ROCKLAND – It is

the end of an era for

Glengarry, Prescott-

Russell (GPR) MPP Jean-

Marc Lalonde who

announced that he would

not seek reelection in the

fall provincial election.

Lalonde made the

announcement on April

12, at the River Rock Inn

in Rockland in front of a

full room of friends,

family, supporters and

members of the media.

Lalonde described his

decision as a tough one

that he wrestled with up

until the last minute. He

explained that he

discussed it with friends,

family and even Premier

Dalton McGuinty, but

after thinking about it he

stepped up to the podium

and proclaimed, “I cannot

continue to work for the

people of this beautiful

riding of Glengarry,

Prescott-Russell.”

Lalonde was first

elected to provincial

parliament in 1995 and

has served the riding for

the past 16-years,

winning elections again in

1999, 2003 and 2007.

Before that he spent 25-

years in municipal

politics including 15-

years as mayor of

Rockland. He was the

longest serving MPP for

the GPR riding.

Ultimately, Lalonde

cited his family as the

main reason why he

would not seek reelection.

“It has not been easy to

be away from Sunday

evening to Thursday

evening. It has been hard

on my family for me not

to be there.”

He went on to discuss

some of his proudest

achievements, such as

keeping companies in the

region and bringing

projects such as the

Calypso water park and

the Rockland hockey

academy to the area.

Lalonde was also the

MPP who put for a

Private Members’ Bill,

which got the Franco-

Ontarian flag officially

recognized.

Specifically for the

Russell area, Lalonde

cited the Water Work

approval but also felt bad

that he could not get more

done. “Sometimes you

just don’t get the

application in time and

then there is little that can

be done.”

Lalonde did say that he

sees tremendous potential

in the Russell area and

hopes that it can be

developed moving

forward.

The municipalities that

made up his riding took

much of the focus in his

departing speech. Lalonde

explained that he was

very proud of all of the

work with the

municipalities as they

helped bring over $400-

million in projects to the

region in the last five

years. Lalonde hopes that

he can continue to work

with the municipalities in

some capacity to help get

more done for GPR.

The Liberal candidatefor Glengarry-Prescott-Russell, Julie Bourgeois,does not think the pro-posed site in a north-westarea of Russell Townshipis appropriate to be usedfor a dump.

“I do not think TaggartMiller has offered enoughdetails as to what type ofproject they are ‘propos-ing to propose’ (as fromwhat I understand theyhave yet to present a for-mal proposal to theTownship),” said JulieBourgeois. “And also, Ido not think we (inG l e n g a r r y - P r e s c o t t -Russell) have a need forone more dump site. I fur-ther understand that thereis an existing site desig-nated for this purposemerely 50 km east thatcould very well accom-modate this type of activ-ity.”

Her mother lives inRussell, along with per-sonal friends, and shewould not want to seetheir health, or any otherresident of Russell or theirchildren and grandchil-dren, be jeopardized bysuch use or activity on thatproperty. “My concern,like many others, relatesto the hazards to health,quality of life and waterthat could extend to a larg-er surrounding area thanexpected”, she added.

Russell Fire DepartmentSpringtime Grass Fires

CLOSED GOOD FRIDAY HOLIDAY nd

th

th

Spring is

now finally

upon us and

the fields are

rapidly drying

out, this is the

time of the

year that we

are very prone to grass and

brush fires. Even after

rainy periods, it only takes

one or two days of dry

windy weather to make

fields tinder dry and very

susceptible to burning.

This is also applicable to

the ditches on the sides of

roads where a great num-

ber of grass fires start.

With the weather getting

nicer people may also

want to start having back-

yard bonfires, however

particular care should be

taken especially when it is

windy, if you find that the

wind is above normal and

that the embers are being

carried away it’s best to

extinguish the fire. Better

yet, be aware of these fac-

tors before you light the

fire. Another common

cause of grass fires is

smokers throwing lit ciga-

rettes from their car win-

dows, when the grassy

areas are dry it doesn’t

take much to ignite a fire

and a cigarette can smol-

der for quite some time.

