The Little Native Hockey League (Little NHL) will be celebrating its 41st anniversary in the Nickel City in March 2012. Marvin Assinewai, president of the Little NHL Executive Committee, made the announcement at the Sudbury Arena during the 2011 tournament event this past March.

The 2012 host of the Little NHL is Sagamok Anishnawbek First Nation and the theme for the tourney will be "Let's Play Together".

"We all are eagerly anticipating the 41st Annual Little Native Hockey League tournament being held in the City of Greater Sudbury next year," Assinewai said, "On behalf of the LNHL Executive Committee, we look forward to this annual celebration of the sport of hockey for our First Nations youth from across Ontario."

The Little Native Hockey League tournament is the longest running minor hockey tournament of its kind in Ontario. The first inter-reserve hockey tournament was held in 1971 in Little Current, Ontario and was hosted by the three founding community First Nations; Whitefish River First Nation, Aundeck Omni Kaning First Nation and M'Chigeeng First Nation.

The Little Native Hockey League began with a modest 17 teams and 200 players and has grown to over 120 teams and over 2000 players. Giving back to our community has always been a significant part of our rich history as people, said Chief Paul Eshkakogan. As we celebrate the 41st anniversary of the Little Native Hockey League, we are proud to continue that tradition and partner with many wonderful organizations that are making a positive impact in the lives of thousands of young people throughout the province of Ontario. The intent of the Little NHL has played an important part in getting children active, bringing together large populations of youth from communities and cultures, and has encouraged long lasting relationships. In addition to the game of hockey this year, we will be working with the international program Right to Play to deliver youth empowerment workshops. We hope that this year's Little NHL exceeds expectations.

"We are looking forward to hosting this fantastic event again in 2012," Meredith Armstrong, acting manager of Tourism and Culture for the City of Greater Sudbury, said. "Sudbury Tourism partners, local businesses, committee members and City staff have worked hard to bring the Little NHL tournament to Greater Sudbury for another year. This is one of the largest events that we host and we are proud to welcome and support this tournament."

The tournament will take place in Greater Sudbury from March 11 to March 15, 2012, at various arenas throughout the city. Come out and enjoy top-notch hockey action from tyke to midget in both girls' and boys' categories.

Welcome to the Sudbury Police Youth Dirt Riders (SPYDR). This summer for seven weeks you’ll learn mountain bike skills on different trails throughout the city of Sudbury. Groups of six boys will be lead by two IPMBA (International Police Mountain Bike Association) certified police officers.

4-H represents a "learn to do by doing" model of experiencing life skills and project skills. With its roots originating in agriculture, our Club could not pass up the opportunity to spend time with Brenda Verdiel and Berni Picco, the founders of Whinnying in Life (www.whinnyinginlife.com). "We are very busy with various programs" states Brenda, owner of the farm. The 4-H Club will be training until June at which time the members will show at the Warren Fair. This summer Verdiel Farms will be hosting ICAN-CERD (Independence Centre and Network) and participating in many events including the opening show for the Rodeo at the Belanger Grounds and the Camp Quality Circus Theme." The 4-H members, ages 9-21, will learn the basics of horsemanship and driving with Berni Picco. The Club will be helping to socialize the horses for the Special Needs Programs.

Dear Ontario Volunteer Centres,

We are very pleased to share with you an announcement from the Ministry of Education regarding a revision to the Community Involvement Graduation Requirement. Please see the attached PDF.

Effective July 1, 2011, students will be able to start accumulating community involvement hours in the summer before they enter grade 9. This change acknowledges the enthusiasm of some students, with support from their parents, to be involved in their community prior to entering secondary school.

This announcement is a result of conversations that the Ontario Volunteer Centre Network (OVCN) Steering Committee has had directly with the Ministry. We hope that you share in our excitement about the opportunities that this will open up for youth in the province of Ontario. Please do share this announcement with your team at your centre, especially those who are co-ordinating the ChangeTheWorld - Ontario Youth Volunteer Challenge as this will have an effect on next year's campaign.

Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us directly.

Walden cadets right on target

Three members of the Walden Irish Regiment cadets are headed to Quebec in March to take part in the national biathlon competition. From left, Alex Shea, Jennifer Hull, Ryan Pritchard, ski coach, and Nick Bouchard. Photo by Laurel Myers

Jennifer Hull has only been doing biathlon for one year, but she’s already on her way to the nationals.

