Kawartha Gymnastics: class and dedication Article by Julie Pineo, Photos courtesy of Kawartha Gymnastics Kawartha Gymnastics Club is located in the heart of Peterborough, off Roger Neilson Way, in Morrow Park. Established in 1971, the club is a non-profit organization overseen by a Board of Directors. The club strives to provide the community with a safe, caring environment in which the fundamentals of gymnastics can be taught.

The club runs recreational classes for numerous age groups, from walking toddlers to adults. We also run a very successful competitive program. In addition, the club offers March Break and Summer Camps that offer gymnastics, crafts, activities, special guests, and fun weekly themes. Our club also offers monthly movie nights where children aged four years and up can try gymnastics and enjoy a movie all at the same time! We also rent our gym to various groups, for example, high school gymnastics and cheerleading groups. On average, 300 athletes visit Kawartha Gymnastics’ facility each week.

Our coaches are outstanding! Not only are they very dedicated and highly trained, they focus on providing athletes at our club with the best experience possible.

Members of our Provincial Team attended the Ontario Championships, which were held in Windsor, Ontario from April 9th to 12th.

The girls train for 16 hours a week and are a very dedicated group of athletes. Kawartha Gymnastics Club’s head coach Becky Ansell oversees the Competitive teams with dedication combined with a strong, knowledgeable background in gymnastics.

sportsfiles Hockey, HOPE and Community bring another Gaskell Cup to Life Article by Chad Marshall, Photos by Alison Casey On March 28th, a local charity group called HOPE — Helping Others Participate Equally — put on a three-on-three pond hockey tournament called the Gaskell Cup. The event, now in its fourth year, is an annual tradition that brings together members of Peterborough’s community to raise money for Hospice Peterborough in memory of Kirk Gaskell.

By 7:30 a.m. the Evinrude Centre was hopping, and teams were ready to get the tournament started. During the opening ceremonies, attendees reflected on the memory of Gaskell with a moment of silence. Ed Arnold, HOPE’s honorary captain, dropped the puck at centre ice to kick off the event.

For the entire day, the ice was full of teams playing three-on-three hockey. There were eight teams in the kids’ division and 30 teams in the adult division. Designed to be an inclusive event, players of all skill levels participated. Winners were crowned in each of the four divisions. Although hockey was a key part of the day, the coming together of this great community was palpable throughout the arena.

The Evinrude was packed with activities for every age group. Kids were kept entertained with games and face painting, and adults had chances to bid on amazing silent auction items. They had chances to win a Friendly Fires barbecue smoker, Boots and Hearts tickets, and possibly shoot for a $30,000 vehicle from Russelle Toyota. Ladies even enjoyed time at a spa set up by ME and T Spa. There were line ups to get ready for the after party which kicked off at Spankys and the Next Door Bar.

Throughout the day, Steve Montador’s memory was honoured. Montador died a few weeks prior to the event, but he was a pivotal member of the HOPE team. He personally donated not only his time but fronted some of his own money to get them started. He loved this community and always had charity near to his heart. He is going to be missed, but the team is going to keep his spirit alive in all they do. He was a larger than life personality that energized all who met him, and he always looked for opportunities to give back and help those who were in need.

There was never a dull moment, and as one attendee put it, “I showed up to watch some pond hockey and felt like I walked into a carnival.”

The atmosphere was full of excitement, fun and contribution.

The HOPE team wants to send a big thank you to all the sponsors, attendees, and volunteers who supported the Gaskell Cup. Over 2000 people came in and out of the Evinrude during the event, donating time and/or money for Hospice Peterborough.

Reflecting on the day, it is another amazing example of the power of the community in Peterborough.

The generosity of participants was overwhelming, and the HOPE team is extremely grateful for everyone’s contribution. The final number is still being tallied, but they are optimistic that their goal of $75,000 is within reach.

An official announcement will be made in the near future.

Saints boys capture OFSAA hockey bronze Article by Steve Stanlick, Photo courtesy of St. Peter High School Congratulations to the St. Peter Secondary School Boys Varsity Hockey Team who capped off a successful season by capturing the bronze medal at the 2015 OFSAA Championships in St. Catharines in March.

The coaching staff of Steve Stanlick and Andrew Miller are extremely proud of this dedicated group of Saints, who played with discipline, intensity, passion, and heart. The boys worked hard game in and game out over the long six-month season. Including tryouts and practices, the Saints were on the ice 56 times this season.

