Dog develops fondness for leg o’law ROCKLAND – Two Russell County Detachment OPP officers suffered slight injuries when they were bitten by the same dog in separate visits Thurs., Jan. 5 to a home in Clarence-Rockland. The incidents have prompted the OPP to issue a public reminder to pet owners that they are responsible for the conduct of their animals when police visit their homes. It is the owners’ responsibility to have control of their dogs and to make sure they are securely tied outside in order to ensure the safety of everyone, the OPP warns. Every time a person is bitten by a dog, it is required that the municipal bylaw enforcement department be contacted along with the local health unit so it is important to keep records of the animal’s shots.
Pamela Pearson Villager Staff As the Russell Curling Club comes into its 100th year, the Pepsi Junior Provincial Curling Championships, a tournament for curlers 20 and younger, was held from Jan. 4 to 11. It has been a championship curling event since 1950, first as a men’s tournament and then as women’s as of 1972. The winning teams that emerged from Russell will represent the Ontario Curling Association (OCA) at the Canadian Junior Curling Championships, to be held in Napanee, in early February. The OCA is the governing body of curling in Southern Ontario. Northern Ontario Curling Association also held their finals this past week at the Atikokan Curling Club and the Sioux Lookout Golf and Curling Club.
The event this year had representatives from curling clubs from St. Thomas, Guelph, Grimbsy, Manotick (women’s finalist), Collingwood, Tam Heather in Toronto, Peterborough, Omemee (men’s finalist), Napanee, Annandale, Westmount, Chinguacousy in Brampton, Huntley, Sarnia and Almonte. Team Horton, from the Almonte Club, consisted of some local talent, including third Jordan Mark, from Winchester. Mark has played against some of the RCC Little Rocks in past years, as well as playing in the local club’s fun spiel Midnight Madness two years ago. Marks reports that, “The club looks awesome with the four sheets and the change in the sitting area is great.� Team skip Lauren Horton comes from a long line of curlers in Almonte, beginning at the age of nine, and her teammates

over the years have worked hard to reach this point. Horton’s team, also includes Cassandra Lewin and Jessica Armstrong, won the 2011 Ontario Bantam Girls title for curlers under 16. When asked if he felt the championship went well, RCC member and volunteer John Tobias said “Yes it was a tremendous success. We had over 50 volunteers and 30 sponsors who worked very hard to ensure this success.� He went on to say that he and Jim Campbell, RCC member and Canadian Curling Association Board of Directors Vice-Chair, applied to the OCA four years ago when the Russell Club’s expansion process first began. “We wanted a provincial championship for our new four-sheet club and also to celebrate our 100th anniversary.� The Villager spoke with different teams, officials and visitors to
the “new club� and comments ranged from “great ice and hospitality� to “feeling very welcomed and as curlers, they “Were treated like champions like being at the a Brier!� One OCA official commented “Russell has raised the bar so high for hosting the Provincial Juniors that it will be very difficult for another host to beat it�. One of the flag bearers for the Opening Ceremonies on Wednesday evening and long-time RCC member Sharon Courneyea told The Villager that she, as well as others, received many compliments from the coaches, parents and players. The event, sponsored by Pepsi and covered by Rogers TV, brought comments about “our great facility, the friendliness from all the volunteers, the great food�. Continued on page 11

OPP help in battling elder abuse, fraud
Fire hall tours: Educational...and free! Who doesn’t like seeing fire trucks up close? Better yet how much fun is it to sit in the trucks and try on bunker gear? Well, one place this happens very often is at the Russell Fire Hall during one of our many hall tours. The Russell Fire conDepartment ducts hall tours on a regular basis for many different groups; the Cubs and Beavers visit at least once every year and so do the Sparks and Brownies. We also have hockey teams Firefighter visit on occasion as K. O’Brien well. Hall tours are a great way for kids to see the equipment we have and get some explanation about how it works and what it is used for. We often find that the adults are just as curious about the equipment as the kids but are more shy to admit it. Hall tours are just as much fun for the firefighters who conduct them; we get to show-off the equipment that we have the privilege to care for, after all it is your equipment that we use. One great feature the Russell Fire Department has to offer during a hall tour is a visit to our Fire Safety Trailer, it may get put away for the winter months but that doesn’t mean it is out of service; quite the opposite. We use the trailer in the hall just as we would during the summer months outside. Another aspect of conducting hall tours is that it gives us another opportunity to promote fire safety. This is the basis of our public interaction. Education and awareness of fire safety issues is a major responsibility for the Russell Fire Department and one that we take very seriously. These days firefighters in Russell are more likely to spend a higher percentage of our time dealing with the public at fire safety events than we do fighting fires and if we continue to be successful with our education and awareness programs we hope this