WILBUR MCLEAN Equity Editor PONTIAC \u2022 Now it\u2019s up to you, Pontiac.With Friday\u2019s 4:30 p.m.deadline to file nomination papers passed, the slate of candidates for the Nov.1 municipal election has been finalized.A total of 223 candidates will seek election for 133 seats in Pontiac\u2019s 19 municipalities.Fifty-nine of the seats have already been elected by acclamation, with only one candidate seeking the spot.There will be at least five new mayors in Pontiac as Bristol\u2019s Scott Wilson, Portage du Fort\u2019s Gerald Manwell, Bryson\u2019s A1 Davis, Sheenboro\u2019s Roy Perrault and Rapides des Joachim\u2019s Dale Lévesque have all decided not to seek re-election.Meanwhile, five mayors will return to their seats with no competition.Clarendon\u2019s Jack Lang, Litchfield\u2019s Mike McCrank, Thorne\u2019s Ross Vowles, Calumet Island\u2019s Paul-Émile Maleau and Chichester\u2019s Don Gagnon will all return as mayors of their respective municipalities.In general, the number of candidates running tended to be linked to a municipality\u2019s population.The Municipality of Pontiac, with more than three times the population of any other municipality at 5,238, has 18 candidates running for its seven seats.Other municipalities with many candidates included Mansfield (pop: 2,064), Fort Coulonge (pop: 1,369), Campbell's Bay (pop: 745) and Bristol (pop: 1,210).Seats were generally easier to come by in municipalities with lower populations.For a complete list of all candidates in every municipality, see page three A major exception is the race in Alleyn and Cawood, where 16 candidates will hope to be elected and no seat was acclaimed, the only municipality in Pontiac that could make such a claim.Alleyn and Cawood is Pontiac\u2019s second least populous municipality with 248 residents according to the 2006 Census and the high number of candidates is in complete contrast to the 2005 municipal election when every seat was won by acclamation.The contentious Danford Lake landfill issue was likely the catalyst for residents\u2019 interest, as council spent much of the past four years considering installing a landfill in the municipality, to the dismay of many residents.Campbell\u2019s Bay may be home to the most compelling mayoral race as three highly-experienced candidates will seek election.Incumbent Jean-Louis Auger wrestled the seat from nine-year mayor Cletus Ferrigan in 2005, in what was a contentious race throughout the campaigning period.Ferrigan will attempt to return to the mayor\u2019s chair as he has re-submitted his name.They will be joined by Bill Stewart, a 12-year councillor who also acts as pro-mayor in Campbell\u2019s Bay.Swisha will continue its female dominance on council, though the mayor seat there will be held by one of two men \u2014 James Gibson or Noel Leclerc \u2014 after Levesque stepped down and will instead aim to earn Seat 2 on council.Besides the two mayor candidates, all eight council candidates in Rapides-des-Joachims are female.Who can vote?Residents, taxpayers of record or the sole owner of a business who are at least 18 years old in any particular municipality may vote in that municipality.Voters must be a Canadian citizen or naturalized resident and must also be on their municipality\u2019s voters\u2019 list.To check whether one is on the voters\u2019 list or to add one\u2019s name to the list, contact the appropriate municipal office.Got the gear ) .m- H « Kristina Misener.THE EQUITY Maple Leaf, Almraugh dancers in their German attire from Ottawa posed

their first Greater Ottawa Fastball League championship.The team took a two games to one advantage in their best-of-five series against the Stittsville 56ers on Thursday night.Game three was proof of how the Flyers have matured over the last couple of seasons, as the team ground out a 2-1 extra inning win on the road.Quyon won the game despite having just two hits in the contest.The winning run was scored in the top of the eighth inning when courtesy-runner Luke Young scored on a sacrifice fly by Matt Greer.League rules dictate each team starts every extra inning with a runner at second base.In the bottom of the eighth inning, Stittsville\u2019s courtesy runner advanced to third base with nobody out but Flyers\u2019 pitcher Drew Hathway proved his mettle in striking out the next three batters to end the game.Quyon had trailed 1-0 after a Stittsville home run in the bottom of the fifth inning but the Flyers responded