Farms are where we have

the most grass fires during

the springtime, any farmer

wanting to burn off their

fields must have a burn

permit and then inform the

county on the day that they

plan on burning, permis-

sion will either be granted

or denied depending on

weather conditions. Even

if permission is granted,

due diligence is always

required and

the fire must be

controlled, if

the fire

becomes out of

control the

farmer can be

charged for

negligence. This is the

same for residents of the

village who have a small

campfire for cooking, if

the fire is excessively

large or out of control you

can and will be charged

for careless burning.

Another concern with

grass fires is the proxi-

mately of high dry grass to

buildings. If you have high

dry grass right up to your

home or any building

you’re asking for trouble.

Be aware that this greatly

increases the chance of

you losing this building.

Grass fires start extremely

fast and get very hot, they

travel as quickly as the

wind is blowing and can

ignite a building quite eas-

ily. Look around your

property, if you have high

grass or a heavy accumu-

lation of small branches or

scrub make sure they are

an adequate distance from

any buildings. Smart plan-

ning and landscaping is

the best solution to avoid

this from happening in the

first place.

We always encourage

people to be careful with

fire however pay particu-

lar attention outside during

the springtime. Until the

lush green vegetation

starts to grow, grasslands

are extremely flammable.

If you notice a fire in a

field that is unattended

please cal 9-1-1 as soon as

possible.

This week’s Russell Fire Department’s

Fire Safety Column is brought to you by

RFD Firefighter Joe Pereira.

By Jason Isaac

The Villager EditorRUSSELL - Bill

Cashman’s motto hasalways been “safety first”.As a volunteer member ofthe Russell FireDepartment, he had manyopportunities to demonstratehow important it is that thepublic must take the rightsafety precautions to pre-vent injury or even savelives. Cashman took thatcommitment one step fur-ther this past weekend, as hebecame the first certified carseat safety instructor in thehistory of the RFD. Hepassed with flying coloursafter taking a two-daycourse and a 75-questionclosed book exam as part oftraining conducted by mem-bers of the St. John’sAmbulance (SJA) and theEastern Ontario Health Unit(EOHU) under the guide-lines established byTransport Canada.

His skills, as well as thenewfound knowledge ofmembers from the VankleekHill Fire Department, theAuxiliary Branch of theOPP and students at CiteCollegiale, were put to thetest at the RFD’s annual carseat clinic held on April 16.Parents and grandparentswere invited to attend thefree clinic to have theseemergency professionalsinspect their car seats, goingthrough a lengthy safetychecklist that included prop-er seat to weight sizing,expiry dates, positioningand the proper securing ofthe seat in the vehicle.

While Cashman said that itis always better to inspect acar seat with the actual childthat is using it present, at thevery least it is important foranyone who has small chil-dren that requires this typeof restraint to attend one ofthe clinics to know that theirchild will be safe when rid-ing in the family vehicle.“Some parents think thatthey have it right, but withso many different styles andsizes of car seats, there real-ly isn’t a one size fist allmodel. We are checking tomake sure this is the rightseat for the right child.Having them properlyinstalled is also going tonarrow down their chancesof injury significantly.”

According to TransportCanada, all new makes andmodels of car seats are putthrough rigorous testing.While TC does not makeany endorsements of onemanufacturer or style of seatover another, they do rec-ommend to the manufactur-ers that they make changesto their seats if they do notmeet up to the CanadianSafety Standards. In order tomeet these guidelines, TCissues a recall notice onthose seats that require safe-ty improvements beforethey can continue to be sold

in this country. Somethingas simple as proper labellinginstructions to assist parentsin having the seat installedcorrectly could be groundsfor a recall.

Car seats do save lives.“A few years ago, there wasa bad accident just north ofRussell where a young childwas a passenger in one ofthe vehicles,” saidCashman. “That kid sur-vived because the car seatwas installed properly anddid its job. It made mehappy to know that I was theone who had inspected itonly days before.”

RFD Chief BruceArmstrong is proud ofCashman’s recent certifica-tion. “Bill has been doingthese clinics here at thedepartment for the past 15years. I am very thrilled thathe is now certified to go outand train others and sharehis expertise. That is onlygoing to be a positive forchild safety in other com-munities as well as here inRussell.”

Armstrong is also quickto point out while other fireunits do not allot resourcesor time into public safetyeducation, he is extremelyproud of what his membersare doing through the RFD’seducation initiatives, whichare all conducted at virtuallyno cost to taxpayers because

the volunteers are not paidfor their time. “My team iscertainly not doing it for themoney,” said Armstrong.“They do it because theylove their small town com-munity and want to makesure that their neigbours andfriends stay safe.”

