noting they kept a lot of great hockey 

players. 

“Look at the great job Josh Mac- 

Donald, Brady Campbell and Jonathon 

Rizzo did, these guys are good 

hockey players and they just bought

FORMALITIES Art Woods, past international director and convention chair (left); Carl Young, 

international director; and Todd Wilson, the out-going governor, take part at the Lions district convention 

governor’s banquet May 7 at Lions Hall in Elmira. 

Elmira Lions host district convention 

Colin Dewar 

Elmira was home to a 

sea of purple and yellow 

last week as local 

Lions hosted the club’s 

district convention. 

Last Saturday, however, 

it was a decidedly black 

tie affair at Lions Hall 

for the formal governor’s 

banquet. 

The dressy event was 

part of a convention 

that members from 

some 54 clubs in southcentral 

Ontario in attendance. 

“We are very happy 

with the turnout this 

weekend, as we had 

565 registrations,” said 

Elmira Lion Art Woods, 

past international director 

for Lions Club 

International and convention 

chair. 

The convention is 

held annually to elect 

• Landscape Construction • Armour Stone Placement 

• Retaining Wall Construction - Design & Build 

• Snow Removal • Excavating • Haulage 

new offi cers for the 

club in the coming 

year, including voting 

for a new governor. 

This year Norma J Peterson 

from Fergus will 

be replacing Todd Wilson. 

“We also hold it to 

renew old friendships 

make new ones and 

have some fun and review 

our programs for 

the coming year,” said 

Woods. 

Four main speakers 

were scheduled to 

talk at the convention, 

including a presentation 

about the Lions 

Foundation of Canada, 

the club’s dog-training 

program that provides 

service dogs for people 

who are blind or visually 

impaired, and to 

meet the needs of Canadians 

with hearing 

and other medical and 

• Full Lawn & Flowerbed Maintenance Programs 

physical disabilities. 

A representative 

from Lake Joe, a camp 

on Lake Joseph in cottage 

country where 

people who are visually 

impaired can go with 

their families and have 

a holiday, also spoke to 

the conventioneers. 

“We also had a speaker 

from Camp Dorset, 

where someone with 

kidney disease and is 

on dialysis can take 

their family up to the 

camp for a holiday explain 

what they have 

planned for the coming 

year, as well as Camp 

Kirk who help with 

handicapped children 

and offer then a summer 

vacation,” said 

Woods. 

The offi cial opening 

ceremonies were 

held May 6 as everyone 

gathered to greet one 

another. 

During the weekend 

a musical jam session 

was held inviting members 

of the club to show 

off their musical talents. 

“It has been a great 

weekend, we have had 

no major issues.” 

Woods said he was 

very encouraged by the 

out come of the convention 

and looks forward 

to next year’s. 

This week the Lions 

Club with help from 

Maple Leafs Forever, a 

foundation that assists 

organizations in by 

paying half the costs of 

acquiring trees, will be 

planting trees along the 

Kissing Bridge Trail. 

“We are going to be 

planting 100 Canadian 

seed maple leaf trees,” 

said Woods. “These 

are not little saplings; 

these are six- to eightfoot 

trees. It should be a 

lot of fun.”

Skip a beat 

St. Teresa students put their heart into awareness campaign 

Colin Dewar 

Ask any kid who they think 

a hero is and they will 

probably say Batman, Superman 

or the increasingly 

popular Ironman, but Mary 

Russell, a Grade 4 teacher at 

St. Teresa Catholic School 

wants kids to believe they 

can be heroes. 

“A hero is someone who 

makes a difference,” said 

Russell. “I want the kids 

to know that one child is 

capable of making a difference 

in the world.” 

Since April, Russell has 

been travelling around the 

region to different schools 

with her skipping demonstration 

team to promote 

the Heart and Stroke Jump 

Rope for Heart. Encouraging 

students to participate 

in their school’s jump rope 

event and raise money for 

the charity. 

“We go to schools to in- 

spire other children,” said 

Russell. “When they see 

our kids doing the tricks, 

being active, they just want 

to join in – that’s what it is 

all about, getting active and 

raising pledges for the Heart 

and Stroke foundation.” 

Russell’s team, made up 

of 33 students from Grades 

4 to 8, perform a variety of 

tricks to the delight of their 

audience. 

The reaction from students 

at A.R. Kaufman 

Public School, for instance, 

was deafening when the 

skipping troupe began their 

show May. 6. Starting with 

a partner trick that saw 

three skippers and only two 

ropes the students were 

memorized by the display of 

talent in front of them. 

Combining tricks with 

partners and long ropes is the 

key to entertaining students 

at the schools they visit said 

Stephanie Richaritsch, a

Grade 6 team member. 

“We all work hard and 

try to inspire kids at other 

schools,” said Richaritsch. 

“If they see us skipping and 

having fun they’ll want to 

do it too.” 

It takes skill and commitment 

from the students 

on the team, said Russell. 

Every team member has to 

have a good sense of balance, 

endurance and skipping 

ability. 

“We practice twice a 

week,” said Julia Jajkowska- 

Sherwood, a Grade 6 team 

member. “First we learn 

about speed and timing and 

then we learn the tricks. It 

takes a while to learn the 

tricks, but it’s all for fun.” 

Russell hopes that her 

“ambassadors” are helping 

to promote a healthy lifestyle 

to school-aged children. 

“It doesn’t matter who you 

are or how old you are, you 

can make a change,” Rus-

Kaufman School. 

One of the most inspiring 

moments during the skipping 

presentation comes in 

the form of Natalie Bean, 

a Grade 6 student suffering 

from a heart condition herself. 

Bean performs in many 

of the tricks during the 

show, never losing a step. 

“Natalie has had over 25 

operations on her heart,” 

said Russell. “She is a part 

of our team, and skips with 

the best of them.” 

This is the sixth year 

Russell has coached the 

skipping team and is still inspired 

by her students year 

after year. 

“I have a great group and 

we all want to encourage 

children to be active and be 

aware that they can make a 

difference in someone else’s 

life by raising money for 

charities like the Heart and 

Stroke.”

> Small bridge 

slated for work 

> Woolwich seeks 

gas revenues 

NEWS 

Woolwich hopes spending $14,000 

could help it save more than $100,000. 

It’s something of a gamble, however, as 

the money destined for load testing on 

a small bridge on the dead-end portion 

of New Jerusalem Road could still 

show major work is needed. 

Councillors approved the expenditure 

this week in conjunction with 

awarding a contract to K. Smart Associates 

for an additional $33,000 for 

engineering design services in relation 

to the bridge, known as structure 

#240129. 

Director of engineering and planning 

Dan Kennaley said the bridge 

requires work, with just how much being 

determined by the load testing. The 

township has budgeted $300,000 for 

the overhaul, but hopes to save large 

amounts if the structure is more sound 

than the current 10-tonne load limit 

suggests. 

Rising fuel prices mean a big jump in 

HST revenues from the sale of gasoline 

and diesel, and Ontario municipalities 

want a piece of the action, calling on 

the province to provide a portion of revenues 

to fund infrastructure projects. 