With an overall record of 24–8–5, this close-knit group of teammates won St. Peter’s sixth straight COSSA Boys Hockey Championship, defeating Belleville teams from St. Theresa and Centennial by identical 3–0 scores. At OFSAA, over the course of six games, the Saints outscored their opponents 21 to 8, executing their plan of attack to perfection. Working well as a team, the boys played with defensive responsibility

In round robin action, the Saints defeated Holy Trinity from Kanata 5–0, and the eventual silver medalist Abbey Park from Oakville 4–1, while tying North Toronto 1–1 to finish first round. An excellent 5–2 quarter-final win over Notre Dame College from Welland set up the semi-final tilt with eventual gold medalists, St. Brother Andre from Markham.

A heartbreaking 2–1 loss couldn’t stop the boys from fighting for a great 5–2 victory over Brebeuf College from Toronto to take bronze.

Revitalization plans underway at the Kawartha Golf & Country Club Article by Joanne Culley, Photos courtesy of the Kawartha Golf & Country Club Voted one of the top five semi-private courses in Canada by the Canadian Golf Magazine this year*, Kawartha Golf and Country Club has been serving the Greater Peterborough and Kawartha Lakes areas for over 80 years. Their 18-hole course, designed by renowned architect Stanley Thompson, features impeccable course conditions, natural tranquility, and a scenic tree-lined entranceway.

In 2014 KGCC was ranked 18th in the Classic Course Category by GolfWeek Magazine and 13th-Best Course to Play in Canada with Public Access. The course itself features 6,464 yards of pristine landscape and is challenging to even the lowest of handicapped golfers with thousands of century old trees, plenty of bunkers, and water hazards that come into play.

Kevin Greenwood, General Manager, is pleased to announce the club’s new

12

PeterboroughSportsXpress.ca

revitalization project which consists of a new membership structure, upgraded practice facilities, and a new state-of-the-art clubhouse for current and future members.

“Kawartha Golf and Country Club is truly a national quality golf facility with membership options available for all golfers,” says Greenwood. “We’re instituting a forward-thinking membership structure that acknowledges the challenges of time and resources many individuals face today, and yet allows them to become members at a national quality club like Kawartha. At the same time it re-establishes the club as a member-oriented facility with all of the services, amenities, and opportunities that a club member deserves.”

Greenwood says they are reconfiguring their membership structure to appeal to a broad age range, including a younger demographic. There will now be three levels

of membership so that golfers can select the level according to how often they play and the features that are important to them.

Those who perhaps have demanding careers and less leisure time can still take advantage of the club.

The new membership structure has three levels: Level 1 – members will be able to make bookings seven days in advance and unlimited 18-hole rounds Level 2 – members will be able to make bookings five days in advance and play a maximum of 40 18-hole rounds Level 3 – members will be able to make bookings three days in advance and play 20 18-hole rounds

“If you’re looking for a top of the line yet affordable golf experience, whether you’re a low-handicapper who plays regularly, or simply a casual player, we have great options for you,” Greenwood continues.

“We want people to come and see what this hidden gem has to offer, which is quite simply one of the best layouts in Canada.”

Greenwood joined the club in January 2014 and since then has been involved in taking the club to the next level, both with their membership facelift and new building plans. He has an extensive knowledge of the game and with golf course management. His seventeen years of managerial experience include a business background in the financial services industry, and eight years at the Mill Run Golf Club near Uxbridge.

An $8.5 million revitalization plan for the facility is in the works.

A 22.54 acre parcel of land on the southwestern end of the property along Clonsilla Avenue has being sold to fund the project, which includes a new clubhouse, new maintenance facility and the relocation of two holes. The golf holes being displaced will be re-designed

by Stanley Thompson expert architect, Ian Andrew, to retain the original features and history of the course. The new building will cover approximately 25,000 square feet on two levels, and will include a larger banquet hall that will accommodate up to 300 people with a setting and spectacular views that will appeal not only to members; it will also be a premier wedding destination.

There will be a year-round bistro and restaurant with an additional three-season adjoining dining room. To take advantage of the setting, the design includes an outdoor terrace on three sides, with a full, panoramic view of the golf course.

Kawartha Golf and Country’s Club’s Pro Shop is maintained by CPGA Professional Mark Ahrens (2013 Ontario Professional of the Year) and his team. They provide cart rentals, club storage, equipment sales and repair, apparel and accessories sales, and individual or group lessons.

In addition, their junior golf program is second-to-none and sells out year after year.

The club supports many charity tournaments each year, including the Greater Peterborough Chamber of Commerce tournament and the Nexicom James Fund Golf Classic. They are accessible to the public and recognized by their 2014 ranking of “13th Best Course to Play in Canada” for a public golfer. *Top five in the $75-99 Green Fee Category

Kawartha Golf and Country Club is located at 777 Clonsilla Avenue in the heart of Peterborough. For more information, please call 705-743-3737 or visit www.kawarthagolf.ca.