immediately when Greer, who has developed into the team\u2019s best power hitter, stroked a solo home run into right field.The game was again a pitcher\u2019s duel, as Hathway and Stittsville\u2019s Dan Bradley matched each other throughout.Hathway conceded three hits and two walks while striking out 17.Bradley, meanwhile, gave up two hits and walked four while picking up 16 strikeouts along the way.Quyon's first chance at closing out the series was supposed to come Monday night at home, but the game was halted after two and two-thirds innings due to wet field conditions.The game was tied 0-0, though Quyon had threatened by getting runners to third base in both the first and second innings.The game began about 15 minutes away late because of rain and the teams managed to get in almost two innings before the clouds opened up again causing another 10-minute delay.About 15 minutes into the third delay, the rain had stopped but by then the field was in such poor condition that the game was called.The postponement may prove advantageous to the Flyers, however.Game four was scheduled to continue last night in Quyon at 7:30 at the point where it left off on Monday evening.If Stittsville won that, game five was to be played immediately after, giving Quyon home field advantage in the deciding game, rather than Stittsville who had earned the right with the better regular season record.The Flyers\u2019 two wins against Stittsville are already more than the 56ers suffered all season, as they had finished the regular season with a 17-1-2 record.They are the defending league champions.The circle of love Carole St-Aubln, THE EQUITY Elaine Ebert and Raymond Wall display photos of themselves as a young couple who courted more than 55 years ago, and a plaque bearing the song Wall wrote for her, which family members had mounted to preserve the keepsake.Where the rippling waters fall A love that transcends time: Seventy-nine-year-old couple wed after 55 years of separation J Editor\u2019s note: The information and interviews for this story were gathered late last week.On Monday morning, The Equity learned that Elaine Ebert had passed away at 7:50 p.m.on Sunday evening at hospital in Shawville.Ebert and Raymond Wall, 79, were married for nine days before her passing.Ebert died as Equity reporter Carole St-Aubin wrote the story at home, with the article being completed at 8:15 p.m.on Sunday, just 25 minutes after Ebert\u2019s death.It truly is an incredible story.-WM CAROLE ST-AUBIN Equity Reporter CAMPBELL\u2019S BAY \u2022 How many people can say they\u2019ve been given a second chance at happiness, a second chance at love?How many would recognize, take advantage of, and make the most of such an opportunity were it to present itself?After having been apart for more than 55 years, the serendipitous occasion finally did occur for Campbell\u2019s Bay resident, Elaine Ebert, and Raymond Wall of Surrey, BC, when they rekindled their relationship five years ago.On Sept.26, the 79-year-old couple was married at the Pontiac Health Centre in a culminating moment that was simply destined to be, according to Wall\u2019s daughter, Doreen Dawe.Carole St-Aubln, THE EQUITY A picture frame holding photos of young couple, Raymond Wall and Elaine Ebert, when they first courted half a century ago, is cherished as a precious memento.During a brief interview Ebert was.asked what she loved most about Wall, \u201cThat he never forgot me,\u201d came her reply.When they courted briefly all those years ago, Wall had sent Ebert a photo of himself and a song he\u2019d written for her, titled The Sunny Side of the Mountain.Though circumstances rendered it impossible for the young couple to pursue their relationship at the time, the photograph and song remained tucked away in Ebert\u2019s possession for half a century.When asked why they hadn\u2019t continued courting, Wall, who then resided in Clarendon, said, \u201cWe had no telephones back then and I didn\u2019t have a car, Campbell\u2019s Bay seemed so far away.\u201d Ebert and Wall both went on to live their separate lives, moving to the city to find work, many, and raise their families respectively.\u201cBut even then, it seems we remained connected, though neither one of us realized it at the time,\u201d said Wall, who explained that during the many years he worked at a textile manufacturer in Ottawa, Ebert would walk past its front door on her own way to work and could see the textile mill from a window in the building where she worked.