirror now impartsthe view The front linersquos our own heartsLook through the windows to your soulsIdentify your fearsrsquo strongholdsRemove the plank
To wealthrsquos dictatorship bow notLove ALL mankind with ALL yoursquove gotMore educationrsquos a mirageTrue freedom lies beyond the crossWhere steadfast love to fear wonrsquot bendBut gladly lays down for the friendSet free to choose
Take heart all you at heavenrsquos door - Beloved soldiers gone before - Wersquoll build on your heroic deedsWersquoll sow still more of freedomrsquos seedsWersquoll celebrate each sunsetrsquos glowRest on brave souls where poppies blowIn Flanderrsquos Fields
Dedicated to Uncle Mac Heckbert and Grandfather Fred Heckbert Sr
Reason I was inspired to write this poem the day of the burial of my uncle HM (Mac) Heckbert in 2005 Uncle Mac fought in WWII with the 28th Field Battery Militia Unit out of Newcastle New Brunswick and received the Military Medal for his six years of service While on the front lines he took part in a poetry writing contest held through the Canadian circular called the Maple Leaf The goal was to see who could write the best poem from World War II in response to the famous World War I poem - In Flandersrsquo Fields Macrsquos father my grandfather fought near there at the Somme in World War I Mac won second prize for his poem and in his poem he takes up the chal-lenge issued in the poem lsquoIn Flanders Fieldsrsquo and takes up the torch mentioned in that poem He wrote a subsequent poem ending with another challenge to the next generation claiming the right to ask us to live as lsquofighting menrsquo if peace on earth was not yet won by the time his genera-tion passed on My poem is a response to Uncle Macrsquos challenge to keeping fighting faith alive I felt it was a divine inspiration like a spiritual gift given to me as I grieved with my father over the loss of his big brother his hero

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

The sky is darker this morning longer than it has beenamp the air doesnt have that comforting warmth to it Its got a bit of a bite to it you wake up faster that way I guess
No longer is there a moments hesitation amp
internal dialogue about chaps gloves or a bandana its almost automatically reached for now
The leather is slightly damp from the overnight amp feels heavier somehow more awkward cumbersome
Even the road feels different not as light free or as joyous somehow
You glance along the treeline to see that the leaves are already changing color amp you sigh- its barely September And damned if your fingers arent chilled
The ride to breakfast is as all the others comfortable pleasant easy amp you enjoy the feeling of knowing how your friends ride knowing where youre going so well there is no stress about it hearing the sounds of their bikes bounce off the rocks or guardrails
The sun is fully out when its time to leave again amp for this you are thankful
The smells are different now no more wet
earth amp dead grass but fresh hay amp lawns as people begin getting Summer things done amp Fall things started
You can smell sweetness amp popcorn from the fall fair last weekend as you rumble past the grounds amp know therell be another fair this coming weekend amp another the week after that somewhere else Its that time again
There are more riders on the highway now some wave some dont amp it is always amusing just How some wave
Makes you think of all you met this season places you saw things you didamp you wonder who youll meet next year
And you realize all of a sudden that the air is once more as dark as it was on a summers night but it is Early yet
The clouds are gathering thunder grumbles in the distance amp reluctantly you head for home going faster with each mile as the wind picks up amp the rain starts slapping at your faceSummer rain is quite different than this stuff This rain Hurts
And as the skies open up you swing off amp hurry to open the doors laughing because you win
And then you hang around in companionable silence with your bike wiping off stray water droplets listening to the ticking of the cooling metal waiting for the rain to stop pounding on the roof like a two year olds temper tantrum Weather can be Such a sore loser sometimes
And as you venture outside once more the air smells sweet amp rich amp damp amp alive you hear the water fall from the leaves hiss beneath car tires passing amp even though you fumble in the darkness to unlock your door because you never even Thought to leave a light on you are still convinced that a shorter almost-end-of-season ride is still better than no ride
Now for a hot cup of tea