Joining the fray, Woolwich council 

this week backed a motion from the 

City of Mississauga calling for a new 

predictable funding mechanism to provide 

stable funding to maintain and rehabilitate 

transportation infrastructure. 

> Woolwich extends 

St. Jacobs VIC lease 

The “yellow house” in St. Jacobs 

will be the face of tourism services in 

Woolwich again in 2012, as council this 

week agreed to another one-year lease 

on the building, home to the visitor information 

centre. 

The St. Jacobs VIC was opened on 

a trial basis in 2005 and expanded in 

2006. The new deal with Mercedes 

Corp. continues the dollar-a-year arrangement 

for the refurbished farm 

home at 844 Weber St. N. adjacent to 

the farmers’ market. The VIC is open 

seven days a week from mid-May to 

mid-October, but staffed only on Tuesdays, 

Thursdays and weekends. 

The most-requested information includes 

driving tours of the area, West 

Montrose and the covered bridge, 

Mennonite farms, and St. Jacobs' market 

and village areas.

Cubs have a wet and wild weekend 

BOMBS AWAY More than 20 Elmira Cubs participated in the Central Escarpment Cubboree at Camp Everton near Rockwood May 7. The 

day-long event of activities, crafts and sport was turned into a weekend campout for the pack including night hikes, campfi res and hosts of 

other activities to enjoy the outdoors. The Elmira Cubs regular meetings will wind down the year at the end of May. 

Old Elmira pool facility sold to synchro club 

Waterloo organization to call Elmira home in September 

Steve Kannon 

The old Elmira pool, 

idle since the opening 

of the Woolwich 

Memorial Centre in 

2009, will once again 

be fi lled with aquatic 

activities: it’s to be the 

new home of the Waterloo 

Regional Synchronized 

Swimming Club 

(WRSSC). 

In a deal that closes 

May 30, the organization 

has purchased the 

building from Woolwich 

Township for 

$450,000. It plans to be 

operating in Elmira by 

Sept. 1. 

The facility is more 

than twice the size of 

the group’s current 

location in Waterloo, 

its home for the past 

18 years. Already the 

largest synchronized 

swimming club in the 

province, it continues 

to grow. 

“We’re full. We need 

to expand,” said Leanne 

McDonnell, 

McHappy for 

Kate's Kause 

C'MON GET MCHAPPY 

Amanda Withers, an employee at 

the Elmira McDonalds, fi lls bags 

of popcorn for McHappy Day on 

May 11. This is the 18th year 

the restaurant chain has held 

the event and to date has raised 

more than $32 million for the 

Ronald McDonald House charity. 

Half of the proceeds from the 

local event went to Kate’s Kause, 

which is raising money to build 

an accessible playground in the 

community. 

WRSSC’s program coordinator, 

noting the 

move is the culmination 

of two years of 

searching for a new 

space. “We had been 

looking at locations in 

Waterloo … coming up 

with nothing. “People 

started telling us maybe 

we needed to think 

about Elmira.” 

Rather than buying 

a piece of commercial 

land – in short supply 

and often very expensive 

in Waterloo – and 

then building from 

scratch, the club has a 

ready-made facility in 

the former public pool. 

It will need extensive 

renovations, however. 

That work is expected 

to get underway shortly, 

with contractors already 

taking stock of 

the work to be done. 

Along with new galleries, 

there are plans 

for a dry-land training 

facilities, weight room 

and offi ces. The building 

will be used seven 

days a week solely for 

synchronized swimming, 

she explained. 

“We really need the 

space,” said McDonnell, 

adding the club 

has almost 150 members, 

with teams competing 

at the local, provincial 

and national 

levels. “Our members 

are very excited about 

this.” 

As the largest club 

in Ontario – and the 

top one in nine of the 

last 10 years – WRSSC 

draws members from 

a sizeable distance, including 

the GTA and 

Guelph to go along 

with participants from 

Kitchener, Waterloo 

and the townships. 

This sale brings to 

three the number of 

larger surplus township 

properties sold, including 

a former gravel 

pit in Maryhill and the 

old Floradale fi re station 

on Ruggles Road. 

Director of recreation 

and facilities Larry De- 

vitt said Woolwich is 

still looking for buyers 

for the old administration 

buildings in Elmira 

and Conestogo. 

Money from the sale 

of all surplus properties 

– including some 

small pieces of land 

such as old road allowances 

– is earmarked 

for the township’s recently 

completed major 

capital building program, 

which saw some 

$35 million used for the 

Woolwich Memorial 

Centre, a new administration 

building and a 

new fi re station in Floradale, 

among others. 

Mayor Todd Cowan, 

who announced the 

sale at a council meeting 

May 10, said afterwards 

he’s happy the 

building will continue 

to be used as an aquatic 

facility. There had been 

some interest from a 

developer, with plans 

to tear it down and use 

the land for residential 

lots.

On the outside looking in … again 

> General fee 

review, no group 

favourites 

Reversing course, Woolwich 

councillors this week decided 

there will be no special treatment 

for Woolwich Minor 

Hockey as the township reviews 

rates at the Woolwich 

Memorial Centre. 

At the previous week’s meeting, 

council leaned in favour of 

helping the organization as it 

faces an additional $12,000 

in ice rental fees this year. The 

township will continue to review 

its rates and subsidies for 

minor sports, but in the context 

of all user groups, councillors 

stressed May 10. 

“I don’t think changing the 

subsidy for one group is the 

right way to go,” said Coun. 

Julie-Anne Herteis. 

“We need to work with our 

staff … not kneejerk reactions 

at council meetings,” added 

Coun. Mark Bauman, arguing 

in favour of a level playing field 

for all groups. 

In a related discussion, director 

of recreation and facilities 

Larry Devitt was asked why 

soccer groups face double-digit 

fee increases when the target 

was three per cent. 

Pointing to complaints about 

poor field maintenance, he said 

the extra fees are needed to 

improve the quality.

Vocal environmental critic Alan Marshall gets the hook from CPAC 

Steve Kannon 

Scratch Alan Marshall 

from the list of CPAC 

members. Even before 

the new committee has 

met, the outspoken critic 

of Chemtura Co. has 

been given the boot, 

labelled as uncooperative. 

It’s the second 

time he’s been removed 

from the committee. 

Woolwich councillors 

made the move this 

week in response to a 

series of emails and 

blog postings in which 

Marshall bemoaned 

the lack of action from 

the Chemtura Public 

Advisory Committee. 

The watchdog group 

has been idle since last 

fall, and hasn’t even arranged 

its first meeting 

under the current term 

of council. 

Marshall was one of 

six members appointed 

just last month to a revamped 

committee following 

new terms of 

reference and an overhaul 

promised by Mayor 

Todd Cowan. 

After Tuesday night’s 

decision, Cowan said 

he’s been cautioned 

about re-appointing 

Marshall to CPAC, but 

hoped Marshall’s extensive 

knowledge of 

the longstanding environment 

issues would 

trump his sharp criticisms 

of the process. 