Peterborough Wolverines Football Article by Ken Butcher, Photos by Brad Claypole

The Peterborough Wolverines are looking forward to another successful season in 2015. Our continued success on and off the field comes thanks to the excellent coaching staff we have had each and every year since our inception in 2011, and our army of volunteers who help make our home game day atmosphere at Thomas A Stewart, second to none.

We would like to thank our fans who come out in force whether we are at home or on the road, our parents and players for their continued dedication to the Wolverines and to our sponsors who help keep our organization a reality.

Thank you to all, and here’s to a great 2015. GO WOLVERINES!

History The Peterborough Wolverines Football Club was created in the winter of 2011 and began play that spring and offered an opportunity for young Peterborough-area football players to participate in a high level “Rep” football league. In the winter of 2011, the Wolverines applied to and were accepted to enter a team into the Ontario Football Conference (OFC) for the 2011 spring/ summer season. The Wolverines began with the Bantam team for players aged 13 to 14, then they added a second team, the Junior Varsity group for 15- and 16-year-olds in 2012, and they completed their final entry with a Senior Varsity team, age 17 to 19, in 2013. All three Wolverines teams participated in the 2014 OFC season and look forward to a very successful year in 2015. Our goal remains to win the OFC Championship!

18

PeterboroughSportsXpress.ca

The OFC currently has 18 centres across the province of Ontario making up a very competitive league that provides an excellent opportunity for players to improve their skills and gain experience as they continue to participate in their respective high school and university programs.

The Ontario Football Conference (OFC) is a well-respected “Rep” football league that begins in late May and finishes with the OFC Championships in early August.

The following cities and teams make up the 18-member OFC:

Bantams were the North Division Champions and competed in the OFC finals. In 2013 both the Bantam and Junior Varsity teams were the Ramsey Conference Champions, and in 2014 the Bantams again repeated as the Ramsay Conference Champions. Also, in 2013 our new Senior Varsity team finished with a 6–4 record and a third place finish in the Ramsey Conference. All three Wolverines teams will be top contenders for the OFC title in 2015 and look forward to hosting their opponents on their home field at the TASSS Facility Complex with the artificial turf field.

Play with your food!

cheeses, and hemp. Use real meat, not processed deli meats (unless you can find the “naturals” kinds). Skip things like lunch meats and nitrate-laden hot dogs or packaged meats.

Article by By Erin Bell, Nutritionist/Sports Nutritionist That was a cold winter! It’s time to get outside and play!

Your body could be feeling a little cranky after the hibernation, so having a nutritional plan alongside your game plan is a perfect strategy. Whether your goal is to kick start the soccer season, or you’ve got your sights set on stand up paddle boarding, your body will need the best foods for a winning season of sports.

Take-out for your workout I don’t mean fast food; I mean good food, fast. Here’s a breakdown of why we need each of complex carbohydrates, proteins and fats: Complex carbohydrates: a good source of glucose that your body can use to restore glycogen after an intense game. Glycogen is “fast food” for muscles — essentially it is stored glucose (sugar, the “fuel” kind) made by the liver and stored in fat and muscle tissue. It is the primary source of backup fuel your body uses very rapidly during exercise.

Good sources of complex carbohydrates are fruits, vegetables, and natural grains such as oats, quinoa and brown rice, and beans or legumes. Rather than sugary sports drinks

that are full of high-fructose corn syrup, sugar, and food dye, consider pure whole fruits, water, and coconut water to replenish electrolytes, or pick up a natural electrolyte sports drink mix from your health store. Bright green sports drinks are for aliens only!

Fats: Remember, not all fat is bad fat. Good fats support brain function and reduce inflammatory compounds in the body — especially good after an activity when inflammation can set in, along with lactic acid buildup. This just feels like “ouch”, so add some good fat while you’re burning off the bad. Good fats also provide for sustained long-term fuel, packing in more “energy” for your body than protein and carbs because they are a very concentrated source of energy.

Good picks: bananas, grapefruit, pears, strawberries, apples, power muffins, and crackers made with the above grains, beans and legumes, cucumbers, broccoli and tomatoes, zucchini, sweet potatoes, and green and yellow beans.

Good fat picks: salmon, tuna, flaxseed, olive oil, nuts and seeds, coconut oil blended in a post-game smoothie, nut butters, full-fat yogurt, mozzarella cheese, sliced avocado, shredded coconut, and dark chocolate.

Protein: a slower-burning fuel that helps to balance blood sugar levels to prevent sudden fatigue and energy drops. Your body uses protein last as a fuel source, preferring complex carbs and good fats first for energy.

