GRCA parks offer new pricing to encourage usage CAMBRIDGE - G r a n d River Conservation Authority (GRCA) parks are opening for the 2013 season with a new pricing structure that officials say will help people enjoy the parks more often. The new prices encourage mid-week and shoulder season visits with lower camping and day-use fees. Prices will be higher during the busy summer season and on weekends. And this year there is a new 10 per cent seniors’ discount for day use. There is also a 10% seniors discount on vehicle season passes. The GRCA operates 11 parks, eight of which offer camping. They will be open until Oct. 15. Campers will get a $7 per night break if they visit one

of the eight campgrounds on a weekday before June 13 or after Sept. 3. That’s a reduction from the normal summer weekday fees of $34 to $51 a night depending on the park and level of service. Campers will pay a bit more on weekends and long weekends. Fees for adult day use will range from $5.50 to $6 depending on the park and the day of the week. The child’s fee (ages six to 14) will range from $2.75 to $3. Children five and under are free. Season passes, which allow unlimited access to all parks for a carload, will be $122. More information on each park, including fees, can be found in the Parks section of the GRCA website at www. grandriver.ca.

Special Needs Soccer: Sportsmanship at its best by Kelly Waterhouse

ELORA - It’s raining on the soccer pitch at Southridge Field here, but the athletes don’t seem to care. They are too busy laughing, high-fiving and chasing a soccer ball to be distracted by a little thing like rain. This is their night to play. The athletes belong to Fergus-Elora and District Soccer (FEDS), as part of the adult Special Needs Soccer (SNS) league. “Every Friday night they really look forward to soccer because it’s part of their routine,” said Ashley Murray, a support worker at a group home in Fergus. She has three individuals from her facility who participate. “I think it gives them a chance to really socialize with their peers and not feel the pressure of being excluded in other ways.” In the middle of the action, keeping the ball in play with a smile and infectious enthusiasm is Pat Espina, president of FEDS since 2004. He is also the creator of the SNS team, and has served as its coach since 2010. His daughter Michelle was the inspiration for the league. “My wife Irene and my daughters Jessica, Michelle and Allison have been involved with the challenges and desires of special needs people since Michelle was born,” Espina explained. “Michelle had a condition called Williams Syndrome, which resulted in her having some special needs. Michelle died in 2005 unexpectedly at age 17. “Because of our experiences our family has some understanding with the needs that this part of the community has and also understands that most of them want to do what all other people do. They just have challenges while doing it.” Soccer is a passion for Espina, a native of Chile who says of his sport, “in Chile it is a way of life, so I guess it is in my blood.” In his role, he has coached girls soccer for 10 years, and been an active player for the last 12 years. “At some point I thought that it would be great that FEDS would have a program for special needs people, especially adult special needs people. Many adult special needs people do not get too many opportunities to experience the type of experience that FEDS has to offer through soccer.” He credits the support of the volunteer executive board of FEDS for making the league a reality. The idea was a success and the league has grown to 34 athletes between the ages of 17 to 55, drawing players from Arthur, Mount Forest, Hillsburgh, Elmira, Guelph and Centre Wellington. “FEDS works with the Guelph Community Living organization, who help us

reach the members that we have,” Espina said. Every Friday for the past three years, throughout the soccer season, Barbara WebsterPowell and Stephen Powell bring their son Leif, 18, to join in the games. Leif, a student at John F. Ross, also plays basketball in winter and enjoys swimming. But Webster-Powell says being a soccer mom is fun. “There is something about this that totally de-stresses me. It’s just so lovely,” she said. “There is nothing like this in Guelph,” added Stephen, who has no problem making the short trip to Centre Wellington for the sport. That’s because these parents see the value of soccer in their son’s life. “Leif can say, ‘I play soccer,’ just like everybody else,” said Webster-Powell. The sport of soccer, she adds, also gives her son life and social skills. “It’s the practical stuff, like fresh air and exercise and a sense of belonging to a group ... without this, people like Leif can feel ostracized.” It’s the inclusiveness of the group, Webster-Powell says, that makes the league a success. “They accommodate all the players, no matter what the skills, so I think the athletes experience a sense of achievement and fun,” said WebsterPowell. “They all play together.” That’s exactly what Espina strives for with the SNS league. “Soccer offers them an opportunity to participate in a team sport where they can try to expand their abilities and experience the great game while experiencing the many other benefits that come with it,” Espina said. “I hope that they feel that they can be soccer players and that they are capable of belonging to a club like FEDS.” Inclusiveness is key, he believes. “Our special needs soccer players are made to feel as the rest of our FEDS members. That is the point,” Espina said. “They pay their fees, they use our soccer balls, they get their jerseys, shorts and socks. We’re all part of the same club. We love it.” For Riley Hillis, 21, of Guelph-Eramosa, being a part of a team is important. He is active in basketball, bowling, swimming and track and field, and this is his third year on the FEDS team. “I think the league is fantastic,” said Riley’s father, Kerry Hillis. “Riley’s sisters grew up playing soccer and he never had that opportunity.” While some of the athletes are able to run and kick the ball and follow the basic structure of the play, others require their support workers to take the field alongside them. “I think many of the workers love to come out as they see