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Dover to collect toys for children in military families
Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest
The Busted Knuckle Chronicles September 19 2013 Page 47International News amp ON Events
Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

lsquoSergeant Santarsquo on a mission for military families
By Gord Bowes News staff (Hamilton Community Newscom)
Donrsquot be surprised to see Santa walking on the Mountain Thursday
Actually it will be Sergeant Santa who is walking from Hamilton to Port Dover to gather toys for the ldquoThank You Troops Toy Driverdquo
ldquoOur goal is make Christmas a little easier on military familiesrdquo says Randy Young presient of the Friends of Veterans Canada
Therersquos a big problem with Canadian soldiers coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder and he wants to make sure people know about it and try to help
ldquoIf we can avert that by a couple of presents underneath the tree and make somebodyrsquos
Christmas a little better who knows it could save a liferdquo says Young 52 ldquoI know it sounds dramatic but itrsquos truerdquo
Dressed in a custom-made Santa suit cut to like a combat uniform Sergeant Santa will be walking from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 on Limeridge Road East at Upper Wentworth down to Port Dover
Young is leaving at 10 am Thursday and will pass through Mount Hope Hagersville Caledonia and Jarvis along the way He said he expects to arrive at the Port Dover Legion in the early evening
Itrsquos a distance of about 56 kilometres Young said hersquoll be on foot most of the way but is bringing a bicycle to make up some ground when he gets too tired to keep walkingldquoItrsquos all going to be under my own steamrdquo says Young
Hersquoll spend much of the next day ringing sleigh bells and taking gifts from the bikers arriving in Port Dover for the traditional Friday the 13th gathering
The event is sort of a reverse toy run he says Instead of signing up for the run at the beginning of the ride riders are asked to sign up at the end when they get to the Port Dover Legion There riders can donate an unwrapped $25 gift (a toy for a child up to age five or an educational toy or sports equipment) or $25 cash donation
ldquoMotorcyclists are traditionally very supportive of veteransrsquo causesrdquo he notes
Sergeant Santa is the son of Santa Claus says Young He was in the North Pole Army and is now retired and helping out his dad He says children who are son or daughter of a soldier will relate to it
The Port Dover toy drive is the first of four events organized by Young and the Friends of Veterans Canada On Sept 22 there will be a classic car drive from Toronto to CFB Borden on Nov 9-10 therersquos the Toronto Christmas Motorcycle Show at the Toronto Congress Centre and in December there will be another toy run in Port Dover on Friday the 13th

Dover to collect toys for children in military families
Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Passing on a Two-Lane Road
Heres the scenario Youre cruising down a two lane road The speed limit is 55mph but theres two cagers in front of you the first of which is poking along at 40 to 45mph
The car directly in front of you has had many chances to pass the slow poke but for reasons unknown to you that driver seems content to stay behind the slow poke and tailgate instead of passing him
You glance in the rear view mirror and notice theres a parade of vehicles behind you and the cager directly behind you is too close for comfort So whats the safe thing to do
Well if youve got more patience than me the safest thing to do would be to slow down enough to give yourself plenty of distance between the car directly in front of you and keep a close eye on the car tail gating you
The second option is to pass the car in front and the slow poke and get away from the entire pack of four wheelers However before I make the pass Im going to look out for a few things
Number one oncoming traffic If the
oncoming lane is clear and there is no double yellow line Ill next look for intersecting streets on the left Keep in mind that if a vehicle is at a side street waiting to pull out that driver will be looking to his left for oncoming traffic not to his right where youll be accelerating to make your pass
Also keep in mind the intersecting road on your left might just be the street the slow poke is looking for Theres always the chance that hell suddenly jam on his brakes and make his left just as youre passing and youll wind up t-boning him at a high rate of speed
If that happens the slow poke would be at fault in the crash but thats not going to help you Another thing to watch out for as you pull out to pass is the car directly in front of you may suddenly decide to make a pass the same time you do and then theres the possibility that one of the parade of vehicles behind you might be trying to pass the entire line of vehicles
Sounds pretty complicated doesnt it Heres the safest way to make the pass First make sure there are no intersecting streets put on your left signal light to let the drivers behind you know youre about to make your move
Look in the rear view mirror to make sure no one else is about to pass flash your lights or toot the horn to let the driver in front know youre coming around then open the throttle and pass as fast as you can Make sure to

