The Rhodes scholarship at the University of Oxford in England is the oldest and perhaps most prestigious international schol-arship program in the world. A Rhodes scholarship is often viewed as an investment in an individual of remarkable prom-ise rather than support for a par-ticular program of postgraduate study. One of these individuals who has been awarded a Rhodes scholarship and will be attend-ing Oxford this fall to begin two years of study there hails from Stittsville.
He is 21 year old Brendan Al-exander who will be graduat-ing this year at the Royal Mili-tary College (RMC) in Kingston where he has studied history and economics.
“Growing up in Stittsville has defi nitely had an impact on who I am today,” Brendan wrote in an email response.

Florals and more in exhibit of Bernice Wills’ artJOHN CURRY
Stittsville artist Bernice Wills loves to paint fl orals but for her exhibition on the ArtSpace wall at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library this month, she included eight paintings which show some of the variety of subjects which she paints. There are, of course, three fl oral paintings among those on display but there are others such as two still life paintings, two landscapes and one enti-tled “A Little Girl’s Dream,” featuring a pair of dancing shoes.
All eight paintings are framed and range in price from $175 to $275.
But, of course, these paintings are on exhibit at the library not so much for pur-chase (although artists do appreciate any sales) but for enjoyment.
And there is enjoyment to be found. Just read the comment about Bernice’s paintings which Judie Marsden of Stitts-ville wrote in the comment book at the exhibit: “Your watercolours are always beautifully uplifting.”
Indeed, those who do visit the exhibit or just fi nd themselves walking past it while browsing through the stacks at the library should make a point to leave a re-mark or impression in the comment book at the exhibit. Even the briefest of com-ments can make the day for an artist and it’s a nice way to tell them that their artis-tic efforts are appreciated and enjoyed.
Bernice Wills of Stittsville began painting with oils in the 1960’s but her art efforts were curtailed for some time
as she travelled with her husband on his military postings. This, though, did ex-pose her to many landscapes around the world, benefi tting her future art work.
Bernice started to paint again in 1985 but switched from oils to watercolours, as she explains: “The medium is very chal-lenging, but I fi nd it more suitable to my approach where I look for light and co-lour in my subject, be it landscape, fl oral or still life.”
“The landscapes are inspired from travelling and the many pictures taken,” she adds.
She is a regular participant in the an-nual Stittsville Artists Studio Tour which she enjoys since people come to her home studio to see her art and also to talk about art.
Bernice’s art received the “Gallery Choice” award at the Kanata Art Club’s juried show in 1998 and she has received several honours from various Nepean Fine Art League shows from 2001 through 2009.
Her paintings can be found in private collections not only in Canada but in Eng-land, Australia, South Africa and Japan. Recently three of her paintings were on display at the Hamilton Art Gallery.
The exhibition of Bernice Wills’ art on the ArtSpace wall in the back right corner of the Stittsville branch of the Ot-tawa Public Library will continue on dis-play until the end of January.
It is accompanied by an exhibit of hand crafted boxes by Geoff Randall of Stitts-ville which can be found in the display case located at the ArtSpace wall.

Audrey Bobier loved her family, church and communityJOHN CURRY
Audrey Bobier, a Goul-bourn native who trea-sured her family, her church and her commu-nity, passed away on Tues-day, Jan. 4, 2011. She was 78.
She had deep Goul-bourn roots on both sides of her family.
Daughter of the late Herman and Lillian Cas-sidy, she was one of a Goulbourn family of four with her brothers Harold, Ebert and Lorne, all of whom have predeceased her.
Her brother Lorne be-
came a respected educator and in 1991, the then-Car-leton Board of Education named an elementary school being constructed on Hobin Street in Stitts-ville as A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School. He had served as president
of the Ontario Council for Exceptional Children and was an honourary life member of the On-tario Association for Cur-riculum Development. He was a superintendent of schools for the Carleton Board.
But this Stittsville school is not the only area building to which Audrey had close ties.
The Bobier family’s relationship to Christ Church Ashton goes back to its very beginnings as John Bobier was the stonemason for the origi-nal church building which was constructed in 1845.
One of the memorial
items in the church to-day comes from the Bo-bier family and there is a pew bearing the Bobier name. Audrey was a faith-ful parishioner of Christ Church Ashton which is where her funeral service was held on Friday, Jan. 7, with a standing-room only crowd of mourners fi lling the church. Rev. Jim Kirk-patrick, rector of Christ Church Ashton, gave the homily while hymns sang during the service in-cluded “In the Garden,” “Amazing Grace,” and “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.”
Audrey was passionate about Goulbourn’s heri-
tage. For many years, she sat on the Board of Di-rectors and then the Mu-seum Committee for the Goulbourn Museum. She was a longtime member of the Goulbourn Town-ship Historical Society and was an invaluable source of information on local families, schools and the general history of the community.
She was instrumental in the leadership of the Jock River Seniors group when it was meeting regu-larly in Ashton for cards and fellowship.
In all of her endeavours and involvements, Audrey always demonstrated a
great sense of humour.She was predeceased
by her husband, the late J. Sydney Bobier as well as by a son Robert who died tragically almost two years ago. She is survived by her sons David and Harold and fi ve grandchil-dren as well as by many nieces and nephews. She will be fondly remembered by many neighbours and friends.
Interment will take place in the Christ Church Ashton parish cemetery in the spring.
In memoriam donations to Christ Church Ashton would be appreciated by the family.Audrey Bobier