their people doing something that they truly enjoy, get fresh air, exercise, participate and socialize,” said Espina. Murray agrees. She believes the skills taught in the league are important, from running and kicking the ball, to scoring goals and working together. “The coaches really encourage their independence, which is very important,” Murray said. “I think they offer a lot of support and encouragement.” Cheered on by his aunt Jan Hillis, Riley enjoys being a part of the team atmosphere. “It’s true sportsmanship,” said Jan. “Everybody shares. Everybody gets a chance.” That kind of respect isn’t just what these athletes are taught, but who they are. “They are all very respectful, caring and patient for each other,” said Espina. “When one of our players takes the ball and is moving very, very slowly

out of the experience,” said Espina. “I think many are surprised at what the group is capable of. I am amazed every week at what they can do.” It’s his enthusiasm for the players, as much as the sport, that makes Espina the kind of coach that has earned the respect of the parents of the special needs athletes, and the affection of the athletes themselves. “Coach Pat is wonderful. He greets every player ... always with a smile. It’s just lovely,” said Webster-Powell. “He has a big, big heart and you can tell the players just love him.” She adds, “He is very respectful of all the players and as a result, the game is a very respectful game.” Jan Hillis agrees. “He has a huge amount of patience and everybody gets a chance, and everybody shines.”

“I hope they feel they can be soccer players and that they are capable of belonging to a club like FEDS.” - Coach Pat Espina, president of Fergus-Elora and District Soccer. with the ball, all of the players let that player carry the ball and stand back, they just wait for their turn. When someone falls, they all stop and only continue when that person is okay.” Espina’s respect for his players is obvious, and he enjoys their honesty. “That is one of the things that I have learned about special needs people. They tell it to you like they feel it. If they are happy they show you true caring. When they are mad, they tell you about it or they show it. When they are sad, you feel their sadness,” Espina said. Watching from the sidelines, Webster-Powell says, “There is always laughter and a lot of congratulations ... and a lot of clapping and high-fives.” She also liked that players will stop to allow for each other’s turn. “One of my favorite stories was a game where someone scored on the goalie and the goalie cheered ... because it was a goal,” said WebsterPowell, of the overall spirit of the game. This kind of enjoyment for the families is important to Espina’s goal with the league. “I think the families get joy

That is Espina’s goal. “I get joy out of the experience. Everything about this program is right,” Espina said. “They (the athletes) give me confirmation that they are all capable of experiencing fun and able to be a part of something good. I hope that some of what they learn at soccer may be of use in their lives, such as having courage to try other experiences because they can do things others can do.” But Espina can’t do it alone. Volunteer coaches are an important part of the special needs league. “We have a wonderful group of volunteers now,” said Espina. “I think they all love the experience and feel like I do. We always need more volunteers and not only with the SNS program, but also with our other programs. No real soccer training is needed but we have offered some basic training in the past.” Mark DePass has been a soccer player with FEDS for many years, and was inspired by Espina’s vision for the SNS league. “I knew that I would like to play a part, and when the volunteer coaching opportunity came up, it was the perfect opportunity to become

