Ashlee and Jacqueline Stef -fens may not seem to be house-hold names in WellingtonCounty - but that changes whenconsidering the Steffens sis-ters’ role in the Equestrianworld.
Both are top notch riders intheir field, competing at thenational and international level,and those championship skillshave gotten 12-year-old Ashleein the movies as well.
Their father, Peter Steffens,said his family moved to theirMinto horse farm several yearsago.
In recent years, Jac quelineand Ashlee competed in SouthAmerica, where Jacqueline wasthe best foreign rider and oneof the top three in her class -despite having the “distinct dis-advantage” of choosing from apool of horses provided by thehost country.
Steffens said the family hasabout 14 horses, with six ac -tively showing right now andcompeting at the national level.
He noted the sisters com-pete in a number of divisions,with 12-year-old Ashlee theyoungest by far in one of thosedivisions where the only re -quirement is being an amateuror junior rider.
“So, she’s even competingagainst adults in that division,”he said, adding she iss also nearthe top in a Hunter division.That will allow that horse toqualify for the Royal WinterFair.
Jacqueline, 15, has lockedup one championship already,he said, adding, “no one’s evenclose.” He explained that dom-ination came on a horse riddenby Eric Lamaze, who wonCanada’s third gold medal atthe Beijing Olympic Games.
“Because the girls are good,they’re asked to ride otherhorses for other people,” Petersaid. Those owners bring thehorse, pay the bills, pay theentries and the girls ride to givethe horses or ponies experiencein the show ring. If the horsesshow well, the owners maywant to sell them.
“It’s called giving themmileage,” he noted. Ashlee isalso giving a couple of horsesmileage in one of her own divi-sions.
He cited a division in whichJacqueline was competingagainst adults and said, “She’sjumping at the highest levelthat’s allowed for amateurs inCanada.”
During one competition,Ashlee came to the attention ofa movie producer through aCanadian stunt coordinator. Asa result, she appeared in arecent CTV/Sullivan produc-tion of Anne of Green Gables:A New Beginning.
For that role, Ashlee rodebareback - without a tack orstir rups - which, Steffens said,is the type of riding that wouldusually require an adult stuntperson.
“That really kinda opened
the door for Ashlee,” he said.Indeed, since the Anne ofGreen Gables movie, Ashleehas been involved in three orfour other movies.
She will appear in the com-ing Amelia Earhart movie,Amelia, starring Hilary Swankin the title role and co-starringRichard Gere and Ewan Mc -Gregor.
Steffens said the director
wanted a young girl in the roleof a young Amelia. He was sur-prised the American producersbrought a film crew of about 80people to Canada to film Ash -lee’s scenes, including one witha pilot and Ashlee as a youngAmelia, galloping down a fieldrunway.
The family has been wait-ing about a year for Amelia tobe relased in theatres (thefilm’s North American releaseis set for Oct. 23).
“What’s amazing about [theAnne of Green Gables produc-tion] and in the Amelia film,”Steffens said, was the amountof staff involved.
“In Amelia alone, they had78 to 80 people on set for thetwo days to film these clips thatwere just Amelia as a younggirl riding, waving to a plane,”he said.
“It will probably onlyamount to 30 or 60 seconds.”
He believed it was part of asmall flashback sequence whenthe main character was flyingsomewhere - looking back onhow her fascination of flyingfirst started.
Ashlee has also done workin two or three other movies,including one as a vampiredoing basic stunts. But to do
that, Ashlee had to join theAlliance of Canadian Cinema,Television and Radio Artists(ACTRA), the Canadian ac -tors’ union.
Thus far, Steffens has beenmost impressed with theAmelia shoot, although headmits it might be in part due tohis own aviation background,or because the movie is beingreleased in theatres this fall.
A property with a grass run-way, with corn and wheatgrowing beside it, was scoutednorth of Toronto for the Ameliascenes, and producers broughtin vintage - not a replica - air-craft for the film shoot.
“These were original air-craft from the early 1900s,”Steffens said.
