Sports - For the first time ever, a West Carleton Soccer Club team has participated in the World Masters tournament. The Stray Cats, a group of active ladies competing in the over-40 years division, left for Turin, Italy on July 31. The World Masters Games is an international multi-sport event held every four years. In terms of competitor numbers, the event has developed into the largest of its kind. “We would like to thank the community for over the last year supporting the WCSC kids soccer tournament canteen, a garage sale at Cheshire Cat, and various small fundraisers in the community,” said player Karen Delcourt. “And we really appreciate our local sponsor support.” See WCSC Page 14

The festival f features not only the stinking rose but a huge selection of dips, preserves, and assorted ways of using and preserving garlic. John Moore, Chair of the Carp Farmers’ Garlic Committee and a local garlic

This year the prize for best booth will be presented by Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson.