imbalance will continue to grow. Our philosophy is that the best way to protect people from fires is to prevent having them in the first place. So who can arrange a tour of the fire hall and how do you do it? Well the answer to that is very easy, anyone can arrange a tour and all you have to do is give us a call. If you have a family event or are involved with a group of any sort why not arrange an outing to visit us? Hall tours do not have to be for kids only; we can tailor our tour for adults as well. Another great feature about a tour of the fire hall is the cost, it’s absolutely free. The Russell Fire Department does not charge anything for hall tours, the only thing we ask is that we are able to promote fire safety matters and that you promise to apply these matters within your own homes. If you are interested in arranging a hall tour, give us a call at (613) 445-3326. Lastly, the Russell Fire Department and staff would like to thank Keith O’Brien and his family for his six years of service. Keith has decided to hang up his bunker gear for good. Thanks Keith, your time, effort and dedication have been greatly appreciated.
Const. Serge Gauthier Community and Media Relations Officer Russell County OPP The month of January is upon us and along comes the month for Alzheimer’s Disease awareness. As police officers we often see the consequences of this most common form of dementia. Every year the OPP is called to investigate abuse towards our elders who fall victim to Alzheimer’s. Unfortunately some people take advantage of the confusion experienced by these victims. These defenceless elders are intimidated by pressured sales on the phone, by Internet and in person. It is important for family members to stay informed
of the day-to-day business of our aging love ones. It is just as important for them to know never to rush any decisions when it comes to spending or giving money away to any stranger - strangers who claim to be professionals and who claim they have the elder’s well-being a priority. These people take advantage of the victim’s mental state to rob them of what little money they might have. It is all of our responsibility to make sure that our elders dealing with Alzheimer’s are protected from any kind of abuse. These links can assist you when dealing with abuse and fraud issues.

Suicide prevention awareness at STA Josée Deslauriers from the Canadian Mental Health Association joined St. Thomas Aquinas students for a week dedicated to suicide prevention awareness in late 2011. From Nov. 28 to Dec. 2, students handed out pamphlets and sold bracelets during lunch to bring awareness of what can cause the tragedy of suicide among
teens. Deslauriers spoke with all grade 11 students during the awareness week, helping them to identify the warning signs associated with suicide. Students came away knowing that if they recognize the warning signs in a friend or family member, they are empowered to help them. During that same week, Community Officer
Serge Gauthier spoke to all grades 7 and 8 students about the deadly effects of bullying and how to prevent it. To finish the week off students participated in a ‘wear yellow day,’ raising $903 for the Mental Health Association. Many students and staff members have friends, family, or acquaintances who have sadly taken
their own life, and this awareness week brings hope that these sorts of tragedies can be prevented with the right education. St. Thomas Aquinas CHS will host another week of suicide prevention awareness at the end of February, at which time Deslauriers will give presentations for grades 9, 10 and 12 students.

RUSSELL - The Russell Ladies Night on April 30 was not only a great “fundraiser”, but also the kind of “fun raiser” that ladies from around the area have been talking about for the last eight years. Organized by the Russell Ladies Night subcommittee of the Russell Agricultural
Society, the event sold 600 tickets and raised $22,000 from a silent and live auction for the Foundation Fighting Blindness, while Scotiabank’s Russell branch topped up the collection with a $5,000 cheque. The Foundation’s mission is “to find causes, treatments and ultimately cures for retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration and related retinal diseases by supporting research and public awareness.” On the fun side was the western theme. The arena was decorated to the hilt, and most female guests wore western paraphernalia as did a few male volunteers like Don Kettles with the Russell Agricultural Society who met guests riding a large inflatable bronco. Other highlights included a delicious dinner served by A J’s Catering, an action-filled auction by Stewart and Erin James and entertainment by Ambush and the Front End.
members of the Dump The Now (DTDN) Dump Committee press forward with their campaign to have the project stopped dead in its tracks. Recently, in an AMorning Ottawa News television segment, DTDN members and residents were featured, where they were asked about the local feelings toward using the old Russell quarry on North Russell Rd as a commercial waste recycling and landfill site. It was noted by several witnesses, that the interviewer appeared surprised by the strong opposition to the facility. Since then, the media spotlight has shone brighter on this small Eastern Ontario community, much to the delight of the DTDN. Both the CBC and CTV Ottawa news teams were out at the Embrun Community Centre on May 4, to capture, what the DTDN dubbed, “the truths” about the TMES proposal and why they believe the quarry is too fragile to handle such an operation.