“Last year when I talked to my coach, it was my goal, but I had always put it as a dream goal,” she said. “But when you have a dream, you chase it, right, and that’s what I did.”

Hull and two of her teammates with the Walden Irish Regiment cadet corps — Alex Shea and Nick Bouchard — are heading off to Val Cartier, Que., March 7 to 12, to compete at the cadet national championships.

At the provincial competition, held Feb. 12-13 in Sault Ste. Marie, Hull took the gold medal in the individual youth women category, and a silver with her relay team.

“It feels pretty amazing,” the 17-year-old Lockerby Composite student said. “I’ve accomplished so much through training and skiing and finding myself. I found skiing just brought out my personality and helped me.”

She said the competition at the provincial level “was totally different than the local qualifier.

“Everybody was a skier. Everybody was a shooter. It was pretty much the best in Ontario and whoever raised to the occasion is the people who moved on.”

She said she’s looking forward to proving herself at the nationals.

“I just want to prove to people who I am because I’ve pretty much come out of the dark. I want to make my corps proud.”

Although he’s been doing biathlon for the past three years, this year was Shea’s first trip to provincials.

“…I’m really proud of these kids. They’ve worked hard and they achieved what I expected them to achieve.” Jim Lochschmidt, Commanding Officer, Walden Irish Regiment

“Before, I just wasn’t having good races,” he said. “I wasn’t shooting that well. I wasn’t doing as well as I could have. I didn’t train.”

Now, the team captain said he’s training every day for about two hours. And it’s paid off. At 15, the Sacré-Coeur student is the youngest boy on Team Ontario’s senior squad — the grouping goes to age 19.

“My category is pretty intense,” he said.

He said his goal is to make the top five at the national competition, and hopefully hit the podium.

At 14, Nick Bouchard is the youngest of the trio. He has been doing biathlon for three years and has competed at provincials every year so far. This is his first trip to nationals and he said it feels pretty good.

“I’ve been waiting for this for a while,” the Lively District Secondary student said.

Bouchard won a bronze medal in the junior boys’ category at the provincial competition. He said he has worked on developing his skiing technique and the accuracy of his shooting in order to crack the national roster this year. He also said having been there twice before helped him prepare mentally and physically for this year’s competition.

Ryan Pritchard has been coaching the skiing portion of the biathlon for the Walden cadets for the past eight years. He said the team is a young one this year.

“We lost a lot of our senior competitors last year, so we’re in a rebuilding phase,” he said. “There’s a lot of juniors this year, and normally the juniors don’t make it to nationals for their first year, but this year one of them (Nick) did, which is pretty outstanding.”

The team is made up of 18 athletes from across Ontario. Along with the three Walden cadets, the northern Ontario area accounts for half of the team.

“We have the best facilities,” Pritchard said. “The ski trails are right across the street and we have the Crane Hill shooting range only 25 minutes away. That allows us to have more shooting practices than a lot of the other cadet corps.”

The ski coach said he is expecting some podium finishes from the three athletes.

“Especially in the senior categories,” he said. “In the juniors, anything within the top 10 would be great.”

Making it to the nationals is a bit of tradition with the Walden cadet corps. The walls in the office where the cadets train is plastered with plaques from the local, provincial and national level.

“Since 1994, this corps has won more gold medals than any other province,” Commanding Officer Jim Lochschmidt said.

Lochschmidt has been teaching the cadets how to shoot since 1988 and said he has noticed a considerable improvement in Hull, Shea and Bouchard over the past year.

“I always tell the kids, they’re good skiers, but when it comes to biathlon, shooting is sometimes more important than your skiing,” he said. “You can be an average skier, but if you’re a good shot, you can really do well.”
He said if they all stay focused, they will all be in medal contention.

“I’m really proud of these kids. They’ve worked hard and they achieved what I expected them to achieve. You can’t ask for anything more than what these kids give me. They go out and do their thing and they win.”

Launch of Local Young adult Novel Swampy jo to be Featured as Part of National Culture Days

As part of Canada’s Culture Days, Laurentian University’s LUminaries Reading Series and Scrivener Press are proud to present the launch of Jennifer Rouse Barbeau’s novel, Swampy Jo, Friday, September 24 at 6:30 p.m., Grand Ciel Bleu (Bookstore) Librairie du Nouvel-Ontario, 93 Durham Street, Sudbury.

Anorexia, suicide, a brave imagination and an absurd world: Swampy Jo brings a wry smile to Young Adult fiction.