Fire department crews werehired to be on the set in case ofan emergency, along with an
ambulance. A small aircrafthanger on the site was torndown for the filming - and thenrebuilt following the shoot.
Although the film requiredonly one horse, three werebrought in for the film to pro-vide back-up in case one didnot work out. As well, cowboywranglers were hired in theevent the horses got wild orcarried away, as producerswere not sure how the horseswould react.
Steffens explained in one ofthe scenes Ashlee is literallygalloping down the runwayabout 15 feet from the plane’swing tip on one side as it wastaking off, while a helicopterwith a camera mount was get-ting one shot, and a MercedesSUV rigged with a camera armwas driving down the runwayfollowing her.
“Which is why they werereluctant to put just anyone inthere,” Steffens opined. “Theywere trying for an authenticlook. It was just take after take.
“The part that blew meaway was how much moneywas spent.”
He estimated the cost of ahelicopter alone was a coupleof hundred thousand dollars -just for the day.
He also took time to offer aviewing of video shot on-sitewith the family camcorder.
“Isn’t it crazy the equip-ment brought in for one quicklittle shot which may or maynot even make it in,” he said.
When asked for her opin-ion, Ashlee said, “It was reallyfun doing all the stunts. It wasa really good experience to seeeverything and the people.”
When she was on the horsewith the plane on one side andthe helicopter on the other, “Itwas hard to get the timingright, but it was really fun to bedoing that. It was very excit-ing.”
However, she said “The rid-ing is more part of my dream.”
Her father added there are alot of people struggling tomake it in the movie industry,and they work hard at it.
“Those were awfully longdays,” he said.
He noted on the set, tutorswere brought in to help Ashleekeep up with her education andthe director would need to bereminded that Ashlee neededlunch and then to be with the
tutor for her schoolwork.The union insisted on that
to ensure there is some schooltime.
“We’re not encouraging thekids to pursue this ... [and]even though she’s been paidreally well for this,” Steffenssaid that money is being putaside for university.
“The riding is what the girlsreally enjoy. What we’reproud est of, is not just howwell they do in their riding, buthow hard they work at it.”
He pointed out the night ofthe interview was considered a“light” night for the girls. Hesaid normally they come backfrom school, start their chores,have supper and go back at ituntil around 8pm - and thenthey do their homework.
“And if their marks slip atall, it’s real simple ... We justdon’t go to the next horseshow,” Steffens said.
He explained they arework ing harder than manykids, or even as he or his wifedid growing up.
On the horse side, the girlswould like to continue to com-pete, but he tried to instill thatit is a difficult way to make aliving.
Jacqueline said there are alot of people who want to con-tinue riding or get into coach-ing, but do not end up makingit. Which is why both are beingencouraged to pursue their edu-cation.
But their success in ridinghas led to other opportunitieswhich have been fun and maylast for a period of time. EvenAshlee has no long-term aspi-rations of continuing in themovie business.
“It’s a stage,” she said, add -ing once she reaches a certainage, she expects adults will bebrought in to do the stunts.
“Plus, it can get kinda dan-gerous as a way of making aliving.”
Steffens used the exampleof one movie scene where Ash -lee was required to fall off of atrain - even if it was movingslowly.
Steffens, is general managerof National Engineered Fasten -ers Inc., in Kitchener, whichboasts about 25 employees.
He has brought the girls inand shown them the business toimpress upon them the need tocontinue their education.

by Mike RobinsonEDEN MILLS - “We have
magical things in a magicalhome.”
That is how Michael Coulldescribes his gallery, In aHeartbeat, located in the heartof Eden Mills. Coull moved toEden Mills about four seasonsago.
“It was the dream of mine,and a friend of mine, to have agallery here,” he said. “Thehouse seemed to work itselfperfectly for that.” Heexplained the building, onEden Mills’ main street, is anold store from the 1860s.
Coull had purchased severalof area sculptor Jamie Brick’sworks in the past.
“He agreed to come andhave a one-man show as part ofthe Eden Mills Writers Festivalin 2008 ... and he’s back a yearlater.”
From the original show, thegallery has expanded.
“It’s just worked out per-fectly,” Coull said.