If you can read this, you aren’t part of the problem.
Good cop, bad cop
The problem is that part of our society remains mired in illiteracy. The fact is, many adults do have a literacy problem but will not reveal it or may not even recognize that they have one. When one has been coping throughout their life, the mechanisms employed become habit and invisible to those around them. What most take for granted, like reading the morning paper or being able to calculate a receipt or take a phone message, for some is the biggest challenge in their daily life. Literacy is more than being able to read or write; it includes oral communication, computer skills, problem solving and working with others. It is also related to health. Unlimited research shows a distinct link between poor health and low literacy. If an individual is unable to communicate at a certain level, they are less likely to be involved in recreational activities, cannot do research on health related topics or may not be able to read a prescription and understand what they are putting into their body – and why. They cannot make an informed choice. In a way Canadians are lucky. As a whole less than one per cent of adults are not able to read or write at all, but on the flip side, 42 per cent of Canadian adults do not have the literacy skills necessary to fully cope in today’s technological and information-based society, therefore making employment and financial security more difficult. A person’s ability to understand and respond to ever-changing and advancing policies and procedures, for example workplace safety or manuals for new technology, disallow an illiterate person from functioning in a society that has become more complex and where low skill jobs are disappearing. Many adults have developed great coping strategies over the years and are quite adept at hiding their problem. We have many literacy-based services and referral programs in Eastern Ontario, including the Literacy Link Eastern Ontario (LLEO), which provides information and referral services to adults. We also have Employment Ontario, and the Office of Literacy and Essential Skills, part of Human Resources and Development Canada, as well as the local school boards. This only names a few. So why are people still falling through the proverbial crack? Could it be that although there are programs out there, if they can’t read about it, how would they know? An interesting irony on the topic of literacy. So maybe instead of reading about fad diets and treadmill exercises, that we may or may not do, why not make it a new year’s goal to exercise your literacy skills and volunteer as a reading buddy at the local schools or hospital. Join the book club at the library; better yet, start your own. According to Canadian Literacy and Learning Network a significant amount of literacy training in this country is delivered by volunteers. January 27 is Family Literacy Day; take the opportunity to find out what is going on in your community. Maybe you can help pull someone out of the mire. Pamela Pearson

It’s early in the New Year and a good time to remind OPP members patrolling Eastern Ontario that they’re not gung-ho soldiers fighting Taliban terrorists, but peace officers dealing primarily with law-abiding citizens on minor traffic infractions. Sure, every now and then some big heist or drug bust goes down, but mainly, the job is about applying the Highway Traffic Act. So in 2012, remember your manners and common decency, boys and girls in blue… and that you work for us, the taxpayers. I understand the job can be dangerous, I understand that you never know who’s behind the wheel and that you have to proceed with caution. But once you do know who you’re dealing with, which takes about two minutes, just ease up a little bit why don’t you! My dealings with the OPP, some of which I’ve recounted in this space, have been both good and bad in recent years. I have to admit that my demeanour when pulled over is not always the most jovial because I have a natural aversion to being tagged for some meaningless little breach or other. As one of my New Year’s resolutions, I’m working on being more pleasant and accommodating when a cop shows up at my car window. Some of my ticketed transgressions include driv-