involved,” DePass said. “I believe coaching athletes at any level can be very rewarding. I think in our case, it might even be a little more rewarding because we are dealing with people who haven’t had many opportunities to play organized sports.” He notes the pride he takes in seeing the players who are intimidated early in the season, often preferring to be on the sidelines, but later join in the game. “One day each of them would eventually take the plunge and join in. Now they are right in the middle of things and more fully involved with the play. Playing a part in that transition can be very rewarding,” DePass said. “Just sharing in their enjoyment on the field and seeing how quickly and far they have progressed in their technical and team playing skills, has been very inspiring.” DePass is the mechanical manager of Trade-Mark Industrial Inc., the corporate sponsor for the SNS team, and he’s proud to link the two organizations together. “FEDS’ Special Needs Soccer program is a fantastic example to soccer clubs across Ontario of what can be done. Trade-Mark is just happy to have been given the opportunity to be involved with this team and to have the chance to give back a little to this community,” DePass said. He feels it is a sound investment into a group of remarkable athletes. “It amazed us in the beginning what naturally good team players we have in our group. The respect they show to each other is amazing,” DePass said. “Without being asked, higher skilled players will give space and time opportunities with the ball to not only their teammates but also to the opposing team’s players so that everyone can get time on the ball, enjoy themselves and improve at the same time. The experience of playing on a team gives them a chance to develop these skills that they already have.” To celebrate the achievements of the athletes in the SNS league, the coaches developed a new event, the first Special Needs Soccer Festival, which will be held July 6 from 12 to 4pm at Victoria Park in Fergus. “Well, this is a very unique event. As far as I know there has not been anything like this,” said Espina, who has invited groups from Halton

Hills and Kitchener to take part in an afternoon of non-competitive soccer and other activities. The event is open to adults, 16 years of age and over, belonging to a special needs soccer program. “In total we should have about 80 to 90 participants,” he said. “We will be having two sets of soccer games, we will have music, festival type games, food, face painting, clowns, trophies and most important, so it seems, cake for all.” While the event is free, donations will be collected to support expenses and fund future plans to build an indoor/ outdoor arena. “We hope that our community will embrace the event and will come to support the players and experience something that they have most likely not experienced before,” Espina said. He credits the sponsors for making this event possible. “We have terrific sponsors. Our number one sponsor is Trade Mark Industrial Inc. They have been very caring and giving since the beginning of the program. For the festival we also have some other sponsors including: Walmart, Jim and Maureen Farquharson (Remax), Brazilian Soccer School, Musashi, and the Quatro Group,” said Espina. “The festival will cost a significant amount of money. Whatever sponsors we can get, the better.” It’s a big undertaking, but for the athletes, it’s exciting to be in a tournament atmosphere, meeting new people and enjoying the sport of soccer. “This is all new to all of us,” said Espina. “I think that if the festival is successful, there is a good chance that it could be a yearly event.” DePass believes the growth of the SNS league is an indication the future is a positive one. “I feel that all of our soccer players enjoy themselves each week. Most of them are returning players and every year we are growing in numbers,” DePass said. That makes Espina very proud. “I think all of our assistants and I really love to see those special moments, such as when one of our players, that has never scored, scores a goal, or as simple as one of the members whose whole purpose for the year was to step on the field and does,” he said. “This is what SNS is about.” For more information visit www.fedssoccer.ca.

UNDERSTANDING AND REDUCING NOISE NUISANCE FROM STATIONARY FARM EQUIPMENT - by Hugh Fraser, Agriculture Engineer, OMAF and MRA Noise is an unwanted sound. Although rural areas are generally quiet, farmers live in a competitive world, and modern farms sometimes have to use noisy stationary equipment. Some neighbours might not like the noise they produce. Unresolved rural noise problems can result in poor neighbour relationships. Avoid problems before they start by using best management practices and common sense. For background information on noise from stationary farm equipment and some Best Management Practices to reduce possible nuisance for neighbours, visit: www. omafra.gov.on.ca. VALUE-ADDED AGRICULTURE VIRTUAL COMMUNITY ESTABLISHED The Ministry of Agriculture and Food and the Ministry of Rural Affairs, in partnership with the University of Guelph, has launched a pilot virtual community for farmers, rural entrepreneurs, students and advisors to network and learn from each other about adding value to farm businesses. A virtual community is an online social network where people who have similar interests can come together to share and learn from each other. The Exploring Value Added Opportunities (EVAO) virtual community pilot builds on the Ministry’s new ELearning modules, workshops and other training resources. It is free and easy to join. Whether you are just starting out, or have years of experience to share you can be involved as much as you like. All you need is an interest in adding value, and internet access to join us on Facebook, Linked In, and Twitter. Go to: www.ontario.ca/e996 to access the EVAO resources including workshop dates and e-learning sign up. SECURING YOUR HAY SUPPLY IN A CASH CROP WORLD by Barry Potter, Agriculture Development Advisor, OMAF and MRA, Virtual Beef, May 2013 Hay has been in short supply this past year, as the dry weather

reduced overall yield for forage crops across the province in 2012. However, a more permanent influence on hay supply in your area may very well be the high price of commodities such as corn, soybeans, cereals and canola. Hay has been a lower value crop compared to other commodities in the crop world, and beef farmers watch in frustration as cash croppers outbid them for rented land. Hay gets ploughed under in their “backyard�, leaving beef farmers to either source hay elsewhere or sell cows. For further reading, please visit: www.omafra.gov.on.ca.