While he attended Ashbury College in Ottawa from grades 4 through 12, he remained very involved in a wide range of sports, camps and other Stittsville-based activities during his childhood.
“It was a great community in which to grow up and it is the only place I would truly call home,” he added in his email.
Brendan will be leaving for the Uni-versity of Oxford in late September, with his fi rst term there beginning in early October. He will be studying at Oxford for two years, completing a Master of Philosophy in International Relations. And while he will be study-ing international relations, his thesis will likely focus on guerrilla warfare and counterinsurgency which are the areas where his academic interests to date have been. More specifi cally, he will probably be studying the relations between states which are involved in such guerrilla wars and the local gov-ernments with which they collaborate to defeat such an insurgency.
At Oxford, his educational experi-ence will include both taught and in-dividual research elements. His fi rst year starting this fall will consist largely of classes, lectures, seminars and one-on-one tutoring with an aca-demic advisor. His second year will largely be taken up with writing his thesis.
This spring Brendan will be com-missioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Royal Canadian Artillery and he will retain this rank while studying at Oxford, including continuing to re-ceive his salary. However, his Oxford studying will add two more years of mandatory service that he will owe the Canadian Forces, adding to the fi ve that he will already owe upon gradu-ation at RMC. When he is fi nished at Oxford, he will resume his career as an artillery offi cer in the Canadian Forces. Right now he does not know if he will make the Canadian Forces a lifelong career but he does admit that he has enjoyed his military involve-ment to date. One future possibility might be teaching, perhaps returning to RMC as a professor.
He feels that his military training and study regimen at RMC helped him meet the Rhodes scholarship criteria. Indeed, RMC, whose motto is “Truth, Duty, Valour,” is designed to produce offi cers with the exact qualities sought in Rhodes scholarship candidates.
Brendan feels that his RMC expe-
rience set him apartment from other Rhodes scholarship candidates. While he had the academic credentials, he also had, through his military com-mitment, shown his willingness to “fi ght the world’s fi ght,” which was a rallying call for public service used by Rhodes scholarship founder Cecil Rhodes in setting up the scholarship program.
The thought of applying for a Rhodes scholarship was fi rst planted in his mind way back at the end of his fi rst year at RMC by his mother who made the suggestion after Brendan had done well in both his military and academic pursuits that year. He did not take his mother’s suggestion seri-ously at fi rst but the seed that had been planted took root in his fourth year at RMC when he heard a presentation on the Rhodes scholarship program, spe-cifi cally about how well-rounded RMC cadets were ideal candidates for the scholarship.
By this point, Brendan had been active at RMC not only in academics but in sports, music, art and volunteer work, so he thought that he might as well, as he puts it, “give it a shot” and that’s what he did, with the outcome being that he was one of the 11 Cana-dians selected to be a Rhodes scholar starting in 2011.
Besides being a fourth year Offi cer Cadet at RMC, he has held a variety of leadership positions there as well as serving as a Troop Commander in the Royal Canadian Artillery.
The day-to-day activities at RMC are run entirely by cadet leadership in or-der to develop leaders. In his last se-mester, Brendan was selected as a Ca-det Squadron Leader, placing him in command of about 80 cadets. As such, he was responsible for their training, physical fi tness, discipline, dress, de-portment, passing of orders and coor-dination with other RMC squadrons.
“The exceptional leadership train-ing we receive at RMC and during our summer military training is what sets RMC apart from other civilian univer-sities,” Brendan comments. Last sum-mer, Brendan completed his Phase 3 Troop Commander qualifi cation at Valcartier in Quebec. This past fall, he was awarded the Nicola Goddard artillery sword.
But his time at RMC has been more than just studies and leadership train-ing. He has been playing music in one capacity or another since being in grade three. He has his Grade 10 ac-creditation from the Royal Conserva-
tory of Music in piano and he played clarinet and baritone saxophone in the jazz and concert bands at Ashbury College. At RMC, he has played piano in the RMC stage band while also play-ing acoustic guitar on his own time. He is also very involved in art, specifi -cally working in pastel and pen and ink as well as photography.
Indeed, Brendan hopes to continue his involvement with both music and art while at Oxford, likely through informal student clubs, associations, choral groups and orchestras.
Brendan also is active physically, in-cluding running, weightlifting, soccer, hockey and coaching the RMC Combat Fitness Club.
Brendan’s selection for a Rhodes scholarship has resulted in expres-sions of praise from those at RMC.
“This recognition not only speaks to the incredible talents of Offi cer Cadet Alexander, but also to the tremendous success of the RMC program,” said Commodore William Truelove, Com-mandant of RMC.
“We are extremely proud of Mr. Al-exander and feel that his selection re-fl ects well not only upon him person-ally but also on the entire RMC cadet community,” said RMC principal Joel Sokolsky.
“He is a role model on our campus of an individual who is exceptionally well rounded and accomplished,” said associate professor Laura Robinson of the Department of English at RMC.
“As a dynamic leader, a promising scholar, an amazing athlete, a com-passionate and generous volunteer, a talented musician and a well rounded, creative and imaginative individual (not to mention a cool guy), Brendan is well deserving of this prestigious scholarship,” RMC English professor Michael Hurley wrote.
Up until now, there have been 12 Rhodes scholars who attended RMC as cadets, going back to 1946.
Only 11 Canadians a year are select-ed to join the 84 Rhodes scholars from around the world who attend the Uni-versity of Oxford. Intellectual excel-lence is required of Rhodes scholars but selection involves more than just educational accomplishments.
Cecil Rhodes, founder of the Rhodes scholarship program in 1902, empha-sized in his will that these scholar-ships were to be an investment in and development of outstanding leaders who would be motivated to “fi ght the world’s fi ght.”