ing a few kms above the speed limit on an open highway on a slow weekday afternoon; not having my documentation in the car which I was returning home to retrieve; and committing the infamous “rolling stop” which has got to be the most irritating, cash-grabbing infraction in the book. In most of those cases, the officers were civil but not friendly. They weren’t about to cut me a break, that’s for sure. Oh!… to be fair, in one rolling stop episode, the officer let me go on that charge and hit me with a no-documents ticket instead. He saw that as a break; I didn’t. We had words. What happened to the good old-fashioned friendly warning? It seems to be a thing of the past since the OPP have become employed directly by counties and townships such as Russell and have been forced to help justify their wildly expensive contracts by raking in the ticket revenues. But I did get one warning in 2011 which made me feel warm all over. I was heading along Highway 416 chatting merrily – and illegally – on my cell phone when a cruiser came alongside. I flipped it down really quick but I was waved over. When the officer asked if I’d been on the phone, I swallowed the urge to deny, deny, deny and admitted I
had briefly answered a call. “I’m going to let you go because you told the truth,” he announced. “Most people lie about it.” But these incidents aren’t why I raise the topic of police consideration and politeness at this point in time. I do so because of an incident I heard about which occurred in Prescott – the town on the St. Lawrence Seaway, not the county east of us – over the holiday period. It was one of the coldest days of the winter. An acquaintance was driving within the speed limit, wearing his seat belt and behind the wheel of a fairly new car with a perfect safety rating. He couldn’t understand why he was chased down by the OPP and forced to pull into a parking lot. As it turned out, the computerized cop had identified that this driver’s license had expired. The driver explained to the young, unconcerned officer that it was an oversight, which he would immediately attend to. He tried politely to inform the policeman that, in his 40-odd years of driving, he had not so much as been handed a parking ticket. Blank and uncompassionate, the cop proceeded to walk back to his cruiser with license in hand. The driver got out of his car and asked for his license back to renew it. He was told he
couldn’t have it back, that he would have to park and find some other way back home - some 40 kms awayand to count his blessings his car wasn’t being impounded. The driver hadn’t dressed for a chilly wait in a parking lot. The cop wrote him a $325 ticket, and spun out of the lot with no concern for this citizen-in-good-standing’s wellbeing. was another There approach, especially during the season of goodwill towards men, especially in frostbite weather, and especially with someone whose record indicated he deserved favourable consideration. This was just mismanaged paperwork! No crime was committed, boys and girls! A fine? If you insist, but we all know that $325 is highway robbery, just another case of racking up those revenues. Why not have issued a warning and allowed this driver to get back into his car with the requirement he return to the Prescott OPP detachment within a few days to show his new license? That’s the way it used to be done.
Green Year In Review (Continued from last week)
The EAC initiated recycling for all community groups in order to receive community grants. The Russell Fair launched a recycling program this year and all community events are encouraged to do the same. Community organizations such as the Russell Curling Club and Legion host many community events where recycling needs to be implemented. Yahoo Park in Embrun is listed as proposed site for the Embrun Fire Department. Residents are opposed and park users are concerned for trees.
Nature trail from Eadie Rd. to Concession is clear cut by Hydro One. The rest of the vegetation is sprayed with the pesticide Garlon. This product should not be used where people or animals are present. This was a huge concern for the environmental committee. MOE comes to Russell to visit site and states that this product should never be used near parks, playgrounds, or where inhabitants live. Terry Fox Run is held next day on trail for schools. It looked a little bleak in 2011 and
omissions in connection with any advertisement is strictly limited to publication of the advertisement in any subsequent issue or the refund of any monies paid for the advertisement.
hopefully 2012 will make some greater strides and we can all do our part, no matter how little, because little adds up to bigger and better things. 2011 also saw a dry hot summer so if you would like to get a rain barrel to help conserve water, go to www.RainBarrel.ca and order yours for only $60 and you will also help to build a reading garden for local children at the new Russell library. Remember to recycle your Christmas tree. Happy New Year!