How do you find the truth when the adults in your life are crazy? This is the dilemma of fourteen-year-old Sarah Joanne Bradley – alias Swampy Jo. Swampy Jo is a heroic tale of a young girl setting aside her personal need to disappear, in order to save the life of a brooding love interest – because she is the only one aware that he needs saving. Puberty and love aren’t easy when you’re navigating a minefield of secrets in your divorced, formerly upper-middle class family, while the adults in your life hinge their hopes on religious superstitions and palm reading.

Jennifer Rouse Barbeau is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto, and is now a professor of Advertising–Creative Media at Canadore College in North Bay. She lives in Sturgeon Falls. Barbeau has published a number of short stories, including "Grumble" in the 2006 YSP anthology Bluffs: Northeastern Ontario Stories from the Edge. She illustrated La Laineuse by Rachel Desaulniers (Le Centre FORA, 2006). She has been also been a panelist and guest speaker at Sudbury’s Words in the Wilderness Literary Festival, sharing from her experience as a writer. Swampy Jo is her first novel.

Doors will open at Grand Ciel Bleu Librairie du Nouvel-Ontario, 93 Durham Street, on Friday, September 24 at 6:30 P.M. with readings from the author beginning at 7:00 P.M. The launch will be followed by book sales and signing, along with an open mic for local writers to share their work. Readings will be limited, so please register at the door. Admission is free of charge.

This event is organized by Laurentian University’s LUminaries Reading Series, Scrivener Press and Miriam H. Harrison (Sudbury Hypergraphic Society; The Ontario Poetry Society; Sudbury Writers’ Guild). Culture Days is a collaborative national movement to raise the awareness, accessibility, participation and engagement of all Canadians in their local arts communities. This event also follows the release of Mark Dunn’s new book, Ghost Music (Buschek Books) on Thursday, September 23, 7:00 – 9:30 at the Main Branch Library, 74 Mackenzie Street, as part of a two-day celebration of local talent.

For more information, please contact Miriam H. Harrison at (705) 698-7834 or by email at miriam.harrison@gmail.com. Also see the Swampy Jo page on the Scrivener Press website: www.scrivenerpress.com

Naughton army cadets preparing for national championship

Mar 10, 2010

By: Sudbury Northern Life Staff
Naughton army cadets Keely Mirka, John Colwell, and Michael Lochschmidt are among the 18 regional biathlon champions gearing up for a trip east to represent Ontario's Central Region in the 2010 National Cadet Biathlon Championship.

The four members of 2964 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps depart March 13 for CFB Valcartier, Que. for the week-long meet, competing against cadet teams from across Canada.

The cadets will compete individually in cross-country skiing races up to eight kilometres long. Three times during each race, the participants enter the rifle range for five rounds of prone rifle marksmanship. Later in the week, male and female three-member teams will compete in 16-kilometer relay races, including two bouts of five-to-eight rounds of prone marksmanship for each member.

Biathlon couples the rigorous sport of cross-country skiing with the mental and physical discipline required for small-bore rifle marksmanship. Marksmanship and biathlon are two of the more popular activities for sea, army, and air cadets.

The Canadian cadet program is Canada's premier national youth organization for boys and girls aged 12-18, sponsored by the Department of National Defense/Canadian Forces in partnership with the civilian Navy, Army Cadet and Air Cadet Leagues of Canada. There is no cost to join and uniforms are provided.

The Corps was founded on March 1, 1979, by Commanding Officer, Captain A.K. Chaloux. Captain Chaloux guided the Corps, until October 1986, at which time she was succeeded, by Captain M.J. Holouka, who commanded the Corps until 1989. Command of the 2964 Walden Irish alternated between Captain Carol Lochschmidt and Captain Jim Lochschmidt for 18 years, until 2007. The Corps was commanded by Captain Sheri Penney -from 2007 to 2008. Captain Jim Lochschmidt resumed command of the Corps in January 2009.

Throughout the years, the Cadets of the Walden Irish have won many awards for individual and team accomplishments. The most prestigious and highest achievement, The Clarry Award for Best Army Cadet Corps in Ontario, has been awarded to the 2964 Walden Irish in 1989, 1991, and 1996. The Cadets were proud to be awarded the 2008-2009 Maddox Trophy for Top Small Army Cadet Corps in Ontario.

The Strathcona Award, presented to the Top Army Cadet Corps in Northern Ontario Central Section, has been awarded to the 2964 Walden Irish Army Cadet Corps, 16 of the past 23 years. The Corps was awarded the trophy again for the 2008-2009 training period.