JOHN CURRY
The Rat Pack, made famous by Sam-my Davis, Jr., Frank Sinatra and Dean martin, is making a comeback. Well, not the real Rat Pack in person but a group that is going to perform in their style.
It’s all thanks to Suzart Produc-tions, the Ottawa musical theatre company, that has included “The Rat Pack Lounge” musical among its 2011 offerings.
And Ellen Seguin of Stittsville, who directed Suzart Productions’ most re-cent show “Willy Wonka,” will be the director for “The Rat Pack Lounge.”
This will be Suzart Productions’ dinner theatre show for 2011 and will run in August at the Woodroffe United Church in Ottawa.
The story of “The Rat Pack Lounge” is about a diner in trouble. God sends the Rat Pack back down to earth for one more show to help out the din-er. The show includes 29 of the Rat Pack’s most memorable songs which are intertwined in the story. Among the characters in the story are Bobby Goldberg/Sammy Davis Jr., a bar-tender at the diner whose body gets taken over by Sammy Davis Jr. He sings, dances and acts as well as does impressions of famous stars; William Saunders/Frank Sinatra, a man who gets his body taken over by Frank Sinatra; and Jeorge Rodrigues/Dean
Martin, a chauffeur whose body is taken over by Dean Martin so that he must be able to sing, act and perform like a drunken Dean Martin.
There are also other characters such as an Angie Dickinson femme fa-tale and a depressed diner owner who is being helped by the heaven-sent Rat Pack.
In any case, Suzart Productions is now on the lookout for actors to play these roles in “The Rat Pack Lounge.”
Auditions for “The Rat Pack Lounge” are taking place this Sun-day, Jan. 16 starting at 2:30 p.m. at the Woodroffe United Church.
Those interested in auditioning should call 613-828-3500 to make an ap-pointment or should send an email to [email protected].
The same afternoon, Sunday, Jan. 16, but at 1:30 p.m. will be auditions held for another Suzart Productions musical, “hats!” which will be pre-sented in June at Ashbury College.
“Hats!” is a new musical about a woman who is about to turn 50 until she meets several other women who her about fun and friendship.
There are numerous fun-loving characters in this show and Suzart Productions is looking for women over the age of 50 to play these roles.
As with the audtions for “The Rat Pack Lounge,” those interested in au-ditioning should phone 613-828-3500 or email [email protected] to make an appointment.
His four criteria for selection, as outlined in his will, were literary and scholastic attainments; energy to use one’s talents to the full; truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for and protection of the week, kind-liness, unselfi shness and fellowship; and moral force of character and in-stincts to lead and to take an interest in one’s fellow beings.
Rhodes, a British born entrepre-neur who made a fortune on diamond mines in southern Africa, was him-self a graduate of the University of Oxford in 1882. Oxford is the oldest university in the English speaking world and is unique for its system of intimate tutorial education and residential colleges. Rhodes wanted his scholarship recipients to benefi t from their time at Oxford and hoped that Rhodes scholars would go on to engage in work that would show their concern for others and would make a positive difference in the world.
Canadian Rhodes scholars have include former Prime Minister John Turner, for New Democratic Party leader David Lewis, former Sas-katchewan premier Allen Blakeney, former Newfound premier Danny Williams, former Ontario premier Bob Rae, and neurosurgeon Wilder Penfi eld.
A Rhodes scholarship includes tu-ition, college fees and a stipend cov-ering living expenses for two years at the University of Oxford. The schol-arship is considered worth at least $50,000 per year.

Cydney Roesler of Stittsvilleon silver medal winning team
JOHN CURRY
Stittsville was repre-sented on Canada’s na-tional women’s under-18 hockey team that won the silver medals at the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) world under-18 championship in Sweden last week.
Cydney Roesler, 16, daughter of Ky and Terri Roesler of Stittsville, was one of six defencemen on the team.
The tournament, played in Stockholm, Sweden, saw Canada win three straight games in prelimi-nary round play, advanc-ing to a semi-fi nal game on Friday, Jan. 7. the vic-tories in the preliminary round were 9-1 over Swit-zerland, 6-0 over Finland and 8-1 over Germany.
In the semi-fi nal game against Finland, Canada prevailed by a 6-1 score, with Cydney Roesler scor-ing one of the Canada goals on a power play. Finland went on to win the tournament’s bronze medals.
Canada went on to play the United States in the championship fi nal on Saturday, Jan. 8, losing by a 5-2 score. Canada had en-tered the tournament as the defending champions, having won gold at the under-18 women’s world championship in Chicago last April.
Canada and the United States have met in all four gold medal championship games in the history of the IIHF women’s under-
18 world championship. Canada has only won once, in the Chicago tour-nament.
Cydney Roesler was one of 20 players on the Cana-dian team at the 2011 IIHF women’s under-18 world championship. She made the team after attend-ing its national selection camp from Dec. 17 to 19 in Toronto where there were ten defensemen compet-ing for the six spots on the roster.
Last August, Cydney had played for Canada in a three game series against the United States at Lake Placid, New York where she was one of seven de-fensemen on the team. The United States de-feated Canada in all three games. Cydney was held scoreless in the games, although she picked up 14 minutes in penalties, the most on the Canadian squad.
Cydney had attended the national women’s program’s strength and conditioning camp in Cal-gary, Alberta in May, 2010.
Cydney, who shoots right, stands 5 foot, nine inches tall and weighs 159 pounds, grew up playing for Stittsville Minor Hock-ey and Goulbourn Rams teams before switching to women’s hockey in the 2008-2009 season. She made the switch because it had to be done at some point and she wanted to put herself in a position to get a hockey scholar-ship to an American uni-versity if possible.
She had played the 2007-
2008 season with the Otta-wa Valley Silver Seven, an elite boys’ program team. Prior to that, she had won a playoff championship with the Goulbourn Rams peewee AA boys team in 2006, was captain of the playoff champion Goul-bourn Rams atom AA team in 2005 and won the Bell Capital Cup with the Goulbourn Rams in 2004.
Her club team now is the Ottawa Senators of the women’s hockey league. In the 2009-2010 season with the Senators, she scored 4 goals and had 18 assists in 34 games, while picking up 28 minutes in penalties. She also played seven playoff games, get-ting three assists.
Cydney, who attends South Carleton High School in Richmond and will be turning 17 on Feb. 21, views herself as a playmaking defenseman who likes to play both on the power play and on the penalty kill group.
She lists women’s team captain Hayley Wicken-heiser as her favourite fe-male athlete with the Ot-tawa Senators being her favourite team.

Cydney Roesler both honoured and inspiredJOHN CURRY
Cydney Roesler of Stittsville has a host of feelings result-ing from her participation as a member of Team Canada in the 2011 women’s under-18 world hockey championship in Swe-den.
She felt honoured putting on a Team Canada jersey as well as a great sense of accomplish-ment.
“The jersey represented who we were playing for and to be able to represent my country at 16 is something I’ve always dreamed of,” Cydney replied in an email interview.
And as for pressure from playing for the national team, she turned this into a posi-tive, knowing that playing for her country would only make her work harder to achieve the dream of winning the champi-onship.
She keyed in on the word “in-spiring” in describing her world championship experience.
“It was an incredible oppor-tunity that I will always remem-ber but it has also inspired me to work even harder with hopes of winning the gold medal next
year and in the future, play-ing on the Canadian Olympic team,” she observed. Because she is only 16 now, she is eligible for next year’s women’s under 18 world hockey championship and she is already looking for-ward to the chance of compet-ing for the gold again.
Cydney says that her world championship experience will be something not only that she will always cherish but also that will help her in her development as a player.
“I will take the information that I have learned over the past two weeks and continue to build on becoming a better hockey player,” she wrote in her email interview.
She did not face any chal-lenges playing on the larger Eu-ropean ice surface because of previous experience playing on such surfaces but she admits to being surprised at the caliber of play of some of the other teams in the competition.
“The European teams had some talented players on their rosters but not the depth that the North American teams had,” Cydney says.
She admits that Canada did not play its best game as a
team in the Jan. 8 champion-ship game against the winning United States squad, noting that the U.S. team capitalized on its opportunities whereas Team Canada did not.
“We defi nitely had great mo-ments where we forechecked hard and created scoring oppor-
tunities but we just had a dif-fi cult time putting the puck in the net,” she writes about this championship game in which Canada lost 5-2 to the Ameri-cans.
Cydney describes herself as more of an offensive defen-seman, rushing the puck and
creating scoring opportunities when opportunities arise. She notes that in the world champi-onship in Stockholm, Sweden she played on Canada’s power play which gave her the oppor-tunity to earn a few assists and even score her fi rst internation-al goal.