Part of the department’seducational branch includesa fire safety trailer that hasbecome a highlight for fam-ilies at local and regionalevents, school visits pro-moting fire safety, house-hold safety surveys, homesmoke alarm inspections,car seat clinics, and a week-ly column that is featured inThe Villager.

While on Saturday morn-ing there was only a handfulcars passing through the firehall for car seat inspection,both Cashman andArmstrong said that eventhough the clinic is nowover, parents are encouragedto call the any time toarrange an inspectionthroughout the year.

“Even if we only are able

to check a dozen cars a year,

that is a dozen families that

are going to know that their

children will be safe and

secure while out for a trip

with mom or dad.”To set up an inspection,

She cannot imagine this

proposed site being appro-

priate to be used as a dump

site and end up like the sit-

uation we see in Carp. She

had the opportunity to talk

to members of the Dump

the Dump Now Committee

and visit their booth at the

Local Grown Show in

Russell earlier this year.

She also read Dr.

Heymans’ (family doctor

for most of her family and

extended family for many

generations now) presenta-

tion to the Township and

she remains convinced that

the site Taggart Miller is

proposing is inadequate to

be used as a dump. Julie

Bourgeois says “the com-

pany can drive the extra 50

km to a more appropriate

and already approved site

to do business.”

Nelson ZandbergenSpecial to The VillagerST. ISIDORE — Liberal

leader Michael Ignatieffattracted a crowd of sup-porters as well as a gaggleof Tory pranksters during avisit to bolster the JulieBourgeois campaign herelast week.The Official Opposition

leader kissed babies, flippedburgers and whipped up theadoring Grits gathered out-side the village fire depart-ment as the federal electionpassed the halfway mark inGlengarry-Prescott-Russell.But his arrival was pre-

ceded by several youngparty crashers in blue totingcupcakes, chocolate coinsand a mocking sign congrat-ulating Ignatieff on his “tax-iversary.” They left by the time the

Liberal leader stepped offhis tour bus around 6 p.m.,having made their splashwith the national reporterswho arrived earlier on iden-tical Liberal media coaches. Ignatieff dismissed the

stunt, which also saw ayoung man in an iPod cos-tume to highlight allegedLiberal support for a copy-right levy on such devices. “What they run against is

the policies we do no nothave,” he said of the Tories’“funny visit,” adding,“Welcome to ConservativeDisneyland.”Bourgeois welcomed

Ignatieff in both official lan-guagesas the audiencecheered, with fire trucks anduniformed firefightersarrayed behind the localcandidate and the formerHarvard professor. She lauded him as pos-

sessing “real commonsense” and for being a “true,natural leader,” before hetook the microphone todeliver his stump speech.Ignatieff chastised the

current government forsecretive practices, notingits refusal to release an audi-

tor’s report “on the waste ofthe G8 summit” and anotherdocument concerningAfghan detainees. “Let thepeople see it, let the peoplejudge,” he rhetoricallydemanded. “That’s how itworks in Canada, Mr.Harper.”Holding up the latest

Liberal “red book,” Ignatieffemphasized a “passionate”belief in equality, extendingto post-secondary educa-tion. Referring to his party’spromise of a new grant pro-gram for low-income stu-dents, a Liberal governmentwould ensure college wasnot just a dream for somefamilies, he said. The Liberals intend to

pay for their platform prom-ises by upping the corporatetax rate one and half pointsto 18 per cent.Ignatieff’s Tory tormen-

tors in St. Isidore were onlytoo happy to connect himwith higher taxes. Led bycabinet minister JasonKenney’s communicationsdirector Alykhan Velshi,they said it was the two-yearanniversary of Ignatiefftelling a Kitchener audienceof needed tax increases.Velshi — who wound upwith a cupcake smushedinto his hair by an unappre-ciative Grit — added it wasthe one-year anniversary ofthe Liberals voting in favourof an expansion in the itemssubject to the Canadiancopyright levy. TheConservatives have dubbedit the “iPod tax.”The Liberals hope to put

G-P-R back in their column,having held the riding fornearly 45 consecutive yearsuntil Conservative PierreLemieux ended that dynastyin 2006. Reminded of pastglories, the crowd cheeredas Glengarry-Prescott-Russell’s last Liberal MP,Don Boudria, and his prede-cessor, Denis Éthier, ralliedaround Bourgeois andIgnatieff.

