The Healing Power of Horses
It's amazing sometimes how a connection with an animal can change our perspective on things. For some... that connection can be even more real than relationships with other people. The Hughes Jones Centre for People and Animals in Cornwall opened in 2008. It's goal is to use horses to help young people....especially those at risk.....learn respect and caring for themsleves and others. The young people who come there....not only learn to ride the horses....but are involved in the hands on care. It's a recipe for success.....and the centre is growing. Angela Walker dropped by the arena at the Hughes Jones Centre.

Arts and Heritage trail
Prince Edward Island is full of old buildings with amazing history....and dozens of communities play host to festivals that have been around almost as long as those old communities.
On top of all that.....dozens of artisans are creating and selling wonderful works from their studios and shops across the island.
For the first time...The Tourism Industry association has come up with an Arts and Heritage Trail to lead islanders and tourists alike to those locations.
And they've included a high tech way of transmitting some of that information.
Judy MacDonald of the Barachois Inn in Rustico is the chair of the arts and heritage trail committee for the tourism industry association.
She dropped by the studio with the details

Young Millionaires
A grant of up to 100 dollars.....for young people between the ages of 8 and 16 to start a small business....learn new skills and develop a love of entrepreneurship that could last a lifetime. That's the premise behind the Young Millionaires Program....now in its 19th year on Prince Edward Island.
Some of the young business people involved in the program on PEI were at the Confederation Court Mall selling their products....or letting the public know about their businesses.
Angela Walker dropped by to speak with a few of them.

Dutch Thompson - Tractors
This is the time of year it seems where tractors are everywhere you look.....Farmers making hay or scufflin' the potatoes.
And there's one more tractor on the road... recently Dr.John Varty, a professor from Yale University set off from Charlottetown across Canada...on a tractor. He'll meet with farmers along the way and he hopes to learn more about the changing farming landscape.
So it's only fitting ....that Dutch Thompson drops by with stories about tractors..from the by-gone days.