\u201cAnd that\u2019s not all.As it turns out we both used to go spend time at Gatineau Park on weekends, having picnics with our families and so on,\u201d said a bewildered Wall.When the textile company was taken over by Albany International, Wall profited from the occasion and was transferred to BC, where he enjoyed a long and happy marriage of 45 years, while raising his 12 children.Meanwhile.Ebert who raised a family of two, also prospered from a 45-year marriage until her husband passed away more than 10 years ago.Coincidently, Wall\u2019s wife had passed away around the same time.For many years Wall says he felt lost and lonely but had no desire to seek the companionship of another woman, nor did Ebert express an interest in finding someone to fill the void.They remained widowed for the next .decade.\u201cThen one day, 1 remember it like it was yesterday, I was walking down a hallway in my home and it was like someone spoke to me: you must get in touch with the Eberts,\u201d Wall explained.The thought bounced around in his head for the rest of that day.\u201cIt even woke me in the middle of the night,\u201d he said.\u201cIt hounded me, it was so persistent that I almost wanted to shout for it to leave me alone.\u201d But instead the next day, Wall spoke to his brother who advised him to follow through, telling him he had nothing to lose.Having no clue how he\u2019d find her from 3,000 miles away, Wall picked up a copy of The Equity and contacted Iris Smith, who writes the social notes for Campbell\u2019s Bay, to ask her about a certain Elaine Rebertz.\u201cThe name didn\u2019t sound familiar to her, but she said she\u2019d keep looking,\u201d Wall said.His brother then went through a phone book looking for the Rebertz families in Campbell\u2019s Bay area when he realized the name they should be looking for was Ebert.Wall\u2019s face lit up: \u201cWhen he said the name it clicked, that\u2019s who she was: Elaine Ebert,\u201d he said.\u201cThere were three Eberts in the book so I just picked one and happened to get a hold of her sister-in-law.\u201d Wall went on to explain how he was told she was a widow, and that she probably wouldn\u2019t object to a phone call.So he did just that.\u201cShe remembered who I was and told me she had just come across the song I\u2019d written her a few days before I «died.\u201cShe said she read it twice, folded it Emd put it away,\u201d he said incredulously' The re-connection was immediate and comfortable, according to Wall, who said they had talked for more than three hours that day, and hours upon hours for the next couple of months.\u201c1 just wouldn\u2019t give up on her again at that point,\u201d he said with an obvious glow.Please see LOVE on page 13 RT^HKK DIRECT INC.Courtier immobilier agree Franchise indépendant et autont Campbell's

By your example they are well and rounded people.Thanks to all who they've worked for mucking stalls, mowing lawns, stocking shelves to babysitting, working as a cashier and waiting tables.The list is long .By giving them these opportunities they are responsible adults.Thanks to our neighbours who have watched them grow up, you are generous, special peoplel Thanks to all the others in this community that have touched their lives.The saying is true, it does take a village to raise a child.So this is the time, to pat yourselves on the back.walk with your heads held high .yes something good does come out of the Pontiac.Well done! Tracey Latreille Shawville It\u2019s raining again Carole St-Aubin CAROLE ST-AUBIN Equity Reporter PONTIAC \u2022 Take out your umbrellas, the rainy season is upon us.But hold on, didn\u2019t we just leave it behind?We must have wrongly assumed we had gotten past it during that stretch of wonderful weather we were finally able to enjoy this past August.When I hear about another hurricane, tornado, or tropical storm, however, rain seems rather harmless and I don\u2019t mind it at all.We do tend to forget how fortunate we are to be tucked at the feet of the Laurentian Mountains, which provide us a certain protection against the harsher elements.Meanwhile, Pacific Ocean surface temperatures have been warming and scientists are saying a new El Nino, which typically comes around every two to five years, is upon us.