Eager to revive the Liberal legacy in G-P-RGlengarry-Prescott-Russell Liberal candidate Julie Bourgeois stands between the last two Grits torepresent the riding in Ottawa, Denis Éthier (left) and Don Boudria, during leader Michael Ignatieff’sApril 14 campaign stop in St. Isidore.

DTDN challenges

federalcandidates

CASTORCountryBy Tom Van Dusen

For more than a decade now, Tomand the boys have been getting togeth-er for a little early spring golf and com-raderie in Ocean City, Maryland.

In fact, we just returned from thelatest five-day junket, refreshed –some might say overly refreshed – andready to take on the world once again.

It’s a ritual which began with anOttawa law firm and has seen its com-plement of Russell/Embrun partici-pants grow to a majority over the yearsas word has gotten out about the goodfellowship and sportsmanlike activitiesoffered.

I won’t divulge names except thoseof family members out of fear of beingexcluded from the guest list next year.I’m not worried about being excludedfrom my family. Should I be?

Suffice it to say, you can tell whowas on the tour by their sheepishexpressions around town this week,sheepish because of their actual golfscores or because they shaved them alittle to ease the shame.

Golf certainly is a strange custom.Apparently, whacking small whiteballs into the bush, sand or a strategi-cally placed pond is supposed to berelaxing, fulfilling, rejuvenating even.

For me and many others, it actuallybrings frustration, self-recrimination,feelings of inadequacy and thoughts ofviolence. I’m not kidding here folks:Starting about the 12th hole at morethan one of the four courses we played,I held a club stretched out between myhands and contemplated snapping it intwo.

The only thing that held me backwas the knowledge that my fellowgolfers would find such ungentlemanlyconduct reprehensible… even thoughthey might be considering it them-selves.

Instead of breaking a club, I keptthe stress boiling inside, increasing thelikelihood of cardiac arrest. Thank Godwe have a doctor and a priest on thetour, not to mention a gaggle oflawyers!

I was one of those guys who sworehe would never golf, that it was a gamebest left to senior citizens in white-belted polyester and to social misfits.You know what finally swayed me?My younger, less discriminating broth-ers Peter and Mike who pressed me foryears to join their annual golf holiday!

“Why don’t you come to OceanCity this year?” they’d cajole begin-ning in January.

“Because I don’t golf and I don’tever want to start,” I’d painstakinglyexplain for the umpteenth time. (Theseboys are a little slow on the uptake).

“Do you drink beer?” they wouldthen ask gleefully in unison.

“Why, yes I do.”“Say no more!” they’d shriek with

girlish delight. On grounds they need-ed some mature leadership from theirbig bro, I finally relented and joinedthe tour. Miracle of miracles, brotherMark who’s close in age to myself andwho hated golf even more than I, buck-led to the pressure last year and hasnow survived his second sortie.

The first time I went to OC, I didn’t

own clubs and I didn’t bring somebody

else’s. Dressed in cowboy boots and a

long-rider coat, I stalked the fairways,

trying to get a feel for the game and a

better handle on what the hell I was

doing there.

At one point, I walked into a club-

house sporting the boots and duster

and an American asked in dismay: “Is

that the way you Canadians dress for

golf?”So, I said to myself, this is what

we’ll be dealing with!We’ve had a lot of laughs over the

years… trying to master the game,playing cards late into the night,singing along in three-part harmony inthe hospitality suite, dining out inrestaurants with big-screen TVs,board-walking, celebrating, commiser-ating, even shopping in outlet stores.

This year, though, there was a littletrouble in paradise. For the first time,one of our crew got mugged walkingback alone late at night the four blocksfrom one of our favourite restaurants toour rented condos.

He was jumped, roughed up, partic-ularly the face and one hand, andrelieved of $200. He didn’t get adescription of the perp and no policereport was filed, the consensus beingthat it would be more trouble than itwas worth. It was the victim’s firsttime on the trip, obviously not the mostwelcoming thing that could have hap-pened.