Protein is mostly used for muscle repair and growth after exercise.

Ready, set, play!

Erin Bell, Nutritionist - Adaptive Health Care Solutions, Peterborough

Best Picks: eggs, yogurt, chicken, fish, seafood, beans and chick peas (hummus), beef, turkey, pork (preferably organic), nuts and seeds, brown and wild rice, quinoa,

(who prefers full-fat dark chocolate as a fuel source) ;)

Migraines and tension headaches in sports Article and Photo by Ian Horseman, B.Sc, D.C

What causes a migraine headache?

Research suggests that migraines have a strong, central brain mechanism known as a genetically linked pervasive disease. This causes hyper-excitation in the brain and a neuro-chemical response resulting in migraines. New studies are looking towards locating the genetic markers that may trigger migraine response. There are many subclasses of migraines that we will not be discussing here, and many individuals who believe that they have migraines are often experiencing a different type of headache, altogether. We often find these to be the pervasive symptom after a sports related concussion.

What causes the hyper-excitation of a migraine?

Migraines occur when joints and muscles, causing an increase in inflammation and pressure, compress the nerves and blood

Lack of oxygenation is a major contributor to migraine pain, and it certainly creates increased hypersensitivity of the brain, as it is starving for oxygen and will not function normally without appropriate levels of it. The actual pain of a migraine headache occurs when the blood vessels expand beyond their normal diameter, stretching the pain receptors in the arteries, known as nociceptors. They expand in response to compression of the arteries at the base of the skull, and like a bag filled with water, the blood is relocated to other blood vessels, often in the back of the skull, temple, and sinus and orbital regions. This manifests as throbbing pain while the blood vessels dilate and constrict.

Because we care about our communities We know there’s more to life than dollars and cents.

There’s passion, endurance, commitment and community.

As part of the community, Investors Group is proud to share in this and all of life’s special moments.

What symptoms to look for?

vessels at the base of the skull. This is a result of aberrant biomechanics in the region where the skull and the spine articulate. This reduces activation to certain regions of the brain, and causes increased excitation to others, resulting in hypersensitivity of the central nervous system.

A major part of treatment is focused around restoring adequate oxygen levels to the blood stream, reducing vaso-dilation response.

Forward head posture and slumped shoulders also contribute to Migraines by causing stress on the neck and upper back. This forces your head into extension, further compressing the area at the base of your skull.

Compression of the rib cage, inhibiting expansion of the lungs, further reduces oxygen and causes vasospasm (blood vessel constriction/dilation) as the brain requires a great amount of oxygen and will sacrifice comfort to achieve that level.

Pain at the base of the skull Pain in the temple region Pain around the eyes and frontal sinus regions (forehead) Jaw pain Neck Pain Upper back/shoulder tension Poor Posture Reduced chest expansion (breathing/ oxygenation) Dizziness/nausea Visual disturbance-temporary loss of vision, zig-zag lines, blurred vision.

At the posture neurology clinic we have discovered a number of therapies that, put together, have made a significant impact for hundreds of patients and athletes with headaches (particularly post-concussion patients).

One such treatment is the SSEP stimulator which aims at stimulation of the 10th cranial nerve (the vagus nerve) in order to “reset” the correct blood flow to the brain through autonomic stimulation.

The SSEP (Somatosensory Evoke Potential) aids with headaches migraines and balance problems. This tool also helps with blood pressure and digestion as it can indirectly stimulate the Vagus nerve responsible for these functions.

Through comprehensive neurological and physical rehab we are able to reduce your brain’s hypersensitivity by balancing input to the central nervous system and retrain your structures to function as they were intended — migraine and headache free.

Are you a concerned athlete, coach, trainer, or parent?

Do you or your athletes suffer from dizziness, headaches, vertigo, nausea, balance issues or light/sound sensitivity?

We are currently accepting athletes and sports teams of all ages for concussion screening, which includes: ≥ A baseline VNG and CAPS test with analysis, advanced cognitive concussion screening. ≥ A secondary assessment to determine after a trauma if a concussion has occurred.

Videonystagmography (VNG): By measuring simple eye movements, the VNG can determine which area of the brain has been affected by a trauma.

Comprehensive Assessment of Postural System (CAPS): The CAP system measures an individual’s balancing ability.

A patient should be able to maintain balance for 30 seconds eyes open and closed within a range 24% from centre.

We have successfully treated: Concussion patients, traumatic brain injuries resulting from motor vehicle accidents (MVA’s), anxiety and depression, chronic headaches, vestibular and balance problems.