The Corps has received many other awards, such as Top Biathlon Corps in Northern Ontario Area, The Strathacona Award for Top Shooting Corps in Northern Ontario Section, Ontario Rifle Association Competition winner, Drill with Arms, and Army Challenge winners.

The above credentials confirm the versatility of our Cadets, who also perform Community Service for their respective schools, the Lions Club, the Kinsmen Club, Copper Cliff and Lockerby Legion.

Many hours of training are spent at the Corps, and in the field, learning various options such as drill, drill with arms, army challenge, field craft, bush craft, map and compass, small bore rifle shooting, air rifle, leadership, instructional techniques, public speaking, citizenship, physical fitness, scuba diving, hunter safety & PAL, communications, Standard First Aid & CPR, watercraft and snow machine licensing, photography, year book/scrap booking, participation in formal parades, and opportunities to learn canoe rescue, and guitar lessons.

The Cadets are given an opportunity to learn and play musical instruments with our Pipes and Drums Band, and are trained to fire weapons under very strict supervision.

Each Cadet also has the opportunity to train and represent our Corps, at the Local, Provincial, and National Winter Biathlon competitions. A great deal of training, discipline, and dedication must be afforded by each member of our Biathlon Team in order to qualify for this prestigious sport.

Many of our Cadets have been awarded the opportunity to attend International Exchanges in England, France, Germany, Finland, Korea, Australia, Scotland, Wales, and Canadian Exchanges at Canadian Forces Bases Blackdown and Connaught, in Ontario, and exchanges in Banff, Whitehorse, and the Northwest Territories.

The Walden Irish are proud to host the Annual Remembrance Day Ceremony for the Citizens of Walden, at our Corps, at 1955 Regional Road 55, The Naughton Community Centre.

Good Morning,

I am pleased to announce the Young Community Leaders Project will be holding their first Public Forum on March 14th, 2009 from 1-4pm at the Older Adults Center at the YMCA on Durham. The forum is to get youth to voice their opinions and thoughts about a variety of subjects. We are asking if you know of any youth aged 15 to 30 who would be interested in participating please have them contact me either by phone or email.

The forum will be broken down in two parts. During the first part members of the community have offered to speak about issues affecting youth in the Sudbury area. The second parts will be where the youth will be divided into smaller groups and discuss one of the subjects at hand. The youth will then have the opportunity to display their thoughts.

I will attach the poster for the event to this email. If you have any questions please contact me and I will be more than happy to provide any information.

Have a wonderful day!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EFFECTIVE SPEAKING CHALLENGE 2008 SEEKING PARTICIPANTS

SUDBURY - The Valley East Lions Club is once again hosting the Annual Lions’ Effective Speaking Contest on Saturday April 5th, 2008. The event provides a competitive environment in which French and English students from grades 6-12 compete for cash prizes and the opportunity to advance to provincial levels. Students will be asked to deliver both prepared and impromptu speeches in front of fellow competitors and judges. The all-day event takes place at the Lion’s Den in Hanmer, Ontario, and welcomes students from all over northern Ontario.

“The art of oral communication has taken a backseat to the lure of the Internet. Email, text messaging and sites like Facebook or MySpace are quickly becoming preferred methods of communication, and not just in youth,” says Leanne Tucker, Chairperson for the event. “We need to engage our children in hands-on, face-to-face communication exercises like this one - we’re hoping local teachers and parents will agree and get involved.”

The competition is open to all students in grades six to twelve. There are three categories, Junior (grades 6-8), Intermediate (grades 9-10) and Senior (grades 11-12). First place winners in each category will advance to the Provincials in Toronto in May. Local winners traveling to Toronto will have their expenses paid for by the Lions Club.

“Effective speaking is an important skill to develop and possess, at any age. This competition will help students develop their communication skills, increase their self-confidence levels, and provide them with an opportunity to showcase their talents,” says Tucker. “It’s time to bring oral communication back from behind the shadows of the Internet.”

For more information on how to get your school involved, or to register, please contact Leanne Tucker at (705) 691-1567.

Lively Hawks- 4th Place at ‘A’ OFSAA

Here is a re-cap of our very exciting and successful OFSAA trip!