Living Locally Jan. 21 Special to The Villager Russell residents are leading the way in the Ottawa area to show how we can “think globally and act locally” to fight both climate change and economic hard-times. On Sat., Jan. 21 they will be holding the annual Living fourth Locally Fair, bringing together more than 80 local producers, farmers, community groups and expert speakers. The fair will emphasize buying local food in season, supporting community groups and how to reduce your footprint by reducing energy use. This event, sponsored by the Russell and District Horticultural Society in partnership with St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic High School, and Russell Township of Russell, provides a great opportunity to find out what a range of excellent food and goods can be obtained locally and is a way to get out and enjoy a fun and educational day out in the country, according to spokesperson Lindley McPhail. Visitors will be able to speak with local groups, as well as local producers and consumers who care about reducing energy consumption and supporting the local rural economy. Their products will be there to sample and buy. “Come and listen to talks on global climate change; holistic nutrition; environmental products for the home and hody; learn about solar energy production, the benefits of trees and talk to the Citizens Environmental Stewardship Association, East of Ottawa, and learn about weather forecasting, McPhail says. Visitors will also be able to learn from demonstrations on using freshly ground flours, cooking with seasonal vegetables and preparing healthy lunchbox meals and snacks; buying and enjoying homemade seasonal soups, stews and chilis, locally roasted fair trade coffee, cocoa and tea (served with milk and cream from our local dairy), as well as local homemade treats for desserts, McPhail reports. There is no admission charge but donations to the food bank will be gratefully accepted. For more information visit www.russellgardeners.cawww.livinglocallyfair.ca

Lions Seafood Saturday Night RUSSELL - Those who attended the 25th Annual Russell Lions Club’s
RUSSELL - St. Aquinas student Rebecca Ryan went through with the promise that she made when she was only four years old after her grandmother died of breast cancer - that she would do what she could to help raise awareness and money to find a cure for the disease. That promise culminated in the lopping off close to 15 inches of her long, blond locks, that she had been growing since she was a child. The special haircut was done in front of students, staff, family and friends at STA back on June 16. Along with the haircut, Rebecca handed over $4,600 to Jean Ouellette of the Canadian Cancer Society who was an invited guest along with CTV’s Max Keeping, himself a survivor of prostate cancer. The money was raised through donations from family and friends as well as from customers that shopped at Pierre et Fils convenience store where Rebecca works part-time in Embrun. Even younger cousin Kendra Lepack did some of her own fundraising at her school, Mother Teresa’s CES, to help out the cause. Kendra added $250 to the total.

Panthers lose back-to-back games for first time this season Darren Matte Villager Sports EMBRUN— The holiday season can be tough for junior teams with players going away from their club. The Embrun Panthers experienced this at full force this past weekend as they suffered back-to-back losses for the first time this season while missing their top line of Jeff Campbell, Francis Legault and Charles-Antoine Labonté. The Panthers were home to Cumberland on Jan. 6, before travelling to Chesterville to take on North Dundas on Jan. 8. Embrun 2 Cumberland 3 The Bandits took advantage of a Panthers penalty in the first period when Brandon Sullivan scored and they led 1-0. It stayed that way until the second period. Again, Cumberland was on a power play, this time a five on three advantage. Kevin Joyce’s initial shot was stopped but he picked up his own rebound and made it 2-0. The Panthers then had a chance on a power play of their own. They got traffic in front of the Cumberland net and Matt Eberley’s point shot found twine cutting the lead to 2-1. Embrun continued to pressure and forced a neutral zone turnover. Dexter MacMillan and Jeremy Robert took off on a two on one. MacMillan feathered a pass to Robert who chipped it to the back of the net, 2-2. Embrun was on full attack to start the third peppering the Cumberland net. They
came close but could not take the lead. Midway through the frame, Alex Girard’s point shot was tipped by Ryan Renaud and floated up and over Panthers’ goalie Eric Drouin. Again the Panthers came back, with five minutes to go, and on a man advantage, Eric Garrioch received a pass in the slot and ripped it home to tie the game at three. With less than two minutes to go, the Panthers got called for a weak boarding call. With time running out, the Bandits were pressuring in the Panthers zone. With 3.6 seconds remaining, Kurtis Plouffe-Craney threw the puck in front of the Panthers net, the puck hit a defender and sneaked past Drouin giving the Bandits the 4-3 win. Panthers coach Jay Campbell was disappointed but not upset with his team. “I am disappointed for they kids, they played hard all night and battled back twice. I think that if we had killed off that penalty and got to over time we would have had them.” Matt Nooyen, the Panthers associate coach said the team used this game as an opportunity to see different players in a variety of situations. “ We had lots of guys in different roles. They raised their game and that’s all we can ask.” Embrun 6 North Dundas 7 Two days later, Jan. 8, the Panthers were in Chesterville to take on the Rockets. Embrun struck first as Andrew Hampton scored, but
the Rockets came back with three goals to round out the period. Matt Houle, who was making his home debut for the Rockets, scored a minute after Hampton to tie the game at one. With just over five minutes to go in the frame, Tyler Jones gave the Rockets the lead. Then Houle picked up his second of the contest and the Rockets led 3-1 after one. Hampton scored midway through the second to cut the lead down to 3-2. But Peter Klein-Swormink answered and gave the Rockets the two-goal lead for the second time. Robert brought the Panthers back to within one, but they still trailed 4-3 heading to the third. The Panthers looked like they were going to take this one as they first tied the game on Hampton’s hat trick goal three minutes into the third. Then in a span of a minute, at the midway mark of the period, they scored two goals, first by MacMillan and then by Robert and they led 6-4. The Rockets resilient squad battled back though, with three straight goals of their own. John Cleary, Sebastian Saikley and R.J. Wallace each beat Panthers goalie Phil Eberley and the Rockets pulled out the upset win, 7-6. The losses make things tighter atop the NCJHL standings. The Panthers still have a four-point cushion over the Bandits but the Bandits now have two games in hand. The Panthers have one game this weekend; they are in La Peche on Jan 15.