We enter the new year with stronger warning labels on cigarette packages. Does it seem like we’ve entered every new year with stronger warning labels on cigarette packages?
And have those stronger warning labels worked? Good question. Something is work-ing, at least in the long term. Way fewer people smoke now than did 25 years ago. If you are old enough to have been smok-ing 25 years ago, you will re-member New Years Eve parties where everybody smoked. And you will count up the number of those people who still smoke, and fi nd almost none.
So clearly something is work-ing. And the warning labels are a lot stronger now than they were 25 years ago.
So, is that it? Probably not. What else changed in those years? Well, social pressure is a big one. Suddenly, it was not cool to smoke, especially if you were an adult. Hosts stopped supplying ash trays at their
houses. Smokers had to step outside, where the odds are it would be cold, in this country. Offi ces banned smoking. Stores and movie theatres banned smoking. Malls banned smok-ing. Airports banned smoking.
All of that made smoking a lot less convenient and a lot less fashionable. Suddenly, you were a pariah if you smoked. The most severely addicted would persevere. You can still see them, outside, huddled in the cold. Most others gave it up.
To understand how much life here has changed, look back to the Sixties and Seventies where you could smoke a cigarette in the grocery store, light up in a university seminar room, on an airplane, in a movie theatre.
If we could fi gure out what
caused this big shift in our thinking, we could use it to attack other social problems, as well as prevent the development of new smokers. However, one factor has to be cost. According to Mr. Google, you could buy a pack of smokes for $2.64 in 1985. Then prices more than doubled in the next decade. And the price paid now is double that again. Does it surprise you that fewer people will pay that price?
The big factor in the in-creased cost is taxes. Raising taxes, always a delicate mat-ter politically, can have some embarrassing side effects, such as the dramatic rise in cigarette smuggling in the early ’90s. Which may be why the federal government, rather than bump-ing up the cost of cigarette still further, chooses instead to bump up the horror factor in cigarette packaging.
There is almost no political price to be paid for this. And if it really worked, it would be good to see the principle applied to other dangerous substances.
How about photos of rotted livers and mangled automobiles on liquor bottles and cases of beer?
Not going to happen, you say. You’re probably right. And it probably doesn’t matter, anyway. As a society, we are frightened enough already, what with one thing and another. As graphic and sad as the new labels are, it’s not as if smokers were not aware before that they are doing something dangerous to their lives and others.
The smart thing to do would be to make them pay more through higher taxes. Higher cigarette costs would be a
deterrent and the additional tax revenues would be useful in this age of high defi cits.
But there isn’t a govern-ment alive today that will risk increasing taxes. So we are left warning labels. If that’s what it is to be, maybe the labels should take a different approach. Clearly smokers aren’t afraid to die. But maybe they are afraid to be shunned.
Warning: Cigarettes make you stand outside in the cold while everybody else is having fun inside.
Warning: Cigarettes make your clothes smell.
OPINIONEDITORIAL
Let’s cover all our bases
COLUMN
Warning: Watch out for new warning labels
The Carp Road landfi ll expan-sion is back front and centre now that the provincial govern-ment has approved the Terms of Reference for the Environ-mental Assessment related to the creation of a new landfi ll footprint at the site.
Next week the fi rst in what we are sure will be a number of public open houses about the proposed new landfi ll site will be held, with the sessions taking place in Carp, Kanata and here in Stittsville.
Public input will be vital in the ultimate resolution of this issue, one way or the other. That is why it is important that resi-dents, particularly in Stittsville which is the nearest community to the landfi ll site, stay abreast of the latest developments and
submit their comments.We know that there are some
who want no new landfi ll on that site whatsoever. This is a viewpoint that is legitimate but it must also be a viewpoint that can be defended reasonably and scientifi cally.
There are others who are will-ing to give a new landfi ll on that site a chance, given the improve-ments that have happened of late at the site and the decline in the problems emanating from it.
Just what view will win the day in the end is not known at the present time but it would seem that it only makes sense that the community should cover all bases and be prepared for whatever the outcome might be. That is why issues such as community benefi ts coming
from Waste Management, own-ers of the landfi ll site, should receive signifi cant attention during the Environmental As-sessment process. We cannot, as a community, put all of our eggs in the basket of provincial rejection of the whole proposal.
We have to be prepared that the new landfi ll site may be approved, either as proposed or altered. If a new landfi ll is approved, then the community had better be getting signifi -cant benefi ts from its presence. This means annual community contributions that can be used for environmental projects, recreational facilities, or other community needs.
We have to, as a community, ensure that these are suffi cient and not just a token amount.