Walking alone at night is somethingmost of us have done many times with-out incident. The fact that OC is atourist town and we’re there pre-sea-son when few people are out on thestreets always gave us a feeling ofsecurity.

We won’t be intimidated. We’vealready decided that, from now on,we’ll always get around town at leastin pairs. Come next April, we’ll saddleup once again and head south to duffsome balls in Ocean City.

A close shave

The Editor,

The Russell Dump

the Dump Now

Committee challenges

all federal election can-

didates in Glengarry-

Prescott-Russell to take

a stand on the proposed

Taggart Miller mega-

dump.

The dump proposal

is one of the most criti-

cal election issues in

the riding and we are

asking you, as a viable

candidate, to clearly

state your position for

or against.

By being prepared to

thoroughly explain

your views, you can

best help residents

decide how to vote.

The committee asks

that each candidate:

• Be prepared to

clearly answer ques-

tions from residents

about the dump scheme

at all-candidates meet-

ings and door-to-door

visits.

• Be prepared to

commit, if elected, to

meeting as soon as

possible with provin-

cial counterparts to dis-

cuss how to stop the

controversial project.

Send your written

position on the dump

issue to

info@dumpthedump-

now.ca for posting on

our website.

The committee takes

this opportunity to

remind you that thou-

sands of Glengarry-

Prescott-Russell voters

have signed petitions

opposing the looming

dump threat.

They fear that their

land, air and water

could be contaminated

by the storage of indus-

trial and commercial

waste at the proposed

Russell Village site.

As a resident of

Glengarry-Prescott-

Russell, you have a

vested interest in the

future well-being of the

riding.

As a federal election

candidate, you have a

responsibility to voters

to speak out on the

dump threat.

Walter Cholowski,

President,

Dump the Dump Now

The ‘three angry men’ will make Canadians pay, pay, payTo Editor,

One was calm and cool and the other

three frustrated and angry. If that wasn’t

the case then why were un-prime minis-

terial comments made by Ignatieff? Why

did Duceppe look like he was going to

have a stroke or heart attack? Why did-

n’t Layton answer the questions being

posed?

The calm and cool one looked straight

into your face and mine when answering

the questions and wasn’t about to be

coerced into bad-mouthing or making

derogatory comments about the other

"leaders": something Ignatieff didn’t

appear to have a problem with.

One thing the three angry men don’t

seem to get, don’t want to get or just plain

haven’t got a clue about, is that the pur-

chase of the fighter jets will not take

place for another FIVE to TEN years -

NOT NOW. Yet that’s all they could talk

about. What they didn’t dare want to talk

about was where they were going to get

the money for all of the programs in their

platforms, that they want to implement.

Want to know where they’ll get it?

TAXES, PEOPLE, TAXES.

Billions and billions of tax dollars

coming out of your pocket and mine for

their pet projects.

They would never think of providing

our armed forces with what they need to

do their respective jobs. The Liberals

didn’t have a problem sending our men

and women off with a bunch of useless

junk to Afghanistan. Providing them

with the right stuff to do the job? Don’t

be absurd. But that’s what the fighters,

whenever they are purchased, will do

- provide them with the right stuff.

Just remember on May 2nd, if you

want to keep your taxes at the level they

are at now (I know they’re high but I sure

don’t want them to go any higher) keep

the three angry men at bay otherwise

you’re going to PAY, PAY, PAY.

Metcalfe CooperativeNursery School hosted its7th Annual Easter BunnyBreakfast with close to 450people stopping by the RayWilson Hall for pancakesserved up by members of theMetcalfe detachment of theOttawa Fire Department,Easter egg decorating andother seasonally-themedcrafts, a performance by realbuccaneers from Ottawa’sPirate Adventures and, ofcourse, a visit by the whiteand furry one himself, theEaster Bunny.

MCNS Board President,

along with the teachers, are

a big part of our success

every year,” said Doornbos.

As in other years, it was

expected that the Easter

Bunny Breakfast would

Members of the provin-cial party addressed thosein attendance and took theiropportunity to thankLalonde for his contribu-tions. Ottawa-Vanier MPPMadeleine Meilleur,Stormont, Dundas andGlengarry MPP JimBrownell, Ottawa-OrleansMPP Phil McNeely all tookto the podium to thankLalonde.