This is familiar 

ground for Marshall, 

who was kicked off 

CPAC three years ago 

for often unfiltered 

comments. For now, he 

plans to continue as he 

did following the 2008 

decision by remaining 

involved as a vocal activist 

for a cleaner environment 

in Elmira. 

Marshall, who appeared 

before council 

Tuesday, said he 

heard shortly before 

his presentation that 

council was looking 

to remove him due to 

his complaints about 

“unreasonable delays” 

in organizing a CPAC 

meeting and his plans 

to address council, 

even though it was as a 

private citizen only. 

In speaking to coun- 

cillors, he urged the 

township to move 

quickly to appoint two 

CPAC members to a 

committee looking at 

Chemtura’s bid for 

reverification under 

the Responsible Care 

program of the Chemistry 

Industry Association 

of Canada (formerly 

the Canadian 

Chemical Producers’ 

Association). 

“This reverification 

is a huge deal for Chemtura, 

and they indeed 

failed multiple times 

in the late 90s and early 

2000s to achieve it. 

A significant part of 

those failures were the 

lack of a proper and 

open relationship with 

the community,” he 

told councillors, arguing 

the company will 

be more cooperative 

while vying to regain 

its verification as a responsible 

operator. 

Coupled with a provincial 

election set for 

the fall, the timing is 

ideal to push for a cleanup 

of dioxins on the 

site, the remains of pre-

“The Ontario government

to actually remove

discussion later in the 

meeting involved his

While Bauman questioned 

Marshall’s 

“people skills,” Marshall 

later said he’s 

guilty only of “wearing

Although grateful for 

being reappointed to

“call a spade a spade” 

in calling out council 

for its inaction. 

“Something is horribly

There’s no reasonable 

explanation for what’s 

happening … for what’s

said Wednesday. 

Although he intends

predicted he’d call it

term of CPAC expires. 

“I’ve been doing 

this for 22 years. “I’m 

done. I’m finished. I’ve 

done my duty,” he said.

PIB relaunches collective walkathon 

Colin Dewar 

There are going to be 

a lot more people hitting 

the pavement over 

the next six weeks. 

Elmira’s Programmed 

Insurance 

Brokers (PIB) has started 

its second six-week 

walkathon for its 200 

employees. The fi rst 

walkathon was held 

four years ago. 

“This is the perfect 

time of year to launch 

our walkathon,” said 

Heather Aguira, chair 

of the wellness committee 

at PIB. “Walking 

is something that 

is so easy to do and our 

program is very easy to 

stick with and as long 

as you make it a part of 

your daily routine it is 

a hard habit to break.” 

The overall goal for 

PIB employees is 10,000 

steps a day which is 

equivalent of walking 

10 kilometres. 

Every employee was 

given a pedometer and 

a log book to keep track 

of daily walks. 

“If everyone makes 

the effort and walks 

either in the morning, 

lunch or evening their 

steps will really add 

up,” said Aguira. 

Every employee has 

been assigned to one 

of the 25 teams with 

the incentive of winning 

weekly prizes. 

As an additional incentive 

each week the 

committee will choose

a destination city and 

will fi nd out the number 

of kilometres that 

city is away from PIB. 

The committee has determined 

that it takes 

1,000 steps to walk a 

kilometre so if an employee’s 

total steps for 

the week match the distance 

from PIB to the 

destination city their 

name will be put into a 

draw. 

“It is an easy way to 

help our walkers visualize 

the distance that 

they will walk and it 

should act as a motivator 

as each week it will 

get more challenging as 

the cities become further 

away.” 

The fi rst week’s destination 

city is Guelph 

which is 30 km from 

PIB and Aguria expects 

that everyone involved 

will be able to walk that 

distance as it breaks

Aguira had tips for 

making the walkathon 

more comfortable. 

“Stay hydrated, taking 

a couple of mouthfuls 

of water every 

10 minutes should be 

enough to keep you hydrated 

while you walk.” 

Aguria also said to 

start the marathon by 

walking for a short 

time and gradually extend 

outings. A start 

time of 15 minutes in 

the fi rst week and increasing 

that by fi ve 

minutes every week 

will help walkers by 

creating a weekly goal 

and help them stay motivated. 

The company encourages 

everyone participating 

to make their 

walk a workout, to stay 

active and be as healthy 

as possible.

Fraser Institute report card puts EDSS atop regional list 

But school board offi cials dismiss rankings as providing an incomplete picture 

Steve Kannon 

EDSS is the highestranked 

high school 

in the region, tied for 

34th overall in Ontario, 

in rankings released 

this week by the Fraser 

Institute. The Waterloo 

Region District School 

Board’s other rural secondary 

school, Waterloo-Oxford, 

was 145th 

of 727. 

EDSS received a 

grade of 8.2 out of 10, 

tied with Sir John A. 

Macdonald Secondary 

School in Waterloo. Waterloo-Oxford 

earned a 

score of 7.4. 

The report card format 

uses indicators 

such as success in standardized 

exams and 

graduation rates to as- 

sess each school. The 

Fraser Institute says 

its report cards provide 

parents with a simpleto-use, 

objective tool 

to judge trends in academic 

performance. 

“By displaying individual 

school results 

for the past fi ve years, 

the report card offers 

a ‘motion picture’ indicating 

whether a 

school has improved 

or declined over time. 

The idea is that every 

school is capable of 

improvement, and that 

everybody should have 

easy access to clear, 

up-to-date information 

about the performance 

of schools provincewide,” 

said Michael 

Thomas, Fraser Institute 

associate director 

of school performance 

studies and co-author 

of the Report Card on 

Ontario’s Secondary 

Schools 2011. 

The report fi nds that 

a reduction in the percentage 

of secondary 

school exams scoring 

below the provincial 

standard over the 

past fi ve years, dropping 

to 26.9 per cent 

in 2009/2010 from 29.3 

per cent in 2005/2006. 

“This is a promising 

trend for Ontario 

schools,” Thomas said. 

“But with more than a 

quarter of exams still 

falling below the provincial 

standard, there 

is room for academic 

improvement across 

the province. Our report

VERBATIM 

If we are to truly address our national debt, 

we will all have to tighten our belts and make 

sacrifi ces - even the most wealthy and powerful 

among us. The Big 5 oil companies have 

made nearly $1-trillion in profi ts in the last 

decade - and more than $30-billion of that in 

the fi rst three months of this year alone. 

> U.S. Senators Robert Menendez and Harry Reid introduce a bill to 

eliminate $21 billion in subsidies for oil companies 

THE MONITOR 

Membership in registered pension plans 

(RPPs) in Canada edged up 0.2% in 2009 

to nearly 6,024,000. This was the slowest rate 

of growth in four years.The entire increase 

came from the public sector, where RPP 

membership rose 2.6% to 3,026,400. In the 

private sector, the number of members fell 

2.1% to 2,997,300. 

Rising gasoline prices are nothing but profi t 

Feel like you’re getting gouged at 

the pumps today? You are. 

According to calculations by the 

Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, 

you’re paying about 30 

cents a litre more than is justified 

given the cost of crude oil and the 

strength of the Canadian dollar, 

among other factors. That’s pure 

excess profit. 