Wanted: Ontario farmers to grow hazelnuts SIMCOE - Erie Innovation and Commercialization (EIC) is looking for farmers who are interested in being part of one of Ontario’s newest crops: hazelnuts. Varieties have been identified that will grow well in Ontario’s climate and the emerging sector is now seeking farmers who are willing to start planting some of these trees. “We have an identified market potential in Ontario for hazelnuts that’s equivalent to about 10,000 hectares of trees,� says John Kelly, vice president

of EIC, an initiative of the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association. “Hazelnuts can be grown anywhere in Ontario that apples are, and the revenue potential for this crop is significant.� It can take four years for hazelnut trees to start bearing fruit and seven years before they hit full production. By then, however, the potential net return is estimated at $2,000 per acre. Brantford’s Ferrero Inc., which manufactures Nutella and Ferrero Rocher chocolates,

currently imports its hazelnut supply but is very interested in accessing a stable, locally grown source. Anyone interested in planting hazelnuts or learning more should contact EIC at 519-426-7913. Project funding is provided in part by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada through the Canadian Agricultural Adaptation Program. In Ontario, this program is delivered by the Agricultural Adaptation Council. For more information visit www.erieinnovation.com.

STRATFORD - The amalgamation of the Ontario Bean Producers’ Marketing Board and the Ontario Coloured Bean Growers Association to become Ontario Bean Growers is well underway, with the announcement of a general manager and the setting of 2013 license fees. Erin Morgan (formerly Fletcher) has been hired as the general manager of Ontario Bean Growers, working from the new office at 59 Lorne Avenue East in Stratford. As of July 1 all producers of beans in the province will report production and pay license fees to the new Ontario Bean Growers organization. License fees for all beans for the 2013 production year have been set at $6.60 per tonne ($0.30 per cwt).

“We are excited for this new chapter in bean production in Ontario with the creation of this new board,” says Marinus Bakker, chair of the Ontario Bean Producers’ Marketing Board. “More information about the board of directors and the new regulations will be available to producers after July 1.” As the July 1 commencement date approaches, Morgan will be providing regular updates to producers on the Ontario Bean Growers website as details become available at http://www.ontariobeans. on.ca/producers/news/. “Our commitment to our members as this process continues is transparency,” says Gary Fluttert, chair of the Ontario Coloured Bean

Growers Association. “Our new general manager has gone through this process of amalgamation as a manager at Grain Farmers of Ontario, and we are anticipating a productive and exciting next few months as we get the new organization up and running.” Ontario Bean Growers is a not for profit organization that represents the interests of farmers in Ontario that grow beans. Founded in 2013, the organization is an amalgamation of the Ontario Bean Producers’ Marketing Board and the Ontario Coloured Bean Growers Association. The farmer members of Ontario Bean Growers produce fifteen different types of beans on 130,000 acres annually.

OFA: Government needs to pick up pace to sustain horse racing industry by Mark Wales, President, Ontario Federation of Agriculture The provincial government is going in circles when it comes to the Ontario horse racing industry. Since the announcement cancelling the Slots at Racetrack program in March 2012, we’ve seen numerous reports from the Horse Racing Industry Transition Panel, a group of former Ontario cabinet ministers tasked with working with the horse racing

industry and consulting on the sector’s transition. And now we can expect another report this month. But our industry needs less talk and more action. Premier Kathleen Wynne has reportedly requested the transition panel develop a plan that will sustain the future of horse racing in Ontario. The new plan will be aimed at: - modernizing the governance and regulation of the horse racing industry; - growing the fan base and providing more wagering

options; - providing ongoing government support; and - ensuring animal welfare. A draft plan for consultation is due this month, with a final plan to be complete by October 2013. But the Ontario horse racing industry can’t wait for another report hoping for a long-term lifeline to save this once thriving sector. We’ve seen too little and it may already be too late. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) wants

In 2012, prices at fall yearling sales dropped an average 42% over 2011. Ontario’s horse racing industry and everything it touches is in crisis. We don’t need another report to tell us how to make the horse racing industry work – we need action before we lose our industry.