(The most recent El Nino occurrences were experienced in the winter of 2006-2007.) Though it is expected to continue gathering strength through the winter months, Environment Canada meteorologists say they will have a better idea of El Nino\u2019s potential this fall.El Nino winter conditions could potentially affect the climate worldwide and would translate to warmer weather with a lot less snow for us here.So we may get a bit of a break in the harsh winter conditions we have been acclimated to in this region.And what does the old Farmers Almanac predict for our oncoming Canadian winter?The exact opposite of that in fact, with below-average temperatures and above normal snowfalls for the southern B.C.region, which could be interpreted as classic weather conditions for the upcoming 2010 Winter Olympics, wouldn\u2019t you say?Either way, the weather will continue to provide ideal fodder for impromptu conversations in a variety of social circles.Correction Incorrect information appeared in the story, \u201cQuyon man places second in local racing circuit\u201d that appeared on page three of the Wednesday, Sept.23 issue of The Equity.Mark Trudeau finished first overall in the eight-cylinder stock car circuit at Autodrome Edelweiss Speedway in Cantley.His final placing for the season was stated incorrectly in the original article.The Equity sincerely apologizes to Trudeau and his racing team for the error.Breast cancer can happen KRISTINA MISENER \u2018 Equity Editor SHAWVILLE \u2022 In June during a routine selfbreast exam, thirty-year-old Kaara Brown-Richardson of Shawville found something that a young healthy woman wouldn\u2019t expect in their breast, a lump.\u201cI always did self-breast exams, I am glad that I did or else the cancer may not have been found right away,\u201d commented Brown-Richardson.It is a fact that one in nine women in Canada will be diagnosed with breast cancer and the majority of women do not do a routine self exam.Canada is among several western developed countries with the highest breast cancer incidence rates for women aged 20-49 according to the Canadian Cancer society.Since June 19 Kaara, an active mother of three children, has completed the surgery for a partial mastectomy and is now into her third chemotherapy treatment.\u201cI can not say enough about our doctors here at the Pontiac Health Centre, their support and help has made a difference to me.I know that we complain about the wait in the emergency room, but, when you are on the other side, when they are there and are helping me to cope and beat this, that is what counts,\u201d said Kaara.Last weekend marked the C1BC Run for a Cure, held in Ottawa.Kaara\u2019s sister Krista Brown started a mission, a mission to collect money to help in the research for a cure and created a team of family and friends called, 4 Kaara\u2019z Koconutz.Surpassing the original goal of $350 the team raised over $5,300 dollars.\u201cIt shows the love and support from our community,\u201d commented Krista.Money can still be donated towards the cause until Oct.31.However, Krista and Kaara will start intensive training for a 60 kilometre run.They will train to be each able to walk 30 kilometres a day in support of the fight against women\u2019s cancer.Krista has also created a group on the popular social networking Facebook called, 4 Kaara'z Koconutz, a group that anyone can join and add their comments or support.\u201cFighting this battle can not be done alone; it takes the support and love of family, friends and the community to make this battle easier,\u201d commented Krista.:*URAGF \t \t Submitted photo Kaara Brown-Richardson with her team \u201c4 Kaara\u2019z Koconutz\u201d at the Ottawa Run for & Cure event last Sunday.Shawville JpKk\tLyse Lacourse f* ''\t647-5932 ^\tlysie wheezy® hotmail.com Jessie and Cory Brownlee have welcomed a new baby girl into their family.Mary jane Elizabeth Brownlee arrived on Monday, Sept.21 at 1 15 a m Congratulations to Jessie and Cor and Janet and Luc Lapointe, Guy Woolsey and Kim, and Betty and Ted Brownlee and great-grandparents Keith and Phyllis Woolsey, Iona Hodgins, and Edward and Shirley Tanner.Municipal elections are gearing up.Local councillors are vying for your support.Please get out and vote at the advance poll on Oct.25 at the Dr.S.E.McDowell School and the actual election day is Nov.1 at McDowell School.Looking forward to seeing my family coming for Thanksgiving.Get well wishes to Wayne Telford recovering from knee surgery last week.Michelle Lawton-Gregory (my mom) is visiting me this week.Glad to have you back in.the Pontiac Mom!