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

ACCEL INTRODUCES HIGH-PERFORMANCE IGNITION COIL FOR
HARLEY-DAVIDSON TWIN-CAM OWNERS
bull Stealth SuperCoil Eliminates Need For Ignition Wires Permanently Mounts Coil To Spark Plugbull Delivers Up To 20 More Voltage Than OE Ignition For Quicker Engine Starting and Better Throttle Response bull Easy Cosmetic Upgrade For a Custom Clean Appearance Requires No Cutting or Splicing Wires CLEVELAND (September 11 2013) ndash Prestolite Performance an aftermarket parts manufacturer of brands including Mr Gasket ACCEL Hays Lakewood and Mallory today introduced its all-new ACCEL Stealth SuperCoils a patent pending ignition coil that gives Harley-Davidsonreg twin-cam owners a new option to improve the look and performance of their bikes

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Folks yesterday Wounded Warriors Canada launched a very exciting innovative event The WWC Battlefield Bike Ride 2014 will raise funds for PTSD service animal programs The ride will last 5 - 15 June Juno Beach - Vimy
Commencing on the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings This ride will be a bucket list experience not only will we cycle in our forefathers footsteps we will take in all that rural France has to offer Frankly I am getting tired of hearing that Vets are paying upwards to $25k for a service dog To my mind some of the folks that supply dogs are war profiteers We do not charge a thin dime to any Vet in need of this great tool to fight the demons of PTSD
The need is great as we all know Now before we digress into VAC should pay for them You are right That said we need to prove it works this will take time In the interim we need to help those that need this type of help I would ask that you go to our web site wwwwoundedwarriorsca for details etc
Please consider joining us in an incredible journey You will find the ask is modest and quite doable no matter if you fundraise or pay it all yourself or a combination of both Raised fund are tax deductible Finally please forward to all your FB friends We are looking for 200 riders to ride for the 158 fallen Honour the fallen help the living

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear
With the bike sliding out he tried to correct amp ended up going over high side with the bike pushing him luckily into the sandy ditch I had to pull past and park then ran back to check on Al first He groaned as he rolled over I checked his eyes first before bones but knew he wasnrsquot too bad right away
A couple of choice words and he was up After recruiting a father son team to help right the bike from a poor position in the ditch we started a tape amp bungee job on some of the damage After a quick road test which proved it was running straight we were off to the border crossing at Nelway
I think you could almost drop a Nomad off a

bull Stealth SuperCoil Eliminates Need For Ignition Wires Permanently Mounts Coil To Spark Plugbull Delivers Up To 20 More Voltage Than OE Ignition For Quicker Engine Starting and Better Throttle Response bull Easy Cosmetic Upgrade For a Custom Clean Appearance Requires No Cutting or Splicing Wires CLEVELAND (September 11 2013) ndash Prestolite Performance an aftermarket parts manufacturer of brands including Mr Gasket ACCEL Hays Lakewood and Mallory today introduced its all-new ACCEL Stealth SuperCoils a patent pending ignition coil that gives Harley-Davidsonreg twin-cam owners a new option to improve the look and performance of their bikes