Jets rout Thunder in Metcalfe METCALFE— The Metcalfe Jets started 2012 with a bang as they scored a lopsided win over the Almonte Thunder who came to town for an afternoon tilt on Jan. 8. The Jets came into the game in fourth in the Metro Division (12-14-4-1), while the Thunder were third in the Valley (11-143-1. The Jets wasted little time in getting on the board as 1:40 into the game, Matt Miller scored to make it 1-0. The Jets continued to roll, a minute and a half later, Kale Gulliver found the back of the net to make it 2-0. Gulliver was at it again with just under 10 to go, picking up his second of the game. Miller then found his second as the
Jets went to the break after a dominant period with the 4-0 lead. The offensive pressure continued in the second for the Jets. Matt Shaheen picked up another tally and the Jets now led 5-0. The Jets power play then went to work and it was a familiar number that got on the score sheet as Miller notched his hat trick goal. The Thunder finally stopped the bleeding with 6:11 to go in the second when Andrew Rowbotham scored while on the power play to cut the deficit to 61. The Jets put things out of reach in the third with another two goals. With 6:03 to go, Gulliver scored to complete his hat trick and then 30 seconds later, Dawson Fisher added
another as the Jets went on to win 8-1. The Jets manhandled the Thunder in the shots department outshooting Almonte 52-13. Ryan McLaughlin wasn’t tested often but picked up the win in goal for the Jets. Even with the win, the Jets still have a ways to go to catch third-place Clarence who are still eight points ahead of them. The win does give them some breathing room, as they are now seven up on the Ottawa Canadians. The Jets will get a crack at Clarence when they host them on Jan. 13. The Jets then welcome the divisionleading Gatineau Mustangs in what could be a preview of a potential first round playoff match on Jan. 15.

RMHA concludes fall Breakfast Club RUSSELL—Big smiles and a big breakfast finished off the third annual fall session of the Russell Minor Hockey Association Breakfast Club on Dec. 21. Under the leadership of Shannon Donovan, ODHA Coach Facilitator, the Breakfast Club is open to 3540 RMHA players within the Novice to Peewee divisions. For $35.00 a session and six early Wednesday mornings, these players are divided into groups and put through various on-ice drills which allows these players the opportunity to develop their skills and to be exposed to different coaches in the RMHA. It also gives RMHA Midget and Bantam players the opportunity to earn some volunteer hours by helping out on the ice as our beloved
“Pylons”. Once the players are done on the ice, they take part in the continental breakfast that has been laid out for them. Cereal, milk, croissants, fruit, juice and chocolate chip banana bread top the food list choices. The players all eat breakfast together prior to heading off to school. On the last Wednesday of the session the players and coaches are treated to a full hot breakfast prepared and served by wonderful parent volunteers. This is a nice way to finish up the session and gives the players a chance to thank their coaches and Pylons for all of their help. Along with the RMHA, Steve and Nancy Gamble of Russell Pro Hockey Shop, have been big supporters of the Breakfast Club. This ses-
sion they graciously donated winter toques for all of the players and Pylons with the Breakfast Club embroidered across the front. This program would not be as well ran nor enjoyed as whole heartily as it is without its volunteers. A big thank you goes out to the coaching staff of Shannon Donovan, Ian Sturgeon, Darren Pascoe, Liam Daly, Matthew Friend, Marc Levesque, Peggy Carkner and Kim Lapierre, the student on-ice Plyon volunteers: Grant Lapierre, Matthew Moore, Rory Friend, Mac Stewart, Rhys Thomas, the kitchen student: Emily Hickey and to Rose Everett who had the most important job of all getting the coffee from Tim Horton’s for the coaches.