Notable performances:

Adam and Andre Leblance were unbelievable offensively and defensively, and Andre's jump serve earned us at least 5 ace points nearly every match! Mitch Nyssen played the best tournament of his career, especially in the quarter final against Kapuskasing where he dominated offensively as well in terms of blocks (5 stuff blocks) and kills (5 kills). Nathan Peacock stepped up and was a solid backcourt setter, allowing us to release Mitch as an attacker for 2 rotations. Kyle Patrick did a great job as Libero - playing every position in the backcourt and providing tons of positive momentum for the boys. Trevor Groulx and Mike Spect played their roles as left side hitters well, placing the ball where required, and were great servers: rarely missing a serve all weekend. Chris Jeffkins and Terrance Neil also played their roles as defensive specialist and specialty blocker very well - doing what was required to make a defensive stop when needed.

Tournament Re-Cap:

We entered the tournament ranked 12th of 20 teams (although I requested a top 10 ranking), and our goal at the beginning of the trip was to finish top 10. However, after our first pool match against #5 Woodland Christian, we quickly realized that
rankings meant nothing. Although we lost the match, the boys actually played the WORST volleyball they've played all season (partially due to nerves). Despite this challenge, we only lost the match 2-1, and we knew our work was cut out for us if we
wanted to end up on the Championship side.

After the match, Sean and I sat with the boys and we had a great team meeting - spoke about the futility of nerves and the power of positive communication and momentum. The boys also decided at this meeting that they wanted to leave OFSAA with nothing left - they wanted to leave it all on the court.

So, we entered the match against #18 Beacon Christian with a new attitude - and trounced them 2-0. We then faced a huge challenge: #2 ranked West Elgin. It was very
clear to Sean and I, in the warm up, that West Elgin was taking us lightly. They came in late, barely warmed up, and the looks on their faces showed that they weren't ready for a tough match. The boys also realized this, and pounced - winning the first set 25-14 (a HUGE blowout)! In the second match, West Elgin came ready to play, but we were too far ahead to look back, and won the second set 25-21. We finished off pool play the next morning, defeating #15 Aldershot 2-0 as well.

This put us FIRST in pool 'C (although the #2 and #5 ranked teams were also in our pool), and matched us up against #10 Kapuskasing in the Championship Quarter final. Once again, the boys came out strong, continuing to play the best volleyball of their season, and never let Kap in the match. They won 2-0. We then met #14 Trinity College in the semi-final, which was another team that was seriously mis-ranked. Trinity's offence out of the left side proved to be too much for our defence, and we lost the match 2-0.

This put us in the Bronze medal match against (once again) West Elgin. However, West Elgin knew what we could do, and they were ready to play. The boys played their hearts out, despite being absolutely exhausted at this point in the tournament. We lost the first set 27-25, came back and won the second set 26-24, then lost the third 15-12, although we went point for point until the game reached 12-12.

The referees stated at the end of the match that it was the best game they'd refereed throughout the entire tournament. Although the boys were disappointed to lose the. match, they realized how far we'd come and how far beyond our expectations we’d achieved. We found out at the medal ceremony that OFSAA gives out 4th place medals, so that was great!

We finished the tournament 4th of 20 teams - 8 places above our 12th place ranking entering the tournament!

Thanks again to all the sponsors who made our OFSAA trip possible:

The Rainbow District School Board, Lively District Secondary School, Councilor Jacques Barbeau (City of Greater Sudbury), Patrick Mechanic (Doug Patrick), Carmen Construction (Carmen Fielding), Battistelli's Independent Grocer (Brent Battistelli), Walden Home Hardware, Lively IDA Pharmacy, and Lively Guardian Drugs.

Lively Hawks- No 2006 Record or Statistics!

It’s been 17 years since LDSS put a football team on the gridiron. As expected, the team is keeping goals modest and will look to give established teams a run for their money each game.

The team didn’t hold their first practice until last Friday and have just 6 days to prepare for their first game against powerhouse Lockerby.

The team took a big step forward by naming Gord Goddard the Head Coach. Goddard is the Sudbury Spartans President and former stand out player. He will also be working with John Larsen, who has extensive experience including a season with the Sudbury Northerners in 2006.

The team became a reality due to community support. $22,000 was raised in donations to get the team off the ground. Now all that remains to be seen is if the team can get enough players out to be competitive and not get blown out each contest.

“…The numbers are going in the right direction,” said Jacques Barbeau, team manager. “ We have a great base of players, now we just need more to come out. It’s huge for the community here to have high school football. I might be going out on a limb, but I think we will be competitive. Larsen said he never saw a group of kids that have learned the game so quickly…it’s encouraging. Goddard adds great experience for the kids to learn from.”