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

Summer Run To Chewelah
Early in June this year my good buddy Al invited me on a ride he had done before with some old friends to Chewelah Washington This yearrsquos ride was to be known as the Duffy Classic II named in honour of the originator
Several years earlier Duffy had scouted out an area of Washington State that was rife with great motorcycle roads Not much traffic amp lots of corners is hard to beat for anyone especially for a Calgarian whose favourite local rides were to be devastated within weeks due to the flood disaster I was happy that I had agreed to go even though due to work considerations I had to make it a quick turn around
The early morning of August 9th had weather reports threatening more rain in Southern Alberta (imagine that) and it certainly looked like they were correct with ominous dark skies to the south of Calgary We hit the 2 highway southbound for Nanton I was wishing I had put a liner back in my jacket or at least had the forethought my riding partner had shown in putting a sweatshirt under his own Damn cold for August and you would think a native would know better
I was feeling much better about things once we were able to turn off on Hwy533 for the jaunt through the Porcupine Hills to connect to Hwy 22 south The wind was really getting up but still fairly tolerable I always see something new on this stretch amp this morning was no exception as I spotted probably the biggest whitetail buck I had ever seen laying
down by some scrub about 75 yards off the road I was feeling pretty good about my eagle eye until I rode past another buck standing in the ditch watching me about a half mile up I hadnrsquot spotted him until I was almost there I was back in concentrate mode immediately
Once we got onto 22 south we settled back into making miles while battling gale force winds Wind is a constant in this country but it was exceptional that morning and didnrsquot calm down until we got closer to the Crowsnest and Hwy 3 west After fueling up both bikes amp bellies in Blairmore we got back on the road next stop Cranbrook
After being slowed down for the massive amount of flood repair work around Sparwood we noticed it warming up considerably and by the time we got to Starbucks in Cranbrook I was cooking in my jacket After the cooling effects of a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and a change to just a vest over the T-shirt I was ready to roll
Back onto Hwy 3 for a nice ride through Moyie amp past the lake then turning south onto 95 for the border at Kingsgate We noted at the time the heavy traffic coming North on a Friday and thought maybe another crossing on a Sunday may be a better choice Down 95 closer to Bonners Ferry we could tell we were in Idaho when we started spotting helmetless riders Having not been through this stretch for several years I was surprised at the changes along the route to Sandpoint with the strip mall fever they have suffered from Sandpoint being a summer tourist Mecca made travel through town a bit of a process but we made our way downtown to grab a refreshment from a local shop of a nice cold Italian soda poked our heads in a couple of touristy type shops amp mounted up again Herersquos where the trip really began for me with roads never travelled We made our way west on 2 along the Priest

Continued on next Page
River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

fast food joint Pretty nice at 95 deg F outside
Fuel up amp off we head back over some of the same roads we came down on and north on 25 to the Gifford-Inchelium Ferry This is a free ferry crossing Lake Roosevelt which is a dammed up portion of the Columbia The ride over was a refreshing break from the heat
After a quick hydration stop in Inchelium we turned north on 3 (Inchelium Hwy) to 395 over the bridge towards Kettle Falls turning south on 25 again Starting to think about
a shower amp supper again since itrsquos almost 6PM but wait therersquos more mountain curves coming Turning east onto the Orrin-Rice Rd we once again cut through the Selkirk mountains onto the Marble Valley Basin Road
Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium

Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

The Mother-in-Law
The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo
A few minutes later the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and saidldquoI told you there must be a simple expla-nation --- she didnrsquot get your emailrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