The CCPA’s online “Gas Gouge 

Meter” measures in real time the 

difference between current retail 

prices in 20 cities in Canada and 

what would be a normal price, 

based on current crude oil prices, 

current exchange rates and normal 

profit margins for gasoline 

refining, distribution and marketing. 

It should come as no surprise 

we’re being fleeced, as evidenced 

by another round of record profits 

in the oil industry. 

Studies by economist and CCPA 

research associate Hugh Mackenzie 

track the price of gas since the 

spikes following Hurricane Katrina 

in 2005. It shows Canadians 

are providing oil companies with 

millions of dollars in excess profits. 

Since that time, prices have 

consistently exceeded levels that 

would be justified on the basis of 

costs and normal profit margins. 

Every penny per litre generates 

an additional $1 million for the oil 

and gas industry every day from 

gasoline sales alone, Mackenzie 

reports. 

We were shocked by the price 

spikes of $1.30 and $1.40 per litre, 

but prices have since hit that 

level again – fluctuating wildly 

this week – without a commensurate 

hike in crude oil costs. But 

a precedent was set at that point, 

pushing the price of gas past the 

psychological barrier of $1.00 per 

litre. Prices that would have been 

off the charts just a couple of 

years ago are the new normal. 

“Canadians are rightfully skeptical 

about the gas price increase 

stories peddled by the industry 

and its apologists. The stories are 

too obviously tailored to fit the 

circumstances.” 

When gasoline prices go up, oil 

companies blame a host of reasons, 

some of them clear and others 

“patently ridiculous,” but always 

maintain that their margins 

are slim. They never reveal the 

extra profits tied to price hikes. 

At the beginning of the manufacturing 

chain, the price of 

crude oil – those daily reports of 

fluctuations the world market, 

measured in U.S. dollars per barrel. 

Here, too, massive profits have 

been the story, the CCPA reports.

for our gas tanks costs no more to 

produce today than it did when 

gasoline was 30, 40, 50 cents a 

litre cheaper. You don’t have to do 

much math to see how that translates 

into fat profits. 

Taking a whack at the industry’s 

habit of scapegoating government 

taxes, the CCPA also points 

out taxes have little to do with the 

price spiking we’ve seen. Except 

for the GST, provincial and federal 

taxes on gasoline are all flat 

amounts per litre. Even with all of 

today’s taxes, the cost of crude oil 

and other factors, the CCPA calculates 

gasoline should be selling for 

about 1.09 cents per litre. Everything 

above that is more gravy. 

The lion’s share of the increases 

go to the oil companies; with the 

gouging going on, the lion is growing 

fat on consumers driven like 

sheep to the pumps.

Bin Laden’s death a good excuse to get out of Afghanistan 

With a single bound, our hero was 

free,” as writers of pulp fi ction used 

to say when they saved their hero from 

some implausible but inescapable peril. 

Barack Obama could now free himself 

from Afghanistan with a single bound, 

if he had the nerve. 

The death of Osama bin Laden, founder 

of al-Qaeda, matters little in practical 

terms, but Obama could use it as a 

means of defl ating the grossly exaggerated 

“terrorist threat” that legitimizes 

the bloated American security establishment. 

He could also use it to escape from 

the war in Afghanistan. 

If he acted in the next few months, 

while his success in killing the terroristin-chief 

still makes him politically 

unassailable on military matters, he 

could start moving U.S. troops out of 

Afghanistan, and even begin to cut the 

Homeland Security Department down to 

size. His political enemies would accuse 

him of being “soft on defence,” but right 

now the accusation would not stick. 

The Homeland Security Department’s 

reason for being is the “terrorist threat.” 

Drive home the point that bin Laden is 

dead, and that there has been no terrorist 

attack in the West at even one-fi ftieth 

the scale of the 9/11 attacks for the past 

fi ve years, and its budget becomes very 

vulnerable. 

Obama promised in 2009 that the fi rst 

of the 30,000 extra U.S. troops he sent to 

Afghanistan in that year will be withdrawn 

this July. It would be harder to get 

the remaining 70,000 American troops 

and the 50,000 other foreign troops out – 

but it is now within his reach. 

Since it is politically impossible for a 

U.S. president to acknowledge military 

defeat, for half a century the default 

method for extracting American troops 

from lost wars has been to “declare a 

victory and leave.” It was pioneered by 

THE VIEW FROM HERE 

International 

Aff airs 

GWYNNE DYER 

Henry Kissinger in the Vietnam era, it 

worked for the junior Bush in Iraq, and 

Obama could use it to get out of Afghanistan. 

It just has to look like a victory of 

sorts until one or two years after all the 

American troops are gone, so that when 

the roof falls in it no longer looks like 

the Americans’ fault. Kissinger talked 

about the need for a “decent interval” 

between the departure of U.S. troops and 

whatever disasters might ensue in Vietnam, 

and the concept applies equally to 

Obama and Afghanistan. 

The case for getting Western troops 

out of Afghanistan now rests on three 

arguments. Firstly, that the Taliban, 

the Islamist radicals who governed the 

country until 2001 and are now fi ghting 

Western troops there, were never 

America’s enemies. Al-Qaeda (which 

was almost entirely Arab in those days) 

abused their hospitality by planning its 

attacks in Afghanistan, but no Afghan 

has ever been involved in a terrorist attack 

against the West. 

Secondly, the Taliban never controlled 

the minority areas of the country even 

during their fi ve years in power, so why 

assume that they will conquer the whole 

country if Western troops leave? President 

Hamid Karzai’s deeply corrupt 

and widely hated government would 

certainly fall, but Afghanistan’s future 

would probably be decided, as usual, by 

a combination of fi ghting and bargaining 

between the major ethnic groups. 

And thirdly, Western troops will obvi- 

ously leave eventually. Whether they 

leave sooner or later, roughly the same 

events will happen after they go. Those 

events are unlikely to pose a threat to 

the security of any Western country – so 

why not leave now, and spare some tens 

of thousands of lives? 

This last argument is of course 

disputed by the U.S. military, who insist 

(as soldiers usually do) that victory is 

attainable if they are only given enough 

resources and time. But Karzai’s government 

is beyond salvage, and this 

month’s strikingly successful Taliban 

attacks in Kandahar city discredit the 

claim that pro-government forces are 

“making progress” in “restoring security.” 

Western armies have fought dozens of 

wars in the Third World since the European 

empires began to collapse 60 years 

ago, and they lost almost every one. The 

local nationalists (who sometimes calling 

themselves Marxists or Islamists) 

cannot beat the foreign armies in open 

battle, but they can go on fi ghting longer 

and take far higher casualties. 

Afghanistan fi ts the model. When a 

delegation from Central Asia visited 

a U.S. base in Afghanistan, one of the 

delegates was a former Soviet general 

who had fought in Afghanistan during 

the Soviet occupation in the 1980s. He 

listened patiently as eager young American 

offi cers explained how new technology 

and a new emphasis on “winning 

hearts and minds” would defeat the 

insurgency. 

Finally his patience snapped. “We 

tried all that when we were here and it 

didn’t work then, so why should it work 

now?” he asked. Answer: it won’t.