gratitude in general.It is a holiday celebrated primarily in Canada and the United States.The date and location of the first Thanksgiving celebration is a topic of modest contention.Though the earliest attested Thanksgiving celebration was on Sept.8, 1565 in what is now St.Augustine, Florida, the traditional \u201cfirst Thanksgiving\u201d is venerated as having occurred at the site of Plymouth in 1621.Today Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada.Thanksgiving dinner is held on this day, usually as a gathering of family members and friends.i Y y

KRISTINA MISENER Equity Editor SHAWVILLE \u2022 On Saturday evening at the United Church, Phillip Holmes, Jillian Yemen and accompanist Jean Desmarais filled the church with sounds of opera, folk and classical music selections.This is the first of three concerts for the 175th celebrations of the United Church.Friends, family and guests sat silently listening to the splendour of music, mesmerized by the exquisiteness of each vocalist.Holmes is baritone singer born and raised in Clarendon, the son of Carol and David Holmes.At a young age of seven Phillip started piano lessons with piano teacher Cheryl Campbell, during that time he also took an interest in performing musicals with Joan Conrod, a local retired teacher and well known local playwright.\u201cJoan is the reason that I pursued my career in singing, she noticed my voice and commented to me that I should continue to develop my singing career.And I did just that,\u201d said Holmes.He has been a part of the many musicals and performances through out the valley.He is now a music and drama teacher at Philemon Wright High School, in Hull.Where he shares his love of singing and drama with his students.Yemen is a mezzo-soprano singer a graduate of the Master of Operatic Performance Program at the University of Toronto.Yemen has performed under the batons of Helmuth Rilling and Harry Bickett, at venues such as Roy Thomson Hall, and in many recitals.Yemen also has a direct link to the area, as her uncle Trevor Howard is from Shawville.Yemen calls home Braeside, Ont.where she was raised.Asking Yemen about when her ability to sing became a passion, she stated, \u201cI was always singing as a young child, a voice teacher moved into our area and my parents sent me to lessons right away.I never stopped singing since.\u201d The accompanist, Jean Desmarais obtained his Master\u2019s degree at the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal in Anisia Campos\u2019 class.Also known for his award at the Concours International de musique de chambre du XXe sièclein Martigues France.Holmes and Yemen performed various solo songs accompanied by Désarmais from famous composers such as Mozart and Mendelssohn and

^\tHermonie V-\t647-3459 * In November 2009 the St.Luke's Anglican Church Guild will be celebrating their 75th year.To commemorate this occasion a dinner is to be held at Auberge in Portage du Fort on Thursday, Oct.8 at 12 o\u2019clock noon.When my husband and I moved with our family in 1947 I was asked to join the guild and how 1 enjoyed going and sometimes having it in my home.It was a good way to meet new friends.This little church is no longer is use but the guild is still meeting under the leadership of one our former Caldwell residents, Raeburn Orr.I think the late Mrs Jack Caldwell, Flora Tracy\u2019s mother, was one of the ones or the one to start this guild.The Caldwells had donated the land for the church.Congratulations and may you have many more years of success.The wild geese are flying south.The weather right now is sure miserable.The weather report isn't very favourable for the week and they seem to be hitting the nail on the head as rain is sure the order of the day.I guess we actually need the rain as everything was getting \"ery dry.At the last Poor Man\u2019s Lunch, someone forgot to take their jacket home with them.If you call Gloria Green and give a description of your jacket, or just maybe you haven't realized your mislaid your jacket, so check and see and if so call Voting day is coming in Bristol.Only one councillor is staying on, Keith Smith The rest have opposition.The dates for voting are, the advanced poll is Oct.25 noon to 8 p.m.and the voting day is Sunday, Nov.10 a m.to 8 p.m.Voting is always serious business a ndrequires a great deal of thinking.Ask yourself what each person running has done for the municipality, what