As for his future,

Lalonde said he will con-

tinue to support the Liberal

party and his successor

while still being involved.

“Despite our results in this

riding, you can never say a

riding is won and we need

to keep working. I will def-

initely be fighting in the

campaign, who ever the

Liberal candidate may be.

One thing I always loved

during my time was run-

ning the election cam-

paign.”

The GPR Liberal

Association has plans to

name a candidate in late June.

NOW SCHEDULING BOOKINGS IN RUSSELL

CUMBERLAND— You

may not see a bunch of signs

or know a whole lot about

the players but the Green

Party is alive and well in

Glengarry-Prescott-Russell

and local candidate Sylvie

Lemieux, who resides in

Cumberland, has big ideas

for the riding.

Lemieux started her pro-

fessional career in the mili-

tary where she spent more

than 20 years. Afterward she

became a project manage-

ment consultant and has

worked in and out of the

government. She spent time

as a public servant handling

money for the government.

That is when she realized

that they could be handling

money better. It was not just

what she observed while

working for the government

that pushed her into politics.

Lemieux actually credits her

children for getting her

involved. “My kids told me

I was not doing enough.

They had teachers telling

them about conservation

and the importance of the

environment. I never really

wanted to be part of one of

the big political parties but

the Green Party appealed to

me.”

She began volunteering

for the party, and in 2007

became co-chair of the

Ontario Green Party. In

2008, she went to a candi-

date nomination meeting

and was nominated as the

candidate for GPR.

In the 2008 federal elec-

tion, Lemieux and the Green

Party got 5.63 per cent of

the vote in GPR and this

time she’s hoping to double

that. “One thing I noticed in

our riding is that even

though we do have a high

percentage of people voting,

what would happen if we

were to reach the 35 per cent

of people who do not vote?”

Lemieux has made that

group her target, as she tries

to promote herself and the

party.

Lemieux has been taking

any opportunity to reach

voters. While she admits she

doesn’t have the same budg-

et as the other parties she

still has a dedicated staff of

volunteers and feels she gets

an equal voice in the riding.

Even with the progress

she has made, Lemieux

knows there is a lot to do to

get more Green votes. “I

think it’s tough for our party,

one issue is the whole

breaking of tradition. The

Green Party has been

around for a while but

nowhere near as long as the

bigger parties. Many voters

have been life long support-

ers of those parties and

won’t consider Green. But it

is the young voters or voters

who may feel abused by the

big parties that we are tar-

geting.”

One area Lemieux is

pleased with is that the

Greens have no “party

whip” meaning members

would be free to vote their

conscience in Parliament.

The approach Lemieux

takes is very business like.

She is aiming to build a sus-

tainable and resilient local

economy based on innova-

tion. She also greatly values

communities, believing that

the first step is building

strong communities.

As for specific projects,

Lemieux has some ideas

including: youth apprentice-

ship programs, capitalizing

on ecotourism in the region,

heritage festivals and, inter-

estingly, expanding the pro-

posed Ottawa light transit

proposal. “A lot of people in

our riding, Rockland,

Cumberland, Russell,

Embrun work in downtown

Ottawa. It would be nice to

see an extension to the

Ottawa Transpo plan, for

light rail, in our area along

the existing line. We need to

go beyond the border of

Ottawa and see the train go

out to communities and not

stop just at Blair Road.”

16. The students put on performances during the day on Friday, for the rest of the students at the

school, and Friday evening, Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening for the public. In total, 40

students, grades eight to 12, were involved in all aspects of the production that had been in the works

since September. Here Alice, played by Jenna-May Clune, encounters playing cards, from left,

By Dave ScottSpecial to The VillagerWho at the beginning of the season could

have foreseen this outcome? With a numberof first year players and being slotted intothe always competitive “B” division ofNovice hockey, a prediction of finishing theseason by winning the Championship wouldhave likely earned you more than a few curi-ous looks, but happen it did. Neverthelesslike any good ending, the story of how itcame to be is often more interesting than theresult, and the play-off story of our NoviceB1 Warriors who were sponsored byEmbrun Dodge as their “Dodge CaravanKids” is one for the ages. Lead by Head Coach Ian Sturgeon, along