Obama a chance to leave Afghanistan

OPINION 12 THE OBSERVER » Saturday, May 14, 2011 

Things heat up at CPAC even before fi rst meeting 

The newly-appointed Chemtura Public 

Advisory Committee has yet to 

meet, but Alan Marshall has already 

been shown the door. It’s déjà vu all 

over again for Marshall, who was 

turfed from the committee in 2008 by 

the previous council. 

Three years apart, the decision was 

made for the same reason: Marshall’s 

unfi ltered comments. 

As Coun. Mark Bauman noted at 

this week’s council meeting, Marshall 

has unparalleled knowledge of 

the environmental contaminants in 

Elmira’s soil and groundwater, but 

his people skills leave something to be 

desired. Quite simply, his enthusiasm 

for the cause leaves him no time for 

the niceties, especially when he feels 

the process is being stymied by what 

he refers to as BS and baffl egab. 

In fact, his references to such on his 

Elmira Advocate blog are partly what 

landed him back in the doghouse 

again this week. 

His removal from CPAC is unfortunate, 

if not overly surprising 

– though it comes much earlier 

than anyone might have expected. 

If slightly less zealous, he could be a 

catalyst for some real action from a 

committee that has been more lapdog 

than watchdog. In Marshall’s case, 

however, a pit bull may be too much. 

Originally formed 20 years ago in 

response to the contaminants found 

in Elmira’s aquifers courtesy of 

what was then Uniroyal Chemical, 

the committee’s efforts have largely 

become perfunctory in recent years. 

The company, later rebranded Crompton 

and now Chemtura, has been 

working away at remediating the 

groundwater under the town. The 

work is supposed to be done by 2028, 

but it’s unlikely we’ll be switching 

back from water piped in from Waterloo, 

at least not in the foreseeable 

future. In that light, the monitoring 

function is less pressing. 

In subsequent years, CPAC tackled 

a broader range of issues related to 

the Chemtura plant, including odour 

complaints, which it tackled vigorously. 

Those problems have largely

without humiliation. Just wait a 

couple of months to guard against 

the improbable contingency of a big 

terrorist revenge attack, and then 

start bringing the troops home. Once 

gone away, thanks in part to a pushback 

from the community. Increasingly, 

the committee’s work has been 

more technical in nature, removed 

from the watchdog role. In fact, many 

of the newcomers to Elmira seem 

unaware of the committee, its work 

and history. 

In his election campaign, new 

mayor Todd Cowan spoke of a new 

role for CPAC, planning to change the 

committee and its structure. He saw 

an expanded role, especially after the 

release of the compound BLE 25 last 

September drew little response from 

it. Earlier this year, he did introduce 

new terms of reference, eventually 

appointing all-new members, except 

for Marshall, who returned after a 

forced absence of three years. 

Marshall has always been something 

of a thorn in the side of the 

company (Uniroyal/Crompton/ 

Chemtura), its consultants (Conestoga-Rovers 

and Associates) and the 

Ministry of the Environment. He 

speaks his mind, making many people 

uncomfortable. It’s a useful role, 

calling a spade a spade as he notes 

elsewhere in the paper this week. But, 

adamant about his opinions, he often 

shows little patience with those who 

are not as focused on the issues as he 

is: that is, everybody else. 

Convinced of the urgency of the 

situation, what he sees as a lack of 

resolve from offi cials and his own 

ideas for solving the problems, he 

can’t grasp why there’s been no action. 

The wheels grind far too slowly 

for the Alan Marshall’s of the world. 

Frustrated, he speaks out. Or lashes 

out, as the case may be. 

In some cases his comments are justifi 

ed. But in a committee structure, 

blunt talk, blame and name-calling 

lead to disharmony. The simple solu- 

the Taliban are convinced that he is 

really leaving, they would probably 

even give him a “decent interval.” 

Will this actually happen? Probably 

not, for in terms of domestic U.S. politics 

it would be a gamble, and Barack 

Obama is not a gambler.

tion – this week and three years go 

– is to remove Marshall from the mix. 

That’s not to say, however, that there’s 

no place for some s**t-disturbing. 

CPAC, like Woolwich council itself, 

can be too civil, too eager to be agreeable, 

too quick to defer to experts. 

As I noted following Marshall’s 

dismissal from CPAC in 2008, there is 

a tendency for “civilian” members of 

an organization to defer to experts. 

It’s precisely this kind of deference 

that sets Marshall off, and he wants 

no part of it. The truth, he says, 

should trump other considerations. 

That, of course, has not endeared 

him to many. Certainly Chemtura 

and the ministry representatives 

aren’t the least bit partial to his tactics. 

Even among the other residents 

serving on CPAC, not everyone has 

warm feelings. It’s very Canadian not

LETTER TO THE EDITOR 

Animal control bylaw 

gets it wrong 

To the Editor, 

Again Woolwich council has shut 

down the sale of exotic animals at 

the stockyards, as locals cannot own 

some of the animals they sell. I agree 

that not everyone should be able to 

buy them (and non-exotics, for that 

matter). 

Now the problem is that law still 

has so many holes. There are three 

sections in the bylaw that are "fi ctional" 

animals and there are many more 

poisonous and venomous animals 

that are not excluded. I have owned 

sharks and stingrays here in town 

and have been public about it. As 

any judge smarter than a 5th grader 

will know that sharks are fi sh, and 

no mention of them under an offi cial 

whale (mammal) ban will change 

that. 

The K-W Humane Society is great 

with dogs and cats, but has little experience 

outside of that. They listed 

several reasons for not wanting to 

allow the sale: permits and disease to 

livestock were their biggest concerns. 

Yet the only animals they gave exemption 

to still be sold were the only ones 

that required permits and the ones 

that carried the most communicable 

diseases to livestock. The reason? 

They didn't know about these exotics. 

The K-W Humane Society gave me

NEW 

lized discussion to the kind of accusatory 

tones Marshall often directs at 

the company. 

Although he’s been at it for more 

than two decades, Marshall seems no 

less driven by the issue. Nor is he less 

suspicious about the process. It’s the 

kind of attitude that won’t win you 

many friends. 

Although he’s been shown the door, 

Marshall will undoubtedly continue 

to attend meetings – they’ll have to 

start again eventually – and to offer 

up his take on the situation. In or out 

of CPAC, he holds no punches, even 

those well off the mark. 

Cowan, this bit of drama behind 

him, still has to get the committee going 

again. He says CPAC had become 

tired as formerly constituted. With 

this week’s decision, it seems he’s 

aiming somewhere between boring 

and over-the-top, Alan Marshall-style. 

a blanket exemption from Kitchener 

and Waterloo animal restrictions 

when I lived there. I advised them to 

call me if they ever had any exotics 

taken in. I was also on the contact 

list for the Toronto Humane Society. 

To date I have never had an email 

sent, despite not advising them that I 

moved. I used to live only a few blocks 

from the K-W headquarters, so I fi nd 

it hard to understand why they keep 

referring to this "growing problem" 

of abandoned exotics. I have educated 

the local humane society on some 

animals they thought were dangerous, 

but are in fact not – this because, 

again, they didn't know about exotics. 