Peterborough’s Dragon Boat Festival: Celebrating 15 years of making breast cancer screening, diagnosis and treatment the best it can be at Peterborough Regional Health Centre Article by Alisha Batten Paddles, support, and fun — these are the words that best describe Peterborough’s Dragon Boat Festival. Dragon boat racing has occurred for over 2,000 years, but in 2001 it became much more than a sport when it was embraced by the community of Peterborough and turned into a successful annual fundraising event.

Now, Peterborough’s Dragon Boat Festival supports Peterborough Regional Health Centre’s (PRHC) Breast Assessment Centre, and it has raised more than $2.6 million to date for breast cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment in our region.

According to Carol Mutton, Past Chair of Peterborough’s Dragon Boat Festival, it all started in 2001 when Survivors Abreast introduced dragon boat racing to Peterborough.

“In the fall of 1999, Meredith Cosburn formed the dragon boat team Survivors Abreast — a team for women with a breast cancer diagnosis,” says Mutton. “A breast cancer survivor herself, Cosburn gathered women from Peterborough and the surrounding area for a first paddling

season in the spring of 2000. Together with Len Minty, the team coach, the pair helped to lay the foundation for dragon boating in Peterborough. Cosburn later proposed the idea for Peterborough’s Dragon Boat Festival in order to raise awareness for breast cancer and fundraise for breast cancer detection equipment for PRHC.”

as Toronto or Kingston. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

In the first year of the event, a partnership with the Canadian Canoe Museum and the YMCA helped bring awareness to the three organizations, which ran three separate events that occurred on the same day. The following year Peterborough’s Dragon Boat Festival became a singular event, with more than 50 teams participating and raising over $90,000.

“Peterborough is such a generous community,” says Debbie Keay, current Chair of Peterborough’s Dragon Boat Festival. “This event is something our entire community can feel proud of. By participating, sponsoring and donating to the Festival, you’re helping make sure that women from across our region continue to receive the best cancer screening available.

Thousands of women and their families thank you.”

Flash forward 15 years and the Festival has raised a cumulative total of over $2.6 million, changing the face of breast cancer care in our region. Funding essential cancer diagnostic and treatment equipment, and helping bring life-saving radiation treatment to our community for the first time, the Festival has directly impacted the patient care available at PRHC for the better. In fact, 48,000 life-saving mammograms have been performed on Festival-funded mammography machines since the new hospital opened in 2008. 8,000 mammograms have been reviewed by radiologists using a new state-of-the-art voice recognition system funded in 2013, and 368 cancer patients received radiation treatment closer to home at the new Norm & Jessie Dysart Radiation Centre last year, saving them 3,216 trips to cities as far away

On Saturday, June 13th, the Festival will mark its 15th anniversary at Del Crary Park.

Funds from this year’s event will support the purchase of a new, state-of-the-art 3D mammography machine for PRHC’s Breast Assessment Centre.

Testimonials Peggy Quirion, breast cancer survivor and member of Survivors Abreast “I was diagnosed with breast cancer shortly after moving to Peterborough and joined Survivors Abreast in October 2013 following treatment and recovery.

I remember how warmly the team welcomed me at my first practice at the Trent paddling pool.

“Fast-forward to June 2014, my first experience paddling at our local dragon boat festival. The atmosphere on the day of the festival was euphoric. I felt such joy in my heart and spirit to be part of an event that gives so much back to its community. In turn, the festival has given back to me. It raises my spirit for living a full life, gives me a feeling of exhilaration and makes me inspired to help others. I feel so blessed to be part of Survivors Abreast and the festival. I look forward with excitement to paddling once again, on June 13, 2015! Paddles Up!”

Tamara Lightbody, captain of the Skinny Dippers “The ‘Skinny Dippers’ are one of the original dragon boat teams made up of new and old friends, brought together to have fun and support our local hospital.

We have been together over the past 15 years and the paddlers look forward to

this annual event for the camaraderie and friendly competition. In the past, the Skinny Dippers were motivated to dragon boat in honour of our moms, grandmothers, and aunts, but now we take this paddling thing even more personally.

We dedicate our races to fellow paddlers who have been affected by breast cancer as well as their kids who inspire and cheer them on along the shorelines.”

Debbie Keay, committee chair “My mother is a breast cancer survivor.

She is the reason I got involved with Peterborough’s Dragon Boat Festival 15 years ago. Over the years, I have been a paddler, a volunteer, a committee member and this year I am the Chair of the festival organizing committee. I feel honoured to be part of such an amazing team who work tirelessly to ensure that our community has the state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to ensure the best possible care for patients at the Breast Assessment Centre at PRHC.”

saturday, June 13, 2015 Presented by

“My mother is no longer the only reason I take part in this amazing event — my aunt is a breast cancer survivor. I have a number of friends who have battled, and continue to battle, this terrifying disease.