Want to learn to dance the sal-sa? Or would you like to harness the power of your emotions? Or do you want to become more fi t? Or do you want to learn how to play golf or improve your golf game?
These can all be done without leaving the community as these are general interest courses be-ing offered by the Ottawa Catho-lic School Board’s Continuing and Community Education program for the upcoming win-ter and spring sessions. These courses are being offered right here in Stittsville at Sacred Heart Catholic High School.
Instructors May and Karl Leung will be offering an intro-ductory level salsa dance class at Sacred Heart, beginning on Thursday, Feb. 3. There will also be a similar eight week interme-diate level salsa class offered as well.
If dancing is not your thing but you want to get more in touch with your emotions and feelings, consider enrolling in Kim Barnwell’s “Harness the Power of Your Emotions – In-tuitive Development Workshop” which will be offered at Sacred Heart for both the winter ses-sion starting on Thursday, Feb. 3 and the spring session starting on Thursday, April 21.
In this course, Kim Barnwell, who is an accredited certifi ed professional co-active coach who has been providing personal growth and self awareness pro-grams to clients since 1999.
In this course, which involves fi ve weekly classes, participants will develop a more intimate re-lationship with your emotional nature and will discover the tru-er messages your emotions have for you. Participants will learn how to interpret the energy of your emotions, connecting you with your own inner wisdom and allowing you to feel more confi dent.
Sacred Heart is also the place to go for women’s fi tness.
There is a women’s boot camp/interval training course that is being offered in both the winter and spring sessions under the guidance of Cinzia DiNardo. The eight week winter session starts on Tuesday, Jan. 25 while the eight week spring session starts on Tuesday, April 19.
This is a muscle toning and heart pumping class which will include interval training, cardio and athletic drills, plyometrics, body strength and toning exer-cises. All fi tness levels are wel-come to enroll.
Or if this boot camp/interval training course is not for you, what about an “All About the Core for Women” course which
will be offered at Sacred Heart both this winter and this spring.
The winter session begins on Tuesday, Jan. 25 and runs for eight weeks. The spring session will get underway on Tuesday, April 19 and also run for eight weeks.
This course will use a stability ball to tone the abs, backs, buns, arms and legs. Posture, balance and stability will be the focus while developing muscle tone and strength. Participants must bring their own ball to the class.
Golfi ng has become so popular these days and you can either learn the game or improve your game at Sacred Heart this win-ter.
A beginner lesson package is being offered for six weeks at Sa-cred Heart beginning on Tues-day, Jan. 25. In this course, you will learn about the rules, eti-quette, club selection and start-ing position fundaments, swing motion, chipping and putting.
There is also an intermediate lesson package which involves learning about the golf swing in detail and how it works. This in-termediate lesson package is be-ing offered for six weeks begin-ning on Tuesday, Jan. 25.
A babysitting course for youth is being offered at Sacred Heart in both the winter and spring sessions. It will be offered on Tuesdays or Thursdays begin-ning in the fi rst week of Febru-ary and running for fi ve weeks.
In the spring, it will also be of-fered on Tuesdays or Thursdays beginning the week of Monday, April 18. The purpose of this course is to teach present and po-tential babysitters the basics of child care and child safety. The course is taught by Red Cross certifi ed instructors and a certif-icate is issued upon completion of the course.
Sacred Heart will also be the site for a March Break camp, namely a National Tennis Camp. For those aged 6 to 14 years, the camp will consist of three to four hours of tennis per day where youth will learn tennis fundamentals and will compete in a tournament. There will also be other activities such as team competitions, swimming, a fun Olympics, a music day and theme days. The camp will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day during March Break which is March 14 to 18 this year.
Registration for these courses and activities at Sacred Heart Catholic High School, as well as any other general interest and computer courses being offered by the Ottawa Catholic School Board’s Continuing and Commu-nity Education program at sites across the city of Ottawa can be done online, by phone, by mail, by fax or in person.

RVA not opposed to proposed retail developmentJOHN CURRY
The Richmond Village Association (RVA) has withdrawn its Ontario Munic-ipal Board appeal of the recent Offi cial Plan Amendment dealing with develop-ment in Richmond but had the appeal not been withdrawn, the RVA was prepared to exclude from the appeal the proposed Colonnade Developments retail develop-ment proposal at the northeast corner of Perth Street and Shea Road in Rich-mond.
The RVA Board of Directors, at its Jan. 4 meeting, gave approval for this exclu-sion to happen if the appeal were to be pursued.
In the end, the RVA has withdrawn the whole appeal and so this exclusion was not necessary.
Bruce Webster, the immediate past president of the RVA who was leading the RVA’s appeal, was in favour of ex-cluding the Colonnade Developments site from the appeal since he feels that the ten acre retail development will have a positive impact on the village as
a whole. He acknowledges that there will be some impact from the development on some residents of Shea Road but stressed to the RVA Board of Directors that the development will be screened from the homes and the proposed entrance from Shea Road will be for service vehicles only, keeping traffi c down on the road.
The Colonnade Developments proposal includes a grocery store that would be up to 50 percent larger than the existing gro-cery store in the village, a Shoppers Drug Mart, a bank, possibly a Tim Hortons and various other smaller retail outlets.
The development will provide job op-portunities for Richmond youth as well as for adults, Mr. Webster said, while not-ing that the development is still in the planning stages.
In his view, the current Richmond Plaza could lose tenants to the new retail development.
“It will become a derelict plaza, no question,” he said about the Richmond Plaza, stating that the plaza owners had made no major expenditures to maintain it except for patching some asphalt and doing some re-roofi ng.

RVA withdraws its OMB appealJOHN CURRY
The Richmond Village As-sociation (RVA) has withdrawn its Ontario Municipal Board ap-peal to the city of Ottawa’s Offi -cial Plan Amendment 88 dealing with development in Richmond.
The RVA, through immediate past president Bruce Webster and treasurer Judy Wagdin, had submitted the appeal following Ottawa city council’s approval of the amendment last sum-mer. The amendment had been the result of two years of work by city staff and a local steer-ing committee, creating a Com-munity Design Plan on which the Offi cial Plan Amendment is based.
The OMB hearing was all set to go last Monday, Jan. 10 but a meeting in the week before Christmas and continuing dis-cussions last week resulted in the RVA withdrawing the ap-peal.
Bruce Webster, who was ready to represent the RVA before the OMB even though he is not a lawyer and had summons pa-pers ready to serve on potential witnesses, said that the decision to withdraw was pretty close to a 10th hour decision, if not quite an 11th hour decision. It was done only after the RVA felt that both the city and the Ride-au Valley Conservation Author-ity now more fully recognize the RVA’s concerns regarding storm water management and the use of sump pumps in the proposed Mattamy Homes subdivision in the western part of the village.
Mr. Webster had talked exten-sively with city staff as well as with an independent lawyer and while he feels that the RVA had a strong case to put forward, he feels that RVA concerns are now better understood by the city.
He still contends that the whole Community Design Plan process undertaken by the city was faulty because of the in-volvement of the developer, Mattamy Homes.
At its Jan. 4 meeting, the
Board of Directors of the RVA gave Mr. Webster the authority to make the decision regarding the appeal and whether it would be withdrawn or not.
In explaining the situation at the meeting, Mr. Webster said that the whole purpose of the ap-peal was to get across to the city that Richmond wants to remain a safe and healthy environment in which to raise families and live and where local business can fl ourish.
He said that the city agrees with this premise.
Mr. Webster, on behalf of the RVA, had before Christmas pre-sented city offi cials with seven areas of concern by the RVA which brought about the OMB appeal.
These include the need for a complete Environmental As-sessment of the storm water management for the Mattamy lands; the requirement that the Mattamy development comply with normal city standards for foundation drainage and not sump pumps; development of a comprehensive plan to expand communal water services to the existing residents should the current shallow aquifer which provides much of the drinking water for the village be adverse-ly impacted by the Mattamy development’s deep wells, with the cost to the tempered by the knowledge that the existing res-idents did not cause the aquifer failure; development by the city of a plan to remove extraneous in-fl ows to the village’s sewage collection system; that the city restrict the practice of com-bining the development of a Community Design Plan with a developer’s plans; that the devel-oper pay appropriate infrastruc-ture costs brought about by the proposed development; and that these development charges to exclusively directed towards recreation and other necessary infrastructure improvements in the village.
The RVA was also assured by the city that it could still appeal any future Planning Act matter
or Environmental Assessment Act process without the with-drawal of the OMB appeal being used as a reason to dismiss such future appeals.
However, the city has not made any commitment regard-ing the fi nancial impact on ex-isting residents if a communal
water system is installed in the whole village.
This had been an important concern for Mr. Webster as he tried to get the city to acknowl-edge that existing residents should not bear sole responsi-bility for any new wells that needed to be drilled or installa-
tion of a communal water sys-tem for the village.
Mr. Webster suggested at the RVA meeting that these costs could be $20,000 per house, saying that existing residents should not have to bear the costs of a failed aquifer caused by a developer.