I have moved a few times and 

always research the bylaws where I 

move to. This exact same bylaw has 

been duplicated in township after 

township. Someone with limited 

knowledge of animals petitions the 

local council to pass it, and as most 

councillors would have limited knowledge 

of animals and accept it as is. 

I have seen enough claims and laws 

tossed out by judges in the years to 

know that a few wrong wordings can 

invalidate an entire law. I also know 

that there are people like me who can 

move into Elmira and bring a very 

dangerous animal to town with immunity. 

For people writing the laws 

they could look at animal experts as 

enemies. Maybe they should be consulting 

us to be their best friends.

“Our goal is to teach first,

Conciliatory spirit may spark national food policy 

Have you moved on from the federal 

election? I haven’t. I’m still 

overwhelmed by the results and I 

haven’t seen anything happen over 

the past two weeks that indicates 

change, other than the usual expose 

of surprise finishers, such as successful 

NDP candidate Ruth llen 

Brosseau, who had never even set 

foot in “her” riding until Wednesday. 

Now, did factors such as attack ads 

help her win against the other dominant 

parties? xperts say attack ads 

work. We know Brosseau didn’t win 

because of a tireless door-to-door 

campaign, or her familiarity with 

her constituents, or her expertise in 

French, or her long service record 

to the community. So maybe attack 

ads had something to do with it. 

Attack ads don’t work for me. 

They make me want to attack them. 

I believe they reflect the worst human 

qualities. Visitors to this country 

watching attack ads would think 

we really despise each other. I don’t 

think we do. But every few years, 

whenever an election comes up, we 

buy into this hatred and maliciousness. 

Blech. 

Those aren’t Canadian values, and 

they’re certainly not rural values. 

And thankfully, for the most part, 

while federal campaign organizers 

were sharpening their fangs and 

spitting blood at each other, candidates 

in rural Ontario were taking a

different tact. 

Ontario Federation of Agriculture 

president Bette Jean Crews says she 

sensed a conciliatory tone and open 

mindedness among rural candidates 

this year. She says regardless of 

their political stripes, they seem 

committed to working together on 

at least a couple of fronts. 

First, they know the will exists 

across Canada for the creation of 

a national food policy. ach party, 

as well as several special interest 

groups, has some version of a food 

policy, or a vision for it. Some include 

farms. Others emphasize the 

environment. And still others deal 

with educating consumers. 

A government truly and democratically 

representing the national 

interests of the country will gather 

these assorted policy documents, try 

to find the commonality and then, 

in an inclusive, transparent way, 

create a policy that everyone can 

rally around. It will underline how 

a country too dependent on imports 

is at risk. 

But, according to Crews, it will 

also bring focus to another matter 

that seems to particularly resonate

A Mennonite financial cooperative

with rural Canadians (perhaps 

because they’re closest to the land) 

– that is, well over a million people 

around the world are hungry, more 

than that are poor and the retail 

cost of food is rising. So is the cost 

of producing it. As an exporting 

nation that, despite embarrassingly 

mean political attack ads, has a 

sense of morality, we need to create 

a food policy that strengthens farmers’ 

ability to feed Canadians and 

others. 

Of course, feeding others is only 

part of the answer to world hunger – 

helping them feed themselves is the 

other part. That’s why a food policy 

needs to also support research into 

vital food-related matters. What we 

learn domestically through research 

can help address global concerns

There’s even an opportunity for 

kids to get in on the action – gaining 

an early appreciation for good food 

– as The Culinary Studio will offer 

four camps over the summer aimed 

at those seven to 13. There, the young 

participants will make healthy, tasty 

snacks from scratch, including granola 

bars and muffins, and learning 

the basics such as chopping vegetables. 

Outside of teaching mode, Herb- Herbstreit 

and O’Malley focus on the 

cooking at their uropean uropean Satur- Saturday 

night dinners, what’s billed as a 

multi-course communal, full service 

dining experience. With room for up 

to 22 at their harvest table, the dinners 

feature a menu drawing on local, 

in-season ingredients put to use 

in gourmet recipes from around the 

globe. Guest chefs, local farmer and 

food producers may take part to discuss 

all things food. 

“Those Saturday nights are a 

chance for Jody and me to be chefs, 

without the teaching,” said Herbstreit. 

“We’ll be bringing in other chefs 

that we’ve worked with over the 

years: you want to support the local 

community and talent.”

A sense of urgency surrounds this 

matter, and Crews believes that with 

a four-year federal mandate, there’s 

time to reach consensus and do it 

right. 

Farmers should be front and

creation. Recognizing agriculture’s 

importance to the economy, 

the province asked the federation 

to take a lead role in discussions 

among all sectors for the Open For

farm production insurance program 

that’s being widely lauded in Ontario. 

Could farmers also take a lead in 

helping coordinate the national food

Retirement as a 

canoe trip 

Elora woman’s new book 

focuses on the changes that 

come with leaving the workforce 

Colin Dewar 

Did you know people spend 

more time planning a twoweek 

vacation than they 

do on a 25-year retirement 

plan?” asks Donna McCaw, 

author of the new book, ‘It’s 

your Time – Information 

and Exercises To Get You 

Ready For a Great Retirement.’ 

McCaw, who retired 

eight years ago after 

a career in education, 

is a speaker and 

workshop presenter 

on retirement readiness 

and retirement 

planning for women. 

“When you retire you 

have to figure out who 

you are,” said McCaw, an 

Elora resident. “Our identities 

change, we are no longer 

defined by our jobs and 

our relationships at home 

change as well.” 

McCaw said people plan- 

ning to retire or have recently 

retired have to renegotiate 

the relationships 

they have with their partners. 

“You have to figure out 

what you mean to each other 

and how to spend more 

time with each other 

since you both will be in 

the house at the same time.” 

The book covers many 

facets of retirement, not 

just the financial burden 

that other books on the topic 

deal with. 

McCaw writes about the 

emotional issues people 

may have moving from 

the work world to the 

world of retirement. 

“Retiring without a 

plan is just like Wile 

E. Coyote when he 

runs off the edge of 

the cliff – you have no 

idea what life will be 

like.” 

For McCaw, retirees 

must focus on how their 

lives are changing. No longer 

being a part of the social 

network at their former 

place of employment can be 

a difficult transition. 

“You have to ask ‘who am

be this time? How am I contributing 

to society?’”said 

McCaw. “Through the book, 

you learn how other retirees 

re-vocate, relocate and 

re-generate.” 

According to McCaw 

there are three stages of retirement: 

Go Go, Slow Go, 

No Go. 

“When someone retires 

they are full of energy, they 

go on vacations, start gardening, 

doing house repairs, 

it’s a very active stage,” said 

McCaw. “As they age they 

slow down and sometimes 

don’t feel like going out as 

much and sooner or later 

they are no longer active 

because of health issues or 

immobility.” 

The wildcard is a person’s 

health, which determines 

how successful their retirement 

will be. The book 

covers the top health issues 

affecting both men and 

women and how to prevent

or manage them and how to 

deal with the financial considerations 

of healthcare. 