These women inspire me to do everything I can to try to make a difference. Please help us reach this year’s goal of $215,000 — paddle, volunteer, spectate, donate!”

Whitehouse a force to be reckoned with Article by Don Barrie, Photo courtesy of Peterborough Sports Hall of Fame Washington, D.C. has its famous White House, and in 1923, Peterborough’s Whitehouse was just as revered, locally.

Frank Whitehouse was a pitcher for the local junior baseball team, the Lakeviews. Frank was born in England in 1906 but grew up in Peterborough, learning to throw a baseball on the city’s diamonds.

In the early autumn of 1923, Frank and his junior baseball team were in Ontario Baseball Amateur Association (OBAA) playdowns. Frank was the ace of the pitching corps. In one regular season game he threw every pitch in a 17-inning marathon.

The Lakeviews eliminated Oshawa in the first playoff round. In the second round they faced the Kingston Circle Six. In game one at Riverside Park, Whitehouse struck out seven batters in his seven-hit performance.

Teammate Don McIntyre’s four hits paced the team to a 2–1 victory.

In game two in Kingston, Whitehouse threw another seven-hitter, and the Lakeviews eliminated Kingston with a 10–4 win. The Examiner reporter was very critical of the umpiring in the game, writing, “The umpiring was the worst of the year. His calls were very displeasing to the crowd and they kept hooting him throughout.”

The Lakeviews had more on their minds as they prepared for the Ontario finals against a powerful Niagara Falls team.

The Brantford Alerts, the team Niagara beat in the semi-finals, said they were the heaviest hitting team they had encountered.

The series opened on Saturday, September 22nd, 1923 in Riverside Park, and Whitehouse was the Lakeviews’ starting pitcher. The alert from the Alerts may have encouraged the Peterborough hurler to be more focused, for he threw a no hitter at the

30

PeterboroughSportsXpress.ca

Niagara team in the opening game.

The 8–0 win saw Whitehouse fan 16 Falls’ batters.

He also tossed out three runners and picked off two others on base.

Game two of the Ontario final was played in Niagara Falls on the next Saturday, and the results were somewhat different. The big bats of the Niagara team were unleashed in the mist of the cascading waters. They beat the Lakeviews 15–4. The biggest crowd of the year for Niagara, over 2,000, saw their ace, Orville Smith, down the Peterborough hitters, while his sluggers had little trouble with the Lakeviews’ Whitehouse on this day.

The third and deciding game of the series took place the following Wednesday, October 2, on a neutral diamond in Hamilton. With the roar of the falls no longer ringing in their ears, the Lakeviews found their mojo and won the deciding game and the Ontario title by a score of 11–6.

In the eighth inning, with the game well in hand, Frank Whitehouse’s arm went sour from overwork.

Niagara rallied with the first three batters banging out a triple, single and homerun, and Manager Lew Lebarr was forced to do something he rarely did; he pulled Frank Whitehouse from the game.

Reliever Doug Moore came in and quieted the Niagara bats to preserve the win. The champions

returned to Peterborough by train at 2:00 a.m. Thursday morning and were met at the station by the mayor, William Taylor, who led the team in an impromptu raucous parade up George Street.

Frank Whitehouse pitched the Lakeviews to another OBAA title the next season before taking his talents south of the border. He signed with the Major League’s Baltimore Orioles, and he rose in their organization to the AAA level, playing in Rochester, New York, and Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Frank returned to Peterborough in the mid 1930’s, showing up on the rosters of local teams for some games. He died in 1961.

Frank Whitehouse was inducted into the Peterborough and District Sports Hall of Fame in 1997.

Mohawk that the men feel was the turning point that potentially led to their National Championship. The Fleming men were down 6–0 to Mohawk after two ends and almost all hope was lost, but they rallied back for a 8–7 win, and even though Warham said, “We had lost this one,” when it was 6–0, Helson pointed out that “It (was) not over yet.”

Article by Scott Cherwaty, Photo courtesy of Jane Bolin When the 2014-15 season started for the Fleming Men’s curling team, they were less focused on winning or losing than they were on whether or not there would even be a team. Fleming struggled to field a curling team this year even though they had two very experienced curlers in Skip Jason Whitehill (14 years) and Vice Tyler Warham (12 years), and even Second Keith Helson (7 years) had thrown a few rocks down a sheet of ice, but they needed a lead. Enter Matt Straathot in his first year of playing competitive curling. Alternate Dan Murphy was also there for support and to inspire the men to give their best, and little did he know they would go all the way to the Canadian

Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Championship.