River through several small towns noticing a few different groups of riders heading the same direction Once we got to Newport is where we lost them with 2 turning south to Spokane amp Al turning north onto 20 which continues along the Priest River We continued on to Usk where you turn west on Beeman Rd then Mckenzie Rd leads you to the Flowery Trail Road which is a wonderful stretch of curves amp switchbacks over a mountain range right into Chewelah
Unfortunately we had heard they were doing some work on this road but didnrsquot realize the extent It was freshly chipped for asphalt re-work virtually from the summit all the way down the west side Likely not too bad for a sport touring model but a Nomad is hard to power slide through spots of piled up gravel in corners especially under steep gravitational pull
I was a bit tuckered pulling through town so was glad to check into the Nordlig which is a biker friendly motel shower up and
meet Dave Duffy amp John for dinner and a refreshment or two at the Sportsmens Bar amp Grill These three gents had arrived the night before amp had a full day of riding as Al amp I were travelling Unfortunately John had to head home to Cheney and a weekend of work The next day we were up early amp grabbing breakfast after a storm that the locals were talking about had passed through the night before Hadnrsquot heard a thing From there we headed up 395 to the Addy Gifford Rd and started our day of hard cruising From Gifford take 25 south until just past Fruitland you can enter the Spokane Indian Reservation at Mudget Lake Road which
eventually gets on to the West End amp Wellpinit Rd This are is fabulous for tight turns amp plenty of them Always good to be cautious first time through this type of road with some corners sneaking up tighter than they look From there you end up on Little Falls Rd which in turn hooks into 231 north to 291 east Along here yoursquoll find the Long Lake Dam which when it was built in 1915 was the largest hydroelectric dam in the world An amazing piece of architecture built around a natural mountain bend From there into Tumtum amp a quick lunch in an air conditioned

Onto 395 with a heavy throttle to the hotel then capped off the day with a walk to town amp a nice Italian dinner That was a long day for an old fella
The next morning we decided to have breakfast in Colville amp found an interesting diner that shares a building with a Kung Fu studio amp the local funeral parlourcrematorium
From there we parted ways with Duffy amp Dave headed west amp us taking the Colville-Tiger Rd east to 31 A lovely ride through cool green mountains with some parts in the shade still wet from the rain the night before We got our last cheap premium fuel in Ione and headed north for the border through Metaline Falls and herersquos where it went south so to speak I was following Al amp noticed him get into a 270 degree corner that was slightly canted away from the turn Although not going very fast at all he got the floorboards in a little too deep on the third scrape and un-weighted the rear

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

STRONG COFFEE A Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husbands libido
What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare
Why so terrible asked the doctor Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasnt good
Freakin jaysus it was the best sex Ive had in 25 years But sure as Im sittin here Ill never be able to show me face at Tim Hortonrsquos again

ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

building amp have cosmetic damage only they are a tank My biggest eye opener in this low speed seemingly light crash was the damage done to boots chaps jacket amp helmet There is a reason we wear them even when hot After this incident the ride home seemed fairly mundane other than Al stiffening up somewhat and the 1-12 hours of clutch riding in traffic to get through the Sparwood road re-construction That was brutal I was home safe about 930 PM dreading the Monday workload already It was a great weekend that I will definitely do again Dan CallahanCalgary Alberta

What about trying Viagra asked the doctor Not a chance she said He wont even take an aspirin Not a problem replied the doctor Give him a Newfie Viagra What is Newfie Viagra she asked Its when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee He wont even taste it Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went
It was a week later when she called the doctor who directly inquired as to her progress
The poor dear exclaimed Oh faith bejaysus and begorrah Twas horrid Just terrible doctor
Really What happened asked the doctor
Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate He jumped straight up with a
smile on his face a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely
With one swoop of his arms he sent me cups and saucers flying ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop Twas a nightmare I tell you an absolute nightmare

The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase
ldquoWhat happenedrdquo she asked anxiously
ldquoWhat happened Irsquoll tell you what hap-pened I sent an email to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip I got home and guess what I found Your daughter in bed with a naked guy This is unforgiveable the end of our marriage Irsquom done Irsquom leaving foreverrdquo
ldquoCalm down calm downrdquo said his mother-in-law ldquoTherersquos something very odd about that She would never do such a thing
There must be a simple explanation Irsquoll go speak to her and find out what hap-penedrdquo