“It’s all about finding the 

right balance in your life.” 

McCaw recommends retirees 

do some research for 

themselves including reading 

other books and websites. 

“You have to take responsibility 

for your own retirement. 

You need to see the 

picture: just like a jigsaw 

puzzle box, you have to 

know where you are going 

to lay all your pieces.” 

McCaw said that her book 

is a simple, practical, accessible 

and interactive guide 

to retirement. Successful 

retirees approach their retirement 

the way an experienced 

outdoors person 

plans a safe yet exciting 

canoe trip. Like that canoeist, 

retirees should overprepare 

and then go with 

the flow.

Lady Lancers 

post convincing 

rugby win 

Girls happy to get out and play after poor 

conditions scuttles much of the season 

Colin Dewar 

It was speed versus strength 

during the EDSS girls’ rugby 

game against the Jacob 

Hespeler Hawks on Monday, 

with the Lancers running 

circles around their opponents. 

The big win, 41-17, gave the 

Lancers a much needed boost 

of confidence after losing 

their first two regular season 

games. A typical season sees 

six games for the Lancers but 

because of wet weather conditions 

and poor fields to play 

on the season has been cut in 

half. 

“This was our first home 

game of the season,” said 

coach Tyler McIntyre. “I’m 

glad we got a game win at 

home because all the girls’ 

friends could see them play, 

that’s what they strived for 

ever since training began in 

February.” 

Victory in rough game-four 

set the stage for Sugar Kings 

Colin Dewar 

Talk to people around the 

Dan Snyder Arena and the 

one thing they will tell you is 

that the Elmira Sugar Kings 

are gritty and they get the job 

done. 

The battle for the Sutherland 

Cup between Kings and 

the Niagara Falls Canucks 

turned vicious Thursday 

night with hard checks and 

scrums after the whistle. 

The Kings never backed 

down from the older, larger 

Canucks. 

“That was probably the 

most physical game of the series,” 

said Kings coach Geoff 

Haddaway. “We are fine with 

The Lancers opened strong 

scoring three unanswered 

tries, two from Tracy Weber 

and one from Vanessa Lachance. 

Lachance would continue 

to dominate the Hawks 

throughout the game, finding 

holes in the backs and racking 

up 14 points for the Lancers. 

“We have the speed and saw 

the openings in their team 

and knew how to run through 

them,” said Lachance. 

She credits coach McIntyre 

with keeping the girls spirits 

up and training them in the 

school hallways. 

“Our backs, speed and endurance 

were there, it’s a 

consequence of being inside 

and the girls did a great job 

of their training and that is 

what led them to get the win 

today,” said McIntyre. 

> SEE RUGBY ON PG. 24 

that, it doesn’t bother us.” 

Elmira opened the scoring 

with two goals just two minutes 

apart in the first from 

forwards Andrew Smith at 

5:51 and Brad Kraus at 7:45, 

both on power plays. 

The Canucks answered 

back with just over a minute 

of play left in the period from 

a goal off the stick of Kyle 

Steckley. 

The second period was all 

Elmira but saw both teams 

in the penalty box with only 

the Kings capitalizing on a 

power play when Josh Mac- 

Donald beat Canucks goalie 

Cody Vinnai. A second goal 

by Elmira defenceman Cory 

Genovese padded their lead

to 4-1. 

Opening the third period 

with a comfortable 

lead against the Canucks it 

seemed the Kings had the 

game at hand. 

But the Canucks came at 

the Kings with a sense of 

purpose; it seemed that they 

were determined not to go 

home with a loss. 

The Canucks rallied and 

scored two goals by Dustin 

Scott and David Grant in the 

third keeping the pressure 

on the Kings defence and 

goaltender Nick Horrigan for 

most of the period. 

“We sort of sat back a little

Callum Johnson scored the 

lone goal as the Elmira 

Lancers took out the KCI 

Raiders 1-0 in their final regular 

season game at home 

Tuesday. 

Johnson scored in the 

opening minutes of the 

game when a cross came 

over and was misjudged by 

Raiders goalkeeper Jen Morgan. 

Slipping pass Morgan, 

Johnson tipped the ball into 

the net. 

With neither team fully 

dominating the midfield the 

game seemed more like a 

tennis match as the ball was 

kicked from one end to the 

other for the remaining 80 

minutes. 

An overly physical game 

saw the Lancers being 

pushed around by the older, 

more physical Raiders. 

“We have a lot of Grade 9 

kids on the team this year 

and they are not used to playing 

older, stronger guys,” 

said coach John Swatridge 

of the Lancers. “I don’t mind 

the physical, I just don’t like 

the dirty and there were a 

few dirty plays out there.” 

Both teams were warned 

by the referee for their pushing 

and dirty tackles, which 

eventually saw three yellow

Living by the lake, there's no cause for alarm 

Not-So-Great 

Outdoorsman 

Steve Galea 

There are times when I am firmly 

convinced that technology is 

redundant. One of those times is 

at the crack of dawn, on any day, 

on the lake where I live. Then, you 

truly don’t need an alarm clock. 

The one I use was set to 7 a.m. 

today, but, as usual, various 

locals who felt I had already slept 

enough woke me long before then. 

There were songbirds, crows, 

ravens, ducks and frogs but the 

most vocal of these was that family 

of loons. Contrary to popular 

belief, loons are lousy neighbours. 

I once read a story about outdoorsmen 

who considered shooting 

loons a satisfying sport and 

for the life of me never understood 

why. Now I know – it was 

because they were camping for 

several consecutive nights by a 

loon-infested lake. Sleep deprivation, 

black flies and smores are a 

deadly combination. 

I now completely understand 

how the situation developed. 

On the first night, they probably 

thought that the call of the 

loon was the epitome of wildness 

– a sweet serenade that soothes 

the soul and eases the various 

stresses collected by trying to find 

a rock-free spot on the Canadian 

Shield to lay your bed roll down 

upon. 

They probably even commented 

on how lucky they were to hear 

the call, since it is non-existent in 

the city. 

Kings: Big stop was key 


bit in the third and took a couple of discipline penalties,” 

said Haddaway. “You get to this situation, 

this point in the year, the emotions are really high 

and sometimes mistakes are made. We weren’t at 

our best tonight but our goalie was.” 

Horrigan had to be sharp, stopping 40 of 43 shots 

on the night. 

During the dying seconds of the third it looked 

as if the Canucks would tie the game and send it 

into overtime. 

The puck bounced onto the stick of Canucks forward 

Dustin Scott who was in front of an open net. 

This would be the tying goal but then something 

happened, Horrigan who was on the other side of 

the net managed to get his 6’3” frame across the 

crease and block the shot. 

“That save at the end of the game was the save 

of the year,” said Haddaway. “We were fortunate 

that if you were going to have one player have his 

best game that it is your goaltender. He gave us a 

chance to win.” 

Horrigan admits he had a lot of luck on that play. 

The 4-3 victory allowed Elmira to take a 3-1 lead 

in the best-of-seven Ontario Junior B championship 

series, setting up the game-five win in Niagara 

Falls that brought the Sutherland Cup back to 

Elmira for the first time in a decade. 