John Curry photo Geoff Randall of Stittsville sits behind two of the boxes which he hand crafted and which are now on display at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library.
Using native, exotic woods for boxesJOHN CURRY
There’s Pau Amarillo and Bub-inga. There’s Chakte-kok. There’s Bloodwood. And what about Jar-rah. And Zircote. Then there’s Canarywood, Goncalo Alves and Sapele. And perhaps the better known Spalted Hickory, Big Leaf Maple, Holly, Curly Maple and Bird’s Eye Maple. What are we talking about and how are they all related? Well, these are some of the native and exotic woods which are used for the boxes and small cabi-nets which Geoff Randall of Stitts-ville hand crafts.
A display of his work is now on exhibit in the display cabinet in the ArtSpace area of the Stitts-ville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. The display will be there until the end of January.
“It’s not a job, it’s a hobby,” Mr. Randall says about his box mak-ing.
He explains that as retirement from his career as a research sci-entist in veterinary reproductive and recombinant DNA technolo-gies was approaching several years ago, he began looking for a hobby that in retirement would be inter-esting, challenging and would offer a chance to develop a new set of skills. He took a basic woodwork-ing course at Algonquin College
as he had always worked with his hands in his career and thought such a course might provide an av-enue to a retirement hobby.
Well, it turned out that way as he made a playing card box for his family and when the work turned out to be acceptable, he was turned onto box making. He realized that box making would let him carry out complex, detailed joinery work in the confi nes of his small base-ment shop. Another plus was that box making does not require much wood and hence he did not need a lot of storage space. Indeed, his box making enables him to use small amounts of beautifully co-loured and fi gured woods, from both domestic and exotic sources. But he likes keeping a fair amount of these woods on hand not just to have a good selection for box mak-ing but because, quite simply, as he puts it, “some is nice to look at.”
Geoff ended up selling eight or nine of his hand made boxes be-fore he actually retired and while he has honed his techniques since then, he still has fond memories of these early boxes.
“Actually I got a lot of satisfac-tion out of making the early box-es,” he says.
It has become a hobby that he has found very satisfying as it al-lows him to get an idea for a box and then take it through to comple-
tion. He has not made two boxes exactly the same since he started and readily admits that he makes the boxes for his own enjoyment. If others like and want them, then that’s icing on the cake.
One of the challenges that he has found in box making is fi tting the hinges properly so that the lid fi ts squarely all around.
Another challenge is ensuring that any dovetail corners are tight and square. This is particularly important for the drawers in his bigger jewellery boxes.
He purchases most of his exotic woods from a Bentley Avenue wood dealer while he buys his fi gured maple woods wherever he happens to see them.
It is the mixing of various woods, with their different grains and co-lours, that appeals to Geoff.
“Part of what I enjoy is mixing and matching the wood colours,” he says.
One of the things about box mak-ing is that it is time consuming, not in actual hours of construction for a particular box but in the linear time frame required. For instance, a box may take three hours’ work but this may be spread out over a week. This is because the wood for a lid may be glued together but then it has to be allowed to dry be-fore it can be sanded.

So the work on any particular box is not continuous but is spread out over a number of days, with some being more time consuming than others depending on size and design.
He uses a combination of hand and power tools in constructing the boxes, doing the fi ne fi nishing work with hand tools.
At one time Geoff used tongue oil to fi nish the boxes but he found that it pro-duced a high gloss fi nish which he did not particularly like. In addition, it has a smell to it that some do not like.
While he does on occasion use shel-
lac fi nish, he mainly now uses walnut oil. He likes the fact that it is a natural fi nish that brings out the grain in the wood without leaving a high gloss on the surface. He also likes the fact that a cus-tomer, down the road, can easily obtain walnut oil if the box needs a mild touch-up or refreshing.
Most of Geoff ’s boxes are made of solid wood, although he does do some veneer fi nishes, a skill that he admits is something that he is learning to do. He admits that there is a little more work in doing veneers.
His boxes range in price from $20 up to $500, with many in the $50 to $100 range. Price depends a lot on the wood used and other costs, such as surprisingly expen-
sive hinges.He takes the cost of the wood into con-
sideration when planning a box but he admits that his main criteria in the se-lection of the woods for a box is “Does it look nice.”
He does most of his box making in the winter when the weather is not good, as he has other pastimes such as gardening to occupy his time in the summer.
Geoff does do commission work, made to order pieces. These are usually his larger jewellery boxes which he only does on order. Some of his pieces have even made it to the United States and the United Kingdom.
His sales efforts have largely consisted of participation in the Glebe Community
Artisans Craft Fair from 2006 to the pres-ent; in the Red Trillium Studio Tour and the Maple Run Studio Tour as a guest artist from 2007 and 2008 onwards respec-tively; and in the Crown and Pumpkin Studio Tour in 2008.
Geoff fi nds fi nds his box making hob-by very satisfying and proudly puts his initials on the bottom of each box. He likes the way that the hobby keeps him just busy enough and while the boxes are a lot of work, he fi nds that they are fun to make. And if box sales allow him to buy his exotic and native woods and perhaps a new tool now and again, then he is in retirement heaven.