The curlers drew on tonnes of experience from their coach, Steve Whitehill, who brought over three decades of coaching experience to the table.

The men qualified for Nationals in Olds, Alberta, which is approximately 45 minutes from Calgary. The Fleming men started the championships with a rematch against the Sault and came away with an 8–7 victory.

The men went on a roll from there, eventually earning a bye into the finals with a record of 6–1 to face Fanshawe, against whom they had 2–2 season record. Fleming came away with an 8–4 win led by the strong play of Whitehill. Jason’s play earned him a few awards: Fleming Male Athlete of the Year, FIrst All-star at the Nationals and the Provincials, OCAA athlete of the week at Provincials, and CCAA athlete of the week at Nationals. As skip, Whitehill made many excellent shots all year, but he really wanted to make it to Nationals and succeed, and that they did.

Steve Whitehill mentioned that the team started as five individuals and became a team better than any other team he has ever coached. Whitehill being chosen as the CCAA Coach of the Year was the direct result of the team’s success, but he reiterated that everyone contributed to their great achievement.

The team played in two bonspiels, building a record of 5–3, to go along with the team playing a local curling league and earning a 13–7 record. Fleming was given the opportunity to host Provincials at the Peterborough Curling Club.

The team lost to the Sault in the finals, 4–3 on a measurement, but it was game number two versus

Warham summed up things well when he said, “I curled for 12 years; Matt and Keith were eager to learn and put in the time that really helped our success and it was a pleasure to end my college career with a great group of guys.”

POHL celebrates old-timers hockey Article by Bruce MacDonald, President, PROHL 2015 – 16, Photos courtesy of Brian Searle, BDS Visuals The Peterborough Recreational Oldtimers Hockey League (PROHL) is an adult recreational hockey league playing Friday nights at the Kinsmen Arenas in Peterborough from mid-September to mid-March.

Oldtimers Hockey — the First National Oldtimers Hockey Tournament in Peterborough in February 1975. (Exerpt taken from Oldtimers Hockey of Canada website.)

The PROHL is arguably the first and longest running old-timers hockey league in Canada. Now entering its 42nd season, the Peterborough league was founded by John Gouett in the 1973-74 season, with an inaugural six teams and 90 players.

A plaque hangs at the Kinsmen Arenas commemorating the “Original Six” teams and players. John went on to found the Canadian Oldtimers Hockey Association (COHA) in October 1974. This led to the most significant event in the history of

The PROHL celebrated it’s 40 Year Anniversary in the 2013-14 season by honouring the three remaining original participants, Jim Gillogly (player), Greg Marchen (referee), and Mike Girard (referee) with commemorative jerseys. We were especially honoured to have had John Gouett drop the ceremonial puck.

Great Defense...or somebody dropped a Beer Ticket

The PROHL has grown from the original six teams and 90 players to its current size of fourteen teams and 224 players in three Divisions (Junior: ages 35 - 44, Intermediate: ages 45-54, and Senior: ages 55+). With the credo of Fun, Fellowship, and Fair Play, the League is open to players from age 35 to ?. The League hosts players from a variety of backgrounds and hockey abilities, but one common thread unites us all — a love for the game. Games are played Friday nights and start times range from 7:00 p.m. to

10:00 pm on one side and from 7:15 p.m. 9:15 p.m. on the other. After the game, players are welcome to attend the upstairs lounge area, where the Kinsmen Club of Peterborough operates a bar where players can talk about the game they played and learn about the game they actually played from the “Lounge Scouts and Coaches” or watch a game on the three flat screen televisions provided by the Kinsmen Club.

Although we haven’t graduated any players to the NHL (we will let the Petes do that), we can boast the largest per capita of players who watch the NHL!

sportsfiles The Kawartha Komets — much more than just hockey Article by David Fisher

Much has been written about the Kawartha Komets Special Needs Hockey Program. We have just completed our sixth season of play and 50 of our 60 players, their families and our coaches just returned from their Special Hockey International Tournament in Ottawa. Over $30,000 was raised in six months to cover tournament costs so that as many players as possible could enjoy the “tournament experience” at minimal personal cost. But there’s much more to launching and operating a special needs hockey program than what you see on the ice. One of our Kawartha Komets’ parents has captured the essence of our program, and I feel that her insights need to be widely shared.

“As a starting point, when kids and individuals do not have special needs they face significantly lower barriers in participating in “the community” — everything from school, to friendships, sports, art, music and drama. They have a greater sense of accomplishment and success which leads to greater self-esteem and more resilience. Many kids with disabilities have not experienced those successes but rather have experienced repeated failures. They often have few friendships, if any. I believe individuals with “invisible disabilities”, such those on the Autism Spectrum and those with FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder) have greater failures. If you have a visible disability, people “adjust” their expectations quickly.