By night two, the charm had 

probably worn off just a bit. 

I’m guessing by about night four 

they were keeping loaded shotguns 

by their sides and hoping 

that a loon or two would decide to 

fish near camp. 

I’m not exactly of that mind, 

but I do wish that loons would be 

a bit more considerate of others. 

These, after all, are the birds that 

wake up the roosters. 

There are times when they 

serenade my window at about 3 

a.m. when, just after I have bolted 

upright, I wonder what the #$#! 

could possibly be so urgent at this 

time of night? 

No doubt they are saying something 

like, “Hey Benny, I’ve found 

a school of minnows!” Or “Don’t 

dive here! The rocks will dull 

your bill.” 

Really? Couldn’t this wait until 

morning? Do you have to yell this 

across the lake? 

Believe me, I have nothing other 

than this against loons. Once, in 

fact, I rescued one that landed on 

the wet blacktop of a road in the 

middle of a rainy night. 

My buddy and I were driving 

along when we came upon the 

hapless creature that could not 

take off because loons need a running 

start in water to do so. There 

it sat on the yellow line feeling a 

bit sheepish, I bet. It wasn’t calling 

any of its friends either. No, 

this is the kind of moment that 

every loon keeps to itself. 

Luckily, we were near the lake 

and so, I got out of the truck, and 

approached the loon who rather 

than seeing me as a friend, decided 

I was an enemy who he should 

impale repeatedly. 

In the end, I threw a coat over it 

and carried to a dock where I re-

By the way, this is the surest way

McIntyre said he knows 

his team needs to improve 

especially when it comes to 

wrecking and kicks. 

“Our forwards have to 

work as a real cohesive group 

and we have to work on our 

wrecking, we have good tackles 

we just have to make sure 

we can wreck and win the 

wrecks if they get a breakaway 

run.” 

As for kicking, McIntyre 

said it was not his main focus 

this season. With the bad 

weather this season the girls 

could not practice outdoors. 

“I’d love to get the two 

points but they won’t let us

agreed weather has been a

“It is very tough to prepare 

a team this year with the field 

conditions, not being able to 

practice on grass, it’s tough 

to keep the girls motivated, 

this has been a very odd year

Soccer: After abbreviated season, team 

has to get ready in short order for playoffs 


cards given to players from 

both teams. 

“These kids are getting 

ready for playoffs and they 

are intense, which means 

they may be getting a little 

too physical but that happens 

– they want to win,” 

said Robert Anagnostopoulos, 

coach for the Raiders. 

The win gave the young 

Elmira team a boost of confidence 

heading into the playoff 

tournament on Thursday. 

“We have to be more confident 

and more aggressive on 

the ball, we really just have 

to start moving to the ball,” 

said Swatridge. “I’d like 

them to be less linear and 

use the crosses. Our successes 

come from the crosses.” 

Lancer goalie Patrick 

Paquin had an impressive 

game to earn the shutout. 

“It was a tough game and 

I could see that our defense 

needs to be a bit more aggressive 

and tighter as a 

unit,” said Paquin. “Overall 

I think we played very well 

and I may have been lucky a 

few times today.” 

Luck was on Paquin’s side 

as twice the Raiders beat 

him only to hit the outside

Spirituals and hymns the focus in fundraising concert Saturday at Floradale Mennonite Church 

Steve Kannon 

performance in Florad- 

A ale Saturday offers up a 

change of pace for the Menno 

Singers … and those 

in the audience, who’ll be 

invited to sing along at 

points. 

With “Lift Every Voice 

and Sing – Songs of Longing 

and Home,” the choral 

group shifts from the likes 

to Mozart and Bach to the 

spirituals of the U.S. South. 

The concert, a fundraiser 

for MennoHomes, takes its 

inspiration from the significant 

African American 

hymn or anthem of the 

same name. The hymn – 

arranged for this concert 

by trumpet player Randy 

Brown – was written by 

John Rosamund Johnson 

in 1921 to express the longings 

and deep desires of a 

people for liberty, justice 

and a true home. 

“This is going to be a 

lot of fun. The focus is on 

black gospel music and 

spirituals,” said Mark 

Diller Harder, co-president 

of Menno Singers and the 

guest conductor for today’s 

concert at Floradale Mennonite 

Church. “It’s something 

lighter, more fun for 

a broader audience.” 

Rather than the classics, 

most of the music for this 

concert comes out of the

SONGS OF THE SOUTH The Menno Singers perform tonight 

(Saturday) at the Floradale Mennonite Church in a fundraiser for 

MennoHomes, which provides affordable housing to those in need. 

The 45-voice choir will be joined by musical guests, including tenor 

Brandon Leis (inset). 

experience of blacks in the 

U.S. There are traditional 

and contemporary spirituals, 

black gospel, hymns 

and songs that come from 

the African tradition. 

The composers, however, 

come from many traditions, 

Diller Harder explained. 

On the set list are some of 

the earliest spirituals written 

for the broader choral 

scene, including “Soon-ah 

will be done” (1934) by African 

American composer 

William Dawson, “My God 

is a Rock”(1963) by Anglo- 

American arrangers Alice 

Parker and Robert Shaw 

and three spirituals from 

“A Child of our Time” 

(1941) written by English 

composer Michael Tippett. 

The concert 

will feature the 

Menno Singers’ 

45-voice 

choir, both 

a cappella 

and with a 

band that includesCharlene 

Nafziger 

(piano), Linden Gossen 

(percussion) and Randy 

Brown (trumpet). They will 

be joined at points by tenor 

Brandon Leis. 

In addition to taking in 

the sounds, audience members 

should be prepared to 

be in good voice, as their 

will be a participatory portion 

to the show. 

“It’s a concert, and it’s 

also a hymn sing,” said 

Diller Harder. 

“There’ll be songs that they 

know or songs they can 

pick up easily.” 

All proceeds from the 

concert will go to Menno- 

Homes, thanks to sponsors 

who have picked up all 

costs, he added. Along with 

ticket sales, the group will 

be collecting donations. 

MennoHomes started in 

2001 as a part of the Mennonite 

Central Committee. 

The organization’s goal for 

its 10-year anniversary is 

to have built 100 affordable 

rental units for low-income 

families, seniors, and people 

with disabilities by the 

end of this year. Projects 

number 99 and 

100 are slated to be 

built in Elmira. Two 

sizeable homes will 

be built to accommodate 

large families – 

“It can be difficult for 

families with eight or 

nine children or more 

to find housing.” 

MennoHomes has 

secured a lot on Centre 

Street, near Church 

Street, and expects to begin 

construction this summer. 

Similar to its build 

in Wellesley in 2009, the 

organization will be looking 

for church and community 

groups to get involved. 

The home building class at 

Elmira District Secondary 

School has already signed 

on to help with the project. 

The Menno Singers’ 

“Lift Every Voice and 

Sing – Songs of Longing 

and Home” concert 

takes to the stage at 

Floradale Mennonite 

Church tonight (May 14) 

at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 

($5 children/students). The