Flight of the DragonflyBrick, of the Kingston area,
explained the life-cast sculp-tures are of real people - mod-els who come in and have cast-ings made. Those are filledwith resin, then old cedar rootsand old antique silver he finds.
“I find the combinationworks really well together - theornate silver and the rusticwood,” Brick said.
He counts Celtic mytholo-gy, fantasy stories and the likeamong his influences. He feelsit’s difficult to say what pre-
cisely got him into this specificform of art, although he admitshe spent a lot of time as a youthrafting on a river, looking formermaids.
“I couldn’t find them, sowhen I grew up, I started mak-ing them.” He said he’s alwaysloved the fantasy stories withfairies and other magical crea-tures.
He started as a woodcarver,then about 15 years ago heexperimented casting a per-son’s face and took measure-ments from that.
“I had the piece on myworkbench and it fit perfectlyinto this piece of wood that Ihad.” At that point, he forgotabout carving it and startedplaying with joining the twotogether.
“It’s taken off and changesevery year as I go,” he said,noting the Dragonfly is thenewest piece. Brick explainedthat Coull wanted a chandelier-style lamp with “a wo man turn-ing into a dragonfly ... so this iswhat I came up with.
“When I start a piece, I
never know exactly how it’sgoing to turn out. I started withthe model, with her backarched a little to get the feelingof flight. It was just a questionof putting pieces of woodtogether to see what emerges.”
Current gallery hours forFlight of the Dragonfly show-ing are Friday 12 to 6pm andSaturday and Sunday between10am and 6pm or by appoint-ment.

Drayton Entertainment presents Heiress at St. Jacobs Country PlayhouseST. JACOBS – This fall
Drayton Entertainment delvesinto the dramatic world of awell-heeled New York familyand the clashing themes ofromance, duty and betrayal inthe Tony Award-winning play,The Heiress.
It takes up residence at thePlayhouse for a three-week en -gagement, Oct. 7 through 25.
“The Heiress is a vivid andabsorbing piece of theatre thathas garnered critical acclaim
since it first appeared onBroad way in 1947,” said artis-tic director of DraytonEntertainment Alex Mustakas.“As a film, it also receivedmultiple Academy awards,Golden Globes, and a nomi -nation from the Writers Guildof America for best writtenAmerican drama. I expect thataudiences will truly enjoy thisevocative play.”
Based on Henry James’novel Washington Square, The
Heiress takes place in an afflu-ent New York residentialsquare in 1850. The storyshines a powerful spotlight onfamily relationships as it re -counts the conflict between adull but sweet daughter and herbrilliant, domineering father.
Catherine is a soft-heartedand painfully shy woman, andthe daughter of Dr. Sloper, atyrannical man who makes nosecret of his disappointment inher. When Catherine meets a
charming yet penniless suitorher misfortune appears tochange. But believing him tobe after Catherine's moneyalone, her father strongly dis-approves of the relationshipand when he learns of theirplan to elope, Catherine isforced to choose between thedesires of the heart and thesecurity of the family fortune.
Bitterly relentless and deep -ly compelling, The Heiress is atrue character study that ex -
plores the complete spectrumof the human condition.
Nine outstanding perform -ers have been assembled underthe direction of David Lathamfor the drama, including TovaSmith as the shy and sociallyawkward Catherine Sloper.
C. David Johnson, whomaudiences will recognize fromthe long-running Canadiantele vision drama Street Legal,is Catherine’s father, the sullenand pretentious Dr. Sloper.Jeff rey Wetsch is Catherine’senigmatic suitor, Morris Town -send.
Susie Burnett, MichelleFisk, Sophia Kolinas, BrendanRowland, Jane Spence, andJane Spidell add distinct per -son ality to of each of the sup -
porting characters in the tale.“The underlying struggle
between love and obligationresonates with everyone andyou can’t help being drawn inby the dynamic characters onstage,” said Mustakas. “Whenthe word gets out about thisincredible play, theatergoerswill not want to miss it.”
The Heiress media sponsorsare 101.7FM The One and TheWellington Advertiser.
