Glenn Dean, a Galetta-area dairy farmer, watches over his machine, which wraps hay bales in eight layers of protective plastic, as Carp-area beef farmer Barry Graham unloads another bale. Farmers have been racing against the weather recently, working to bring in another harvest of hay before a string of Carp Ag Society to host free rainy days. It’s quite a change from earlier this summer when they were experiencing a serious drought.

Erin McCracken photo Liam’s Army Unites Again
The ninth annual Dravet Syndrome National Walk was a little bit different this year, but nonetheless inspiring. About 65 people took part in a three-kilometre walk fundraiser in Constance Bay’s Torbolton Forest Sept. 12, including Liam McKnight, 12, and his family, mom Mandy, dad Dave, sisters Ava and Maya and brother Finn. Other teams participated elsewhere on their own due to physical distancing requirements. The walk has generated more than $420,000 over the years to fund research into Dravet syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy that causes frequent and severe seizures. Liam has experienced seizures since he was a baby. It’s estimated this year’s walk and a new online auction will generate $45,000 to $50,000. To donate online, visit raceroster.com and search for ‘Dravet Syndrome.’