with Assistant John O’Halloran andMotivational Speaker of the Year DaveRama, the Novice B1 Warriors finished theseason in the middle of the pack and quali-fied for the last spot in the “A side” of theplayoffs. A team like this would often bereferred to as a Cinderella Team, howeverthis moniker would actually be well suitedto this year’s team as seven of the 16 playerswere girls. Undaunted by their position inthe regular season standings the Warriorsswept their first three games in the roundrobin portion of the playoffs and sent noticeto the rest of the league that this team wasone to be watched. Due to their powerfulplay, the team was automatically advancedto the semi-final where they dispatched theGloucester Cougars from the play-offs in asee-saw battle in which Eathen Felts took

charge of the team’s destiny by scoring animpressive hat-trick. Matthew “The Wall”O’Halloran, who took on full-time goaltend-ing duties for the playoffs, showed everyonethat he had saved his best for last, as oppo-sition shooters were left scratching theirheads trying to figure out how to beat theacrobatic eight-year-old phenom. To makethings even harder, whenever he let out therare rebound, the opposition would have tofind their way past Mitchell “Big M”Sturgeon, Jaiden Longval, Courtney Daley,Aidan McPhail or the “Twin Towers”Ronnie Scott and Brooklyn Rama. So on “Final Saturday” the Warriors

would be faced with the task of taking onthe Cumberland Canucks who, like their

west coast counterparts, were having a sea-son to be remembered. They had only losttwo games all season and were feeling con-fident that this number was going to remainunchanged. The game started out as a tightaffair as both teams came out tentative.However, at the five minute mark of the sec-ond period, the Canucks opened the scoringand took the lead over the Warriors.However, if there was something that thisteam didn’t know how to do, it was quit.Lead by Rookie of The Year candidate;Jacob Rainville and “The Roadrunner”Norah Tuck, the onslaught to the Canuck netbegan. The Canucks were back on theirheels as Quinten Reid became a fixture infront of the net and Joshua Norris played the

cycle game better than most NHL forwards.Kate “The Skate” Thompson had theCanuck defense reeling with her breakneckspeed and pinpoint passing to point manAlex “The Rifle” Brown. Finally at the sixminute mark of the third period MitchellSturgeon scored the equalizer and theCanucks knew their hopes were beginningto fade. Once the dam was open the Warriorskept their side two feet on the pedal andwith 2:11 left in the game Eathen “E” Feltsscored the go ahead goal. The championship was now within grasp,

however these Canucks didn’t get to thefinal by being pushovers and they knew theystill had a chance. The final two minutessaw two heroic saves by Matt O’Halloranand a counter attack lead by rookies AmelieBuma and Taylor Henry that had the crowdcome out of their seats. As the buzzer sound-ed; parents, coaches and players all couldn’tbelieve this fairytale ending to a wonderfulseason had come true, but it had and it wasour Warriors skating a victory lap with theChampionship Banner!The team would also like to thank

Deputy Coach Jason Thompson and hisrookie assistant Todd Marcellus and CoachKevin, who gave time for on ice instructionover the season. A special thank you alsogoes out to our excellent Manager PatriciaClement for keeping us organized andinformed. A perfect ending to a great sea-son, one that will no doubt make us all lookforward to next season when we try to do itall over once again.

RUSSELL—The villageof Russell had been count-ing down the days untilScott Woods and his bandwere coming to visit, as theysold out all tickets to theevent weeks in advance.Finally, on April 16, Woodscame to St. Andrew’s andSt. Paul’s United Church toput on his band’s show.

Each year, Woods releas-es a new album, which hebases the show around. Thisyear, the album was titled“All Aboard” and featuredtrain-inspired music. Thecrowd was anxious for theshow as the church was fullalmost an hour before theshow even began.

Woods’ love of the fiddlestarted at a young age. Hegrew up in Fergus, Ontarionorth of Guelph, and wasthe youngest of four. All ofhis siblings and his fatherplayed the fiddle so as soonas he was able Woods, too,began to play.

When he was seven, hebegan going to fiddle com-petitions and eventuallycaptured many titles. He is atwo-time winner of theCanadian Open Fiddle

Championships in 1993 and1996 and two-timeCanadian Grand Masters’champion in 1998 and 1999.

