Sports – The former captain of the national sledge hockey team helped start a year-long celebration of support and services for Renfrew County individuals with developmental disabilities. Todd Nicholson of West Carleton, Canada’s flag bearer at the 2006 Paralympic Games, joined town firefighters, community living clients, and others at the Ma-TeWay rink last Sunday afternoon for a friendly sledge hockey game.
Organizer Jennifer Creeden said the game gave participants and those in the crowd a chance to see sledge hockey up close. It also served as the first of many events this year celebrating Community Living Renfrew County South’s 50th anniversary. “It’s partly to celebrate our 50 years, but it’s also for community members to come and try it and see how it works,� said Creeden, executive director. In the lobby a display board showed snapshots from the organization’s historic moments, along
with T-shirts for sale, a raffle for two chances to will a $2,500 travel voucher to New York, donation box, 50/50 sale and more. Just over $500 was raised on Jan. 19. The raffle draw takes place May 23 during a gala night of celebration. Tickets are available at the Renfrew office, 326 Raglan St., and at www. clrcs.com, until that night. Everyone is welcome to the dance at the Renfrew Armouries with live music by Ambush along with a silent auction and an open house showcasing all programs and services.
Renfrew-NipissingPembroke MPP John Yakabuski dropped the ceremonial puck and sang the national anthem before the game started. He said it was a great opportunity for those that have never played before, and a fine beginning to the celebrations. “This is a great kickoff of the 50th year. I hope people enjoy the effort put out from playing it and that the firefighters participating can gain an appreciation,� Yakabuski said. “I’m also honoured to be asked to sing O Canada today.�
Team Michaud from Huntley captures junior regions Sports - Team Michaud won the A-side at Junior Regions (Region 1) in Kingston. The team, who also plays in the Tubman draw at Huntley on Monday evenings, advanced to Junior Provincials Jan. 2 to 6 in Gananoque. Congratulations to the team of Peter Stranberg, Decebal Michaud, Matt Allan, Pascal Michaud and Coach Bert Michaud. The A-side final was a nail-biter against Team Camm featuring two of last year’s junior provincial champions. After Team Michaud stole one in the eighth end to tie the 10-end game at 4-4, Team Camm blanked the ninth to retain hammer in the tenth end. Then it all came down to the tenth end on ice that was starting to break down adding an uncomfortable element of uncertainty to the game. Without last rock, Team Michaud had
shot rock in the back four foot behind several guards. After several double peel attempts to open it up, it was time for Jason Camm to draw into the top button on his first rock. On a very tricky path that had seen many picks throughout the game, Jason Camm made a great come around to be shot rock but it was a bit deep on the back button leaving an opening for Pascal’s last shot. Team Michaud then came around while just avoiding a rock in the top eight foot and tapped shot rock back a foot to then sit shot just in front of the button by a few inches with Team Camm’s second shot rock as backing. Team Camm had a tough peel PHOTO COURTESY OF HUNTLEY CURLING ASSOCIATION weight pick as the only shot they could play and their last rock failed to curl enough to Team Michaud, who includes Peter Stranberg, Decebal Michaud, Matt Allan, Pascal Michaud and coach Bert Michaud were due to play in the junior provincial finals earlier this month. make contact.