Championsthanks toshootout,overtimeSPECIAL TO THE NEWS
A semi-fi nal shootout follow-ing double overtime. A fi nal game double overtime. But thanks to playing their hearts out, lots of parental cheering and, just per-haps the coach’s lucky penny, the Stittsville Rams Bantam B2 house league team emerged as champi-ons in the recent Bell Sensplex Holiday shootout tournament.
The team started out the tour-nament on a Friday morning with a 3-2 loss despite outplaying its opponent. But victories in the team’s next two games, 5-0 and 3-2, gave the Rams a chance to move on to the quarter-fi nals. Finally, late on the Saturday evening, the team received word that it was in the quarter-fi nals, with the game on the Sunday morning.
The Rams won this game 2-1 to move on to the semi-fi nals just two hours later. The Rams played their hearts out in this game which ended in a scoreless tie after regulation time. A fi rst overtime period of four-on-four hockey solved nothing. So, it was on to a second overtime session, this time featuring three-on-three hockey. Again, nothing resolved.
So, it was shootout time.Sam Hickey and Luka Raspopo-
vic scored for the Rams in this shootout while goalie Thomas Rossell was stellar in the Rams net, with the Rams winning the shootout 2-1.
It was now off to the fi nals, with coach Steve Roud in his pre-game talk urging the players to leave everything on the ice in the game and give it their all, so that whatever happens, there will be no regrets.
The Rams were down 1-0 with only three minutes left in the game but then the Rams scored to tie it up. The game went back and forth, with the parents cheer-ing and coach Roud bearing his lucky penny.
This championship game went into overtime, with the fi rst over-time period solving nothing. So, it was into a second overtime period, the Rams’ second double overtime in two games and the team’s third game of the day.
With just 47 seconds left in this second overtime period, Chris-tian Twarog scored for the Rams, giving the team the tournament championship.

The 3 Pillars of Team ExcellenceHow to boost your staff ’s productivity and maximize
employee motivation
If you’re a manager or supervisor, have you noticed a decline in your staff ’s morale due to our downturn econ-omy?
If you’re a business owner or entrepre-neur, do you stay up at nights trying to fi gure out ways to attract, manage, and retain quality employees?
If you’re a leader of any group, team, or organization, have you ever experi-enced any type of stress and respon-sibility in keeping your members mo-tivated to keep doing their jobs?
If so, then you’re not alone, these are the realities of our new economy. This means we have to work harder and smarter to get the same results we did in the previous econ-omy. If we maintain the status quo of taking our staff , employees, and team members for granted, they’ll eventually leave us, and then we’re in trouble.
What we need to focus on is how to better understand our staff members, how to reward and recognize our employees, and how to empower and energize our team mem-bers to build long-term trust and loyalty. The following 3 Pillars of Team Excellence are derived from having taught and trained over 6,000 private and public sector employees, children and adults, profi t and non-profi t organizations in the past 25 years.
WN-HF-BV – Take the time to talk to understand what are their Wants and Needs? Dare to discuss their Hopes and Fears. Do you know what their Beliefs and Values are? By gathering this information, you’ll get a deeper understanding of “what is it that makes them tick”, and thereby increase your chances of getting the best out of them.
Rewards and Recognition – What gets recognized gets repeated. When you see posi-tive behaviour, recognize it, and it will surely be repeated. Do this instead of focus-ing on the negative, which just drains and demoralizes your staff . Whether it’s a formal employee recognition award program or a simple pat on the back, a written Thank You note, or a sincere word of praise, your team members will appreciate it.
Team Building Events - When done properly, team building events have the power to supercharge your team and are an outstanding opportunity to:
• Communicate with each other at a more meaningful level• Reward and recognize your staff for a job well done• Empower and energize your team members by saying, “I value you, I honour you, and I thank you.”
“People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.”
So now, you’ll take the time to understand WH-HF-BV and to reward and recognize your team members. Next step is to plan your next team building event in your calendar. You’ve done the golf tournament thing, probably had some sort of team lunch or dinner at some point, and now you’re looking for something new, original, and powerful.
Black Belt Excellence is pleased to present our Warrior Team Builder – A Unique Mar-tial Arts Team Building Experience. What if your staff all got to participate in an actual physical martial arts workout? Imagine if your employees got the chance to engage in team building activities and meaningful dialogue? Would you believe that you and your team members could actually break a wooden board, like you see on television or in the movies?
Be a leader, apply The 3 Pillars of Team Excellence, take part of the movement towards rewarding and recognizing your staff in a new and exciting way, and empower and ener-gize your team by booking your customized Warrior Team Builder this year.
Black Belt Excellence will be at the Health and Wellness Tradeshow on Saturday, January 15 at Scotia Bank Place, and we’d be happy to meet with you in person and help you achieve your team goals in 2011 and beyond.

Robert Morris University photo Brianna Delaney of Stittsville, who wears sweater number 8 for the Robert Morris University Colonials, skates up the ice in action against the University of Connecticut Huskies.
Sister show for Robert Morris ColonialsSPECIAL TO THE NEWSIt was a sister show for
the Robert Morris Univer-sity Colonials women’s hockey team on Saturday, Jan. 8.
Playing against the Uni-versity of Connecticut Hus-kies, Brianna Delaney of Stittsville scored the fi rst two goals of the game with both being assisted by her sister Cobina Delaney. This was the fi rst time in their careers at Pittsburgh’s Rob-ert Morris University that Cobina had assisted on a goal by Brianna – and she did it twice within eight minutes of the game.
With her two goals in this
game, Brianna Delaney, who is a junior at Robert Morris University, became just the second Colonial to surpass the 80 point plateau in her career. She is also just the third Robert Morris Uni-versity player to score 40 career goals as her second goal of the game was the 40th of her Robert Morris University career.
It was also Brianna’s team leading sixth multi-point game of the season and the 21st such occasion in her career.
Brianna also leads her team in both points, 18, and goals, 8, this season.
While this game marked
the fi rst time that Cobina had assisted on a goal by Brianna, the reverse has happened four times as Brianna has assisted on all four of Cobina’s goals this season.
On Sunday, Jan. 9, in another game against the University of Connecticut Huskies, Brianna Delaney picked up a third period assist to break the all-time Robert Morris University school record for assists in a career. It was her 42nd as-sist of her career.
What made this record breaking assist even more memorable for Brianna was that it came on a goal by
her younger sister Cobina Delaney. This was Cobina’s fi fth goal of the season, all of which have been assisted by Brianna.