The evolution of Canada Day as our national holiday Formerly known as “Dominion Day,” Canada Day marks the anniversary of the Constitution Act of 1867, joining Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the Canada province (now Ontario and

Quebec) into a single country. The Constitution Act granted Canada a substantial amount of independence from England, although complete independence was not given until 1982. The first official

celebration was held in 1917 to honor Canada’s 50th birthday. The government first recognized Canada Day in 1958 by holding a trooping of the color on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Canada’s centennial marked

the first widespread celebration in 1967. The holiday was finally made official by a unanimous vote on Oct. 27, 1982; the same year that the Canada Act was passed by Parliament.

FRANK WILKS

HILLSBURG - The awardwinning show, “I Am Not Neil Young, The Musical� is coming to Hillsburgh, for two performances only, on June 29. Written by Don Lamoureux and Frank Wilks, former singer and guitarist of Buffalo Springfield Revisited, the show is an upbeat multi-media presentation, with back-projections featuring episodes from Neil Young’s career, plus music from Wilks and a talented group of musicians, as Wilks tells his stories of the ups anddowns of living a rock-star life in the shadow of Neil Young. Having filled the shoes of

Neil Young and Richie Furray in the band he was actually mistaken for Neil Young himself, because he sounded so much like him. Wilks ends up finding himself and dealing with issues in his life. In the second half of the show, Wilks will be performing a solo concert of Buffalo Springfield songs as well as his own songs from his 10 CDs. The show plays at 2:30pm and 8pm, at Century Church Theatre, 72 Trafalgar Road, Hillsburgh. Tickets are $27 and may be reserved at 519-8554586. www.centurychurchtheatre.com

Showstoppers - Diana Braithwaite and Chris Whitely at the 2012 Underground Railroad Music Festival. Organizers recently announced the festival will switch formats from an annual event to semi-annual, with the next festival now scheduled for August, 2014. Advertiser file photo

Underground Railroad Music Festival changes format to semi-annual event by Patrick Raftis DRAYTON – The Underground Railroad Music Festival won’t be held here this year, but organizer Diana Braithwaite says the festival will be back in 2014. Braithwaite, who initiated the festival in 2009, says plans are in the works to hold the event every second year, rather than annually. “The festival actually is going really well, and it’s been quite successful,” said Braithwaite. “In order to keep it a manageable event for myself at this time, it kind of works having it every two years. “It’s quite a lot of work and I want to start to get more involvement with the community as well so I’m going to be working on that and also

bringing in a few national and international acts. “There’s an old saying, ‘Don’t hang your hat where your hand can’t reach.’ I want to make sure I can reach my hat,” she quipped. Braithwaite says she is aiming to hold the 2014 festival in August and is hoping to find a date, which won’t conflict with other major August events such as the Fergus Scottish Festival and Highland Games and the Kitchener Blues Festival. Past festivals have proven popular, attracting crowds estimated at 400 to 600 people, said Braithwaite, who anticipates no problems with getting things rolling again for future events, “I’ve already had a ton of calls about it, and promo-

tional opportunities have come in as well,” she notes. “So I know that when we’re back in 2014 that it’s going to be well received.” The 2014 festival will be the fifth since it was initiated by Braithwaite, a Toronto-based musician and a descendant of the original black settlers of the Queen’s Bush area. The first two festivals were held in Glen Allan, which was considered a main terminus of the Underground Railroad, the term for a series of safe houses and individuals who helped black slaves reach Canada from the United States in the early 1800s. The event was moved to Drayton’s Centennial Park in 2011 to take advantage of parking and other facilities.

FERGUS - Toast of the Towns is returning to the Fergus Grand Theatre and this time it is in support of concert founder Alan Argue and family. This time the event is being put on by family and friends of Argue, who was recently diagnosed with cancer. Proceeds from the event will help offset the costs of treatment, travel and other expenses the family have had to incur over recent months. The event will be held on July 5 at 7pm and will feature familiar local performers including Paul Hock, Megan Thoms, Adam J. Shaw, Andrew Robillard, Bill Beattie, Donna Pritchard, Deb Deckert and many more. Audience members will also have the opportunity to participate in a silent auction where pieces of Argue’s art work will be featured as well as donations from area merchants. Argue lived in Centre Wellington for more than 30 years before recently moving to Alberta to live with his daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter. He was, and continues to be, a strong supporter of local arts and culture. With a talent for both music and painting, he was a regular participant in local art exhibitions and performances. He was also the coordinator for the Fergus Grand Theatre for several years and the director of popular performances such as Snow, Bah-Humbug and many