Juvi Warriors have rocky start to 2012 RUSSELL— The Russell IDA Warriors juvenile team opened the New Year at home against the Cumberland 2 team on Jan. 3 with a 5-1 loss for the home team. Darcy Drevniok’s short-handed goal put the Warriors on the board at 2:43 of the first period with Alex Hohsdorf picking up the assist. The lead was short lived as Cumberland tied it up just over a minute later. The visitors scored three more times in the second period and once in the third to take the win. Scott Quinn faced a total of 37 shots in the Warriors’ net while his oppo-
nent faced 14. A week later, Jan. 8, the Warriors traveled to the Sandy Hill arena to face the East Ottawa team which had defeated them 8-2 in an October match-up. Ottawa wasted little time getting on the score sheet scoring just 15 seconds into the game. Less than two minutes later, the home team scored again. Trailing 2-0 to start the second period, Jeff Macdonald put his team on the board at 9:15 with a shot over the goalie’s glove from close range. Isaac Avery was given the assist on the play. Ottawa came back quickly at 8:47 to
restore their two-goal advantage. In the third, Sandy Hill scored in the first minute of play but the undermanned Warriors responded when Brett Norton forced a turn over at the center ice boards and broke in down the left wing and slid the puck into the net on the goalie’s stick side. The Warriors, with only nine skaters, were out-shot 26-6 in the game and fell 4-2. Chris Marsola who was making his first start in goal since Dec. 11, turned in a solid performance and kept his team in the game with some big saves at the right time.

Curling Continued from front Courneyea wanted to mention that “All the volunteers did a super job in making this event such a great success”. The curling began on Jan. 4 at 11 a.m. Each day following, until Sunday, had two 10end draws each for both the men and women, completing the round robin play. On the evening of Jan. 5, the teams and the community were treated to a wonderful dinner of roast pork and all the trimmings. Jennifer Harvey, an organizer of the event, stated that, “One hundred and eighteen dinners were served. Lorraine Robinson and her team prepared a fantastic home cooked meal” and thanked the community for coming out. Friday evening a banquet was held for the
curlers, with entertainment provided by the band The Front End, made up of four RCC members. Saturday the Women’s Semi Final was held and Sunday, the Men’s Semi Final and all final games were played, due to the fact that three of the women’s teams tied with five wins and two losses - Romaine (Guelph), Horton (Almonte) and Sinclair (Manotick). Sunday play started at 10 a.m. with Sinclair, who had the hammer, and Romaine. It was a battle the whole game but Sinclair came out in the 10th beating Romaine 8-2. The second final at 4 p.m. saw Team Sinclair closing the house in the eighth, winning 9-3. It was a long day of curling for the men. Sunday saw the first tiebreaker between Teams Lyon-Hatcher (Huntley) and Brandon (Chinguacousy). Lyon-
Hatcher had the hammer but the draw ended in the eighth with Brandon winning 8-5. Brandon then played Team Krell (St.Thomas) in the second tiebreaker and Krell won his way to the final winning 75 with the hammer. The finals started at 5 p.m. with Krell playing Team Lewis (Napanee), but ended the ninth with a 7-5 win. At 8 p.m. Dekoing (Omemee) played Krell in a back and forth battle of 1 and 2 scores, ending the Men’s Finals with a 7-4 win. After a late game and closing, the men were heading home with family and coaches. When The Villager spoke to Skip Brett Dekoing, he said he is “thankful for the all hard work the team has done” and looks forward to hanging the first ever Men’s Junior Provincial Curling Championship Banner in the Omemee Club.