Photos, music, euchre at Stittsville LegionBARB VANT’SLOT
Special to the News
For the past four years, Kelly Moore has com-piled a beautiful album of photographs of the Nov. 11 cenotaph service in Stittsville which she has presented to the Stittsville Legion where it is now on display. Anyone who would like to drop in and see its many photos is most welcome to do so. The Legion thanks Kelly for this generous donation.
CONCERT BANDThe past year of 2010 was a banner year for the
Stittsville concert band, especially with the band solidifying its partnership with the Stittsville le-gion. The concert band is actually three bands in one – a full concert band with approximately 40 members; a ten piece dinner band for formal functions; and a 17 piece dance group known as the Main and Abbott Dance Band. All together in 2010, these groups played a total of 20 engage-ments which is quite a number, especially with taking off the summer. The inaugural Stittsville Christmas Festival Concert on Friday, Dec. 10 proved to be a great success with over 200 per-formers and Max Keeping as MC. A Stittsville Legion colour party paid tribute to Canadian Forces members serving at home and abroad.
The concert band has a number of events scheduled for 2011.
Anyone interested in playing in the band or in booking the band for an event should con-tact Christine at 613-831-1575 or via email at [email protected].
COMING EVENTS“Karaoke” by Yellow Dory will be held on Sat-
urday, Jan. 22 starting at 8 p.m. at the Legion Hall. Everyone is welcome for a fun evening.
Euchre is played every Tuesday at 1:15 p.m. at the Legion Hall while bingo is played every Wednesday starting at 6:45 p.m. Everyone in the community is welcome to attend these activi-ties.
LEGION HAPPENINGSThe Tannoy, the Legion’s newsletter, has been
posted to the Stittsville Legion web page which can be found at www.rcl-zoneg5.ca. Just scroll down to the branch that you want to read about.
Chris Koeing, Patricia Davies, Denis and Ja-net Bruyere, Rick and Mike Nolan and Clayton Forsythe have been welcomed as new members of the Stittsville Leigon.
Sympathy goes out to Ernie and Judy Navin and their family on the death of Ernie’s sister, Gwen Easey, on Dec. 24.
RECENT EVENTSTeri Bennett entertained at the Legion Hall on
New Year’s Day, with a good turnout.The New Year’s dinner dance was a great suc-
cess, with a wonderful roast beef dinner and great music for dancing. Judy Campbell would like to thank all those who helped organize this event and who helped with the cleanup.

Public open housesfor landfi ll expansion
SPECIAL TO THE NEWSThe public involvement part
of the Environmental Assess-ment process that will lead to ap-proval or not of a new landfi ll at Waste Management’s Carp Road site is starting.
A series of three public open houses are being held next week to review the approved Terms of Reference for the Environmental Assessment and to introduce the study work plans related to the Environmental Assessment.
The open houses will be hap-pening on Tuesday, Jan. 18 at the Carp Agricultural Hall in Carp, on Wednesday, Jan. 19 at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata and on Thursday, Jan. 20 at the Stittsville Legion Hall in Stitts-ville. All of the open houses will run from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
These open houses are meant as an opportunity for members of the public to identify issues, interests or ideas that should be addressed during the Environ-mental Assessment.
The Environmental Assess-
ment will be carried out accord-ing to the Terms of Reference which were approved by the On-tario Minister of the Environ-ment on Nov. 25, 2010.
The proposed new landfi ll for the Carp Road site is the only component of Waste Manage-ment’s proposed West Carleton Environmental Centre that re-quires Environmental Assess-ment approval under the Envi-ronmental Assessment Act. The purpose of the Environmental Assessment is to study the poten-tial environmental effects of the proposed new landfi ll, including consideration and evaluation of alternatives and the manage-ment of potential environmental impacts.
The proposed West Carleton Environmental Centre would include waste diversion and re-cycling operations, composting operations, renewable energy facilities, recreational lands for community uses and, of course, the new landfi ll for disposal of residual waste materials.

Huskies #4 in provinceSPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The Sacred Heart Huskies are not only leading the West Division of the Nation-al Capital senior boys (tier 1) basketball league but also have cracked the top ten in the provincial high school rankings.
The Huskies are the only Ottawa area team in the top ten.
In the latest rankings, as of Jan. 3, for the top ten senior boys high school bas-ketball teams in Ontario, the Huskies are
ranked number four, trailing only J.C. Richardson of Ajax, Vaughn of Toronto and Anderson of Whitby.
In regular season play to date, the Hus-kies rattled off fi ve straight wins before the Christmas break. The team returns to the court for more league action this week. These fi ve straight wins have placed the Huskies in fi rst place in the eight-team West division of the National Capital se-nior boys (tier 1) basketball league.
SPECIAL TO THE NEWSThe Sacred Heart Hus-
kies captured third place in one of the most pres-tigious high school bas-ketball tournaments in Canada.
Playing in the 12 team Bedford Road Invitational Tournament (BRIT) in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the Huskies defeated Stur-geon Heights Composite High School of Edmonton, Alberta 62-47 in the bronze medal game.
The big clash in the tournament was the semi-fi nal game between the Huskies and St. George’s of Vancouver which St. George’s won 41-36. St.
George’s, a top ten team in British Columbia, went on to win the tournament, defeating Centennial High School of Saskatoon 41-31 in the championship fi nal.
Sacred Heart had won two straight games before losing to St. George’s.
The Huskies beat the host Bedford Road Colle-giate team of Saskatoon 83-36 in their opening game and followed that up with a 61-53 victory over Garden City High School of Winnipeg. Garden City is the number one ranked high school team in Mani-toba.
Sean Stoqua of the Sa-cred Heart Catholic High
School Huskies was cho-sen as the tournament’s Most Valuable Player while his Husky teammate Vik Gill earned a spot on the tournament’s all-star team.
This BRIT tournament, which dates back to 1968, attracts teams not only from Saskatchewan but also from other provinces. High schools in this year’s tournament included not only the Sacred Heart Hus-kies from Ontario but also included teams from Van-couver, B.C., Winnipeg, Manitoba and Calgary, Al-berta, as well as from both Saskatoon and Regina in Saskatchewan.