Field lacrosse team wins provincial gold CENTRE WELLINGTON - The U-17 Centre Wellington (CW) Mohawks Field Lacrosse team finished the regular season in first place in the West Ontario B Division with a record of five wins and one loss. The team then entered the provincial qualifier weekend as a top contender for B Division. The first team it met was St. Catharines under the lights at Wilfrid Laurier University. Both teams played outstanding defence with solid netminding as the game ended in a 5-5 tie. The next team they faced

was Oakville and the Mohawks finished with a solid 13-7 win. The Mohawks then focused their attention on their rivals Guelph and managed to double up on them with a 10-5 win. The final game of the qualifiers was versus Orangeville, a team known to produce excellent field lacrosse players and a very competitive centre. The Mohawks played a near perfect game, with a 9-1 win. The Mohawks ended the qualifiers with a solid three wins and one tie record, putting them in first place representing the west division and qualifying for the provincial champi-

Once again the Mohawks faced Orangeville and put forth a strong 14-3 win. The last game of the round robin play saw the Mohawks face Whitby, but they only managed to score seven goals to Whitby’s 10. Once the calculations were performed to determine the semi-final teams, the Mohawks ended up in first place in their pool. The semi-final was against a Mississauga team. CW learned from their loss to Whitby that they needed to pull together as a team if they wanted to end up as provincial champs. The Mohawks were up to the task and won their game 10-5, which put them into the championship game against Orangeville. The Mohawks had the confidence needed to put together a strong game against Orangeville and did not take them lightly. CW came out fast and tenacious. The Mohawks defence and goaltender kept Orangeville to minimal opportunities while the Mohawks offence shared the scoring amongst the team. The game was called after three-quarters due to a lightning storm. The Mohawks were declared the champions with a 8-3 score after the third quarter. The team ends the season with a record of 12 wins, two losses and one tie, and a total of 164 goals and 86 goals against.

by Kris Svela FERGUS - It was a test run for students from several area schools on the rules and regulations of playing rugby - a sport they will seek out when they move on to high school. Of the eight teams taking part in the rugby training at Victoria Park on June 13, two were from John Black Public School in Fergus, three from St. Joseph Catholic School in Fergus, two from Egremont Community School in Holstein, and one from St. Theresa Catholic School in Elmira. Over 100 students participated in the second annual elementary school rugby day hosted by the Fergus Highland Rugby Club. John Black principal Bruce Davies dropped by to watch his students. “They (club representatives) have been coming to our school for about two weeks to train the students because rugby can have high injuries. My concerns were resolved when I saw the training they were getting,� Davies said. “We’re trying to give the

kids an opportunity to choose which sport they like.� Davies, who has been a principal at John Black for almost seven years, added, “In high school, myself, we were forced to play rugby without the training.� For the training session, the game was played similar to flag football, without the body contact for which rugby is known. Highland Rugby Club vice president Juli Brattan said the aim of the program is teach rugby skills and regulations to student who might consider playing when they attend high school. “The elementary school flag rugby day is about having fun and learning to play rugby,� Brattan said. “Since there are no other programs in the area like this, we intend to offer the event again next year and continue to grow the number of teams involved.� The Fergus club has been establish for over 20 years. “Our flag rugby programs are the fastest growing programs in our club,� Brattan

said. “We have established ourselves as a family-oriented club where you can bring all your kids to training on the same night, at the same time, and enjoy the family atmosphere on the pitch.� Brattan added, “We accommodate all age groups in our club from U-6 to senior men and women. Our U-18 women’s team has won the provincial championship for the last two years and continues to get stronger. “We have over 10 players who play in the provincial rugby program and we have three senior women who are currently playing with Team Canada.� Teams paid about $100 each to participate in the club program for students, Davies said. The day started with a skills session where the students learned basic rugby skills like pass-catch, evasive running, defence and kicking.

Municipal style blue box is a requirement for curbside collection of recyclables. Why? Efficiency • Visual consistency for drivers throughout routes with no question of resident’s intention • Lip allows consistent handling by collector • Cardboard boxes often fall apart when picked up, especially if they become wet Health and Safety • Nothing can poke through the rigid municipal style box • Bottom holes permit rain and snow to drain, and allow washing to prevent attraction of insects • Specific size limits likelihood of exceeding allowable weight (40 lb or 18.2 kg) www.wellington.ca/sws