They have a way of understanding that individual. If your disability is invisible (this includes mental health challenges, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders) people don’t have a way to easily or as

about with pride and a positive sense of accomplishment.

quickly understand that individual. What makes it more challenging for invisible disabilities and for mental health challenges is that neurological issues and mental health issues are often manifested in challenging behaviours. Many kids are often described as having a “cloak of competence”. People see them as more competent than they really are, hence higher expectations are placed on them, which often results in a failure to meet those expectations. Even those individuals with “normal IQ” often have significant functional disabilities.

These functional disabilities make navigating the complexities of life very challenging — everything from interpreting social cues to understanding money and time.

When I go the rink on Saturdays I try to meet and have a real conversation with other parents and caregivers. I’m always amazed at the struggles they’ve had to deal with that week. For some, the situations they face every week just to navigate “life” are greater than the challenges other non-special-needs individuals face over years. Some parents have stated that if they had to get up every morning and face the world through their special needs child’s abilities they would not get out of bed.

Our son has never gotten up on a Saturday morning and not wanted to go and play hockey! It was different on other sports teams. His teammates did not have special needs. Each year we see less and less “acceptance” of our son on those teams; his disability is becoming more noticeable and his isolation from teammates greater.

This is the opposite of what happens when he arrives in the Komets dressing room!”

Family members and caregivers frequently try to help others understand their kids and their needs. Parents feel intense sadness when their kids struggle. We grieve over and over again for “what could have been”.

Gaining more acceptance is the thinking that not only do parents grieve, but so do our children. Depending on their level of awareness, that grief can be profound, and for some kids, that can translate into depression. Many live with severe anxiety and depression every day.

The Kawartha Komets “get it” and are blazing a trail to increased understanding of the unique needs of these incredible athletes. BLAZE KOMETS, BLAZE!

For many of the families and players that come to the Kawartha Komets, it is much more than coming to play hockey. It is about coming to a place of acceptance, support, and understanding, a place where there might, hopefully, be friendships forged, and place where there is more tolerance for differences and less judgment of challenging behaviours. Hopefully it is a place to have fun and do something that they can take away and talk

PCPD launches Active Together project Article and photos by Caitlyn Costello Peterborough’s Council for Persons with Disabilities (CPD) is all about getting “Active Together” these days with the launch of its new project, called Active Together (AT).

Funded by the Government of Ontario through the Ontario Sport and Recreation Community Fund Active Together will run through until March 2016, with the hope of continuing. The goal of the project is to help increase the participation rates and opportunities available for persons with disabilities to be active in sport and recreation in Peterborough City and County.

According to Statistics Canada, approximately 14 percent of individuals in Canada live with a disability, and studies indicate that only three percent of these individuals participate in regular physical activity. This needs to change!

Some new opportunities suiting a range of abilities, which have already been made available through this project are Wheelchair Curling during the Peterborough Curling Club’s Snofest Event, Wheelchair Basketball that is continuing at the Peterborough YMCA, and a Try it Sledge Event in collaboration with the Peterborough Patriots Sports Club. We have more exciting opportunities planned such as the CPD’s Active Together: Inclusive Sport and Physical Recreation Conference on Friday May 29th at

Fleming College and Active Together’s Adaptive Sport Expo on Saturday May 30th at Kenner Collegiate.

CPD’s Inclusion conference taking place on Friday, May 29th includes an exciting line-up of presenters appealing to educators, administrators, recreation professionals and individuals interested in learning how persons with disabilities can get active. Our very own Alec Denys, Peterborough’s torch bearer for the Pan Am games, is the opening keynote speaker who will inspire everyone to action! Details are available on our website, www.pcpd.ca.

The Adaptive Sport Expo on Saturday, May 30th is an exciting opportunity for anyone and everyone to come and try a number of adaptive sports, all in one day.

Sports included on this day will be: archery, athletics, goalball, basketball, soccer, sitting volleyball, yoga, wheelchair tennis, wheelchair basketball, para cycling, boccia, and more, as well as an NCCP coaching clinic from Special Olympics Ontario — Coaching Young Athletes and FUNdamentals.

This is a free event; please call 705-874-8661 to register!

The Active Together project is dedicated to building capacity within the Peterborough community through education and training opportunities; the future creation of an online AT Community Resource Hub that will strengthen partnerships and connect information and equipment resources related to accessible recreation (a June launch); and a one on one mentorship program that provides peer support to individuals living with a disability to be connected with the sport and recreation opportunities already available within the Peterborough community. The aim is to remove as many barriers as possible to allow everyone to be “Active Together”.