In the early 80’s Woodstook over the band that hisfather, Merv Woods, startedin the 1950’s. After beingthrust into the limelight,Woods began to get his feetwet in all aspects of theband. “I think at first a lot ofpeople came to our showsbecause they knew my dad’smusic and they liked oursound as well.”

In 2003, Merv passedaway but the band still paystribute to him with each oftheir shows and continues tobe a family affair as Scotttries to keep the family tra-dition alive with the nextgeneration. In the band areScott’s sister Kendra(Woods) Norris, his motherCarolyn, Ivan Felker, whowas originally hired byMerv, his nephew BenNorris, niece Keayla Woods,Amanda MacInnis and DuffMacDonald.

The majority of theband’s shows take place inchurches as Woods explainsit is convenient and helps

worthy causes. “A lot of ourshows are fundraisers and alot are for churches. But wedo shows for all types ofgroups, such as historicalsocieties and hospitals. It is

a good thing for churchesbecause they have the venueand if they want to do some-thing different, as afundraiser, they can have aconcert.”

The group is on a largetour across Canada. Woodsestimates that they do about150 shows each year. Nextyear they will even be goinginternational, as they have

already signed on to do atour in Florida.

The event had the packedchurch alive as those whobought a ticket were not dis-appointed.


MAPLE RIDGE — TheUpper Canada Ice madetheir debut on April 16, asthey hosted a one-day tour-nament at North DundasDistrict High School. Theteam was started byNDDHS junior basketballcoach Deanna Corbett-White who wanted to giveplayers a chance to keepplaying basketball after theirseason ended in February.The team is made up ofgrade nine and ten playersfrom NDDHS, St. ThomasAquinas in Russell andRothwell-Osnabruck. Theteam played two games onthis day against theGloucester Selects andGloucester Wolverines.Unfortunately, the Ice wereunable to grab a win in theirfirst two games as they lost41-35 and 56-36. Ice 35 - Selects 41

In their first game of theday, the Ice took on theGloucester Selects. The Icestruggled in this one withtheir shooting but made upfor it with good defensiveplay and dominating therebound game. It was closein the first, but the Selectstook the slim 8-6 lead to thefirst break.

In the second, the Icereally struggled with theirshooting and failed to net asingle field goal. Luckily forthem, they were able toknock down four freethrows. The Selects addedanother nine points andwere up 17-8 at recess.

The Ice stormed back inthe third quarter. They wereled by Wes Schmidtke, whoput up seven points in thequarter, but the ice stilltrailed 29-20. In the fourth,the Ice added 13 morepoints but the Selects added12 to their total and held onfor the 41-35 win.Schmidtke lead all scorersin the game with 16 points.The Selects won this gameby committee, as each oftheir ten players had at leasttwo points. Ice 36 - Wolverines 56

The Ice took to the courtagain later in the day againstanother team fromGloucester, the Wolverines.It was even early on with theIce driving to the basketwell and the Wolverinesshooting well from every-where on the floor. Late inthe first the Wolverines wenton a run and finished thefirst leading 19-9.

In the second, the Icewere very rushed with theiroffense which lead to mis-takes and turnovers. The Icerebounded well and madethe most of chances at theline, but trailed 29-17 at thehalf.

The Ice started the sec-ond half well, draining acouple quick points. Theyswitched up their game planand started to get the balldown low to Schmidtke whohad his best quarter of thegame scoring nine points.They got some key rebounds

and blocks on defense,which gave them a shot inthe fourth.

However, in the fourththe Wolverines stepped up

their game and poured in 18points, while the Ice couldonly muster eight. Theytook the loss, 56-36. Onceagain Schmidtke led all

scores in the game with 13points.

Coach Corbett-Whitewas very pleased with theteam’s defense but feels they

need to work on their shoot-ing. The team will look to bepart of as many tournamentsas possible as they build theprogram.

The Upper Canada Ice took part in a tournament on April 16, at North Dundas District High School.The team was started by North Dundas’ junior basketball coach Deanna Corbett-White and featuresplayers, in grades nine and ten, from NDDHS, St. Thomas Aquinas and Rothwell-Osnabruck HighSchool. The team took on strong club teams from Ottawa, and while keeping the games close,unfortunately dropped both of their games. Here, Shaun Crook shoots the close jumper and score twoof his eight points in the second game of the day. The Ice went on to lose this game 56-36.