Support Our Troops Ride
By Debby Lake
Did you ever have a dream where you planned some huge party and spent weeks and weeks and weeks planning and organizing and then the big day comes and no one shows up but then you wake up realize it was all a dream and everything is OK Even though it was only a dream and not real you feel relieved
Well from about Wednesday September 4 to about 10 am on Saturday September 7 I felt like I was stuck in the part of the dream where it was party time and I was going room to room to room looking for people wondering where everyone was and getting more panicked and harried with every step and every empty room
You see as a member of 2CAV Beaumont Hamel and a member of the organizing committee for the Support Our Troops Ride I felt like I was planning this huge party and after inviting just about everyone in the city all I could do was sit back and wait and hope that people showed up It was nerve wracking
A couple of sleepless nights leading up to the big day wondering ldquowhat happens if no one shows up What if people donrsquot understand how important this isrdquo
The Support Our Troops Ride has been going on for almost 10 years here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and in 2011 the Health Care Foundation heard about our wantdesireplan to put in a garden at the Caribou
Veterans Pavilion and asked to partner with us to help raise the funds
The idea for The Jim Shields Memorial Garden started out several years ago as pretty much a basic garden some place pretty for the residents of the Veterans Pavilion to lsquohang outrdquo but itrsquos not that anymore
This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control

This is not just any garden This is a very specific specialized garden They call it a dementia garden It will provide a specialized environment specifically designed for people with various levels of cognitive impairment due to dementia and its related conditions
Well thatrsquos the official description for us in Beaumont Hamel it lets us provide a safe welcoming beautiful space for the veterans residing at the pavilion their families and the staff For us that was important
Well with my anxiety growing by the minute I stood in the parking lot of CFS St Johnrsquos Drill Hall and watched the motorcycles arrivehellip one at a time in groups of two three sixhellip it was very moving for me
With every set of wheels that rolled on the parking lot came the realization that there was someone else who felt that what we were doing was important that it mattered that the veterans matter For me that was important
With each set of wheels came one more small effort As individuals our efforts are small but when you take all the small efforts and put them together when people work together great things happen The 2013 Support the Troops Ride saw 117 bikes riding and raised $26577 for the garden That is important
We all like to think that what we do is important that it matters that it will make a difference Most of us will never get to see if something we did mattered or made a difference thatrsquos just life Irsquod like to think that come the summer of 2014 when the Jim Shields Memorial Garden is in full bloom that I will get a chance to sneak a peak through the fence and see the difference that hundreds of little efforts made to the Veterans because they are important

A Rock Solid FoundationThe last time I watched a ldquoBiker Build-offrdquo show on tv I was amazed at the incredible craftsmanship skill and attention to detail that was exhibited by the builders
Everything from the way parts
and pieces obvious to the eye and forever hidden inside or behind something else were custom made and uniquely precise and absolutely necessary for the eventual operation of the motorcycle
It seems the special touches like ldquoout of sightrdquo handlebars unusual shaped tanks and fenders and of course some wicked and totally lsquosickrsquo paint jobs and graphics separate the men from the boys when it comes to creating and building custom motorcycles Talk about making a statement these people know their craft and they set the bar high for others in their industry
Itrsquos interesting to note that at the end of the day without a solid frame a solid foundation these bikes would be nothing but an ornament Without a solid secure frame imagine what would happen the first time the throttle was opened up and the rider hit twisties at 140 K
You know life isnrsquot any different We read
in ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo (bible) about a building our lives on a rockmdasha solid foundation And not on the sand In Matthew chapter seven verses 24 ndash 27 we read 24 ldquoAnyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise like a person who builds a house on solid rock 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house it wonrsquot collapse because it is built on bedrock 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnrsquot obey it is foolish like a person who builds a house on sand 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house it will collapse with a mighty crashrdquo
So you see just like a custom motorcycle needs a solid foundation for it to run properly and survive we also need a rock solid foundation To withstand all that this life will throw at us and assault us with Everything from health issues to employment finance situations addictions broken relationships loss depression and a myriad of other trials
that we all seem to go through at one time or another
So today can I encourage you to consider building your life on the rock that is Jesus Christ And if Jesus is already your solid foundation may you continue on that path and be blessed in all situations knowing that God has your back and he is in control