Dickie Dunn Special to the Villager With Christmas and New Years falling on weekends this year, the Russell Lions Club Atom B1 Warriors played their first game in three weeks on Jan. 7. The Warriors were looking to avenge a road loss in their last game to Cumberland 2. Russell broke open the scoring in the first period when Norah “Wheels” Tuck blew between the Cumberland defence at her own blue-line, raced down the ice and fired it past the goaltender. The score sheet didn’t indicate that Tuck was set up on the
play by Allison Lapierre, but Lapierre made a great feed to Tuck to set her up. Cumberland would get that one back very early in the second period on a nice individual effort. The Warriors got caught watching their opponent’s moves instead of going after the puck. The teams went into the third period tied at one goal apiece, but shortly into the final frame Cumberland would take the lead on a play that had the Warriors scrambling around in their defensive zone. Throughout the period the Warriors had some great chances to even things
up, but found themselves still trailing by a goal with under a minute to play. As play moved into the Cumberland zone, the Warriors pulled their goaltender for an extra attacker. Before that extra player could make it into the play, Samuel Levesque grabbed the loose puck and ripped it into the net to tie the game. The Warriors played a great game considering the long layoff and their fans went home having watched some great end-to-end action. Warrior of the game was earned by Kevin Coren for his strong play on defence.

Vikes lose to Hawks; win at Showcase against Athens Darren Matte Villager Sports WINCHESTERâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Casselman Vikings got very familiar with the Winchester Community Centre as they had a pair of games there this weekend. The Vikings began with an evening tilt against the Hawks on Jan. 6, before taking part in the Rideau-St. Lawrence showcase the next day with a game against Athens. The Vikings were one of ten teams that took part in the five back-to-back games beginning at 9:30 a.m. and ending with the final puck drop at 7:30 p.m. Casselman 4 Winchester 6 Before the Vikings could turn their attention to the Showcase they had a key match up against their division rivals, the Winchester Hawks. The Vikings were looking to take over the division lead with a win. So far this season, the Hawks had won three of the four meetings with the Vikings, but the Vikings did win the last match up on Nov. 24. Ramsey Wheeler got the Hawks on the board, while on the power play three minutes into the first. Evan Walker added another later
in the period and the Hawks led 2-0 after one. Casselman got back into the game in the second with two goals in a span of a minute and a half. Adam Wensink scored on the power play to make it 2-1, then Sebastien Goulet tied the game at two. Winchester responded as Nevin Guy scored to give them the 3-2 lead. But before the frame was out, Derek Widenmaier tied it at three, which is where it stood as the teams went to the third. The Hawks power play struck again to begin the third, as Guy potted his second of the game. Casselman came back with a tally from Luc Forget, but with just over five to go, Graham Loyst scored to give the Hawks the 5-4 advantage. Brodie Boulanger added an empty netter and the Hawks won 6-4. Alex Monk stopped 28 shots for the win, while Phillippe Quesnelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 43 saves were not enough and he took the loss. Casselman 6 Athens 3 It was a short night for the Vikings, as they had to head back to Winchester early the next morning for their noon puck drop with the Athens
Aeros at the Showcase. Athens caught the Vikings asleep early as J.P. Augustineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shot hit the post and went in, two minutes in to give them the 1-0 lead. The Vikings came back, and midway through the period they tied it up as Adam Wensink put a perfectly placed shot over the glove of the Aeros goalie, while they were on the man advantage. Later in the period, Curtis Chennette intercepted a pass in the neutral zone and turned it the other way with Wensink for a two-on-one. Chennette feathered a nice pass to Wensink who sent the biscuit to the back of the net, 2-1 Vikes. With time running out in the period, and the Vikings back on the power play, Casselman won a battle behind the Athens net. The centering pass came to Marcel Groulx and he scored to make it 3-1 Vikings after one. The pace slowed in the second, but the Vikings offense didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Four and a half minutes in Wensink netted his third of the game to make it 4-1. Then, with under five to play, Chennette got one to send the Vikes to the second intermission up 51.

Casselman won 6-3. The win helped the Vikings stay two-points behind the Hawks, who also won their Showcase game 5-2 over Gananoque. The Showcase finished with the St. Lawrence Division taking three out of the five games. Akwesasne was the other winner with a 5-3 win over Brockville. Morrisburg fell to South Grenville and Alexandria to Westport. Vikings assistant coach
Dominic MĂŠnard talked about the win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a good game even though we were short staffed. There were some tired legs out there because of playing the night before but the effort was still there. It was good to see especially after the very intense game the night before.â&#x20AC;? The Vikings have three games this weekend, they host Char-Lan on Jan. 12, are in Morrisburg on Jan. 13 and in Brockville on Jan. 15.