offices they held or their experience, are they working for the betterment of our community.Get out and vote Remember each vote counts.Anniversary congratulations to Ron and Helen Mackechnie who celebrated over this past week.To my niece Stephanie and Jason Howe of Kitchner who celebrated their anniversary Oct.1, may you enjoy many more.Birthday congratulations to Bill Callaghan and Cecil McTiernan who celebrate Oct.6, also to Daisy Russet Oct.9.Thanksgiving is coming and if you or your loved ones are travelling do drive with care.It\u2019s a beautiful time of year and each and every one of us have something to be thankful for.Vinton n Diane Boisvert 648-5296 Get well wishes ^ to James \u201cJim\u201d Crawford who underwent surgery on his leg.This is his sixth operation and we sure do hope this time is the last time.He was a patient in Hull Hospital and we\u2019re beginning to think that Jim just loves those nurses and that\u2019s why he keeps going back.All kidding aside we do want to see you up and about real soon.Oh Sept.26 visitors at Bruce Hodgins\u2019 camp were Mavis and Blair Peck, Don Palmer and Richel Bautista, a princess from the Phillipeans, Karen Frost, Cory Pilon and I also visited that evening.Another visitor at his camp was a big black bear who was creating havoc outside.Bears are a big problem this year due to lack of food this summer.It is unfortunate for them because they are forced to come closer to human habitat and many are being killed because of the destruction they are doing to the crops.Congratulations to Bubba (Robert) Hearty who caught a 7 and a-half pound pickerel in the Ottawa River.He decided to have it mounted.On Sept.27 Ramona Dunahee, her daughter Angela and Ramona\u2019s first grandchild, William and I all visited at the home of Anna.William is 11 months old and he took his first steps that day.I couldn\u2019t believe my own eyes on Sept.30.I heard some heavy machinery outside and there were men changing the culvert in front of my house on Hearty and Church Rd.They removed the cattails and cleaned the ditch so now people will be able to see Church Road when they pull out of Hearty Road.I still had my hose outside last week and that was a good thing for Marianne Frost and her daughter.Their car started heating up near my place so they saw the hose out and were able to replenish the radiator.They were just pulling out of my driveway when I got home and they told me what had happened.Our grandson Corben lost his first baby tooth last week.I was talking to him on the phone and he told me that the Tooth Fairy had given him $10.Then Corben went on to tell me he wants me and Grandma to come to his Halloween Party on Oct.24.He was so excited that we just couldn\u2019t say no.I have to tell you a funny story that happened to me last week at E & A Carpets in Shawville.Theresa and I went in to look at some

I had left them in the trunk.They weren\u2019t there either.This time I went back into E & A and the clerk started to help me look again.I bent over to move some flooring and suddenly heard a jingle.I looked up at the clerk red faced and I told her that I found them.I had filed them in my bra.We both started laughing.Then I went back out to the car and told Theresa that the keys were in front of her all along.The moose hunters are getting ready for their annual moose hunt.This is the time of year grown men turn into little boys.They are so excited and full of anticipation and doing their

not,\u2019 said board member, Nicholas Brodeur These acts of good faith upon the part of the board and its members are key in securing continuing loans from the Fédération des Producteurs de Bois du Québec, at little to no inter est to help keep the produc -ers board\u2019s deficit at a min imum, according to the fed eration\u2019s Director General.Jean-Pierre Dansereau.The two-year contract that Quyon CAROLE ST-AUBIN Equity Reporter CAMPBELLS BAY \u2022 A motion to rise the levy for Pontiac\u2019s private wood producers by 40 cents was passed when 24 board members voted in favour of accepting, while six members voted against the proposition to modify the Pontiac forest producers\u2019 levee contributions from $1 10 to $1 50 a metric If any of the roughly 40 members had arrived with hopes of hearing a bit of positive news at their annual general meeting on Thursday, they were quickly dissuaded as the meeting got under way.\"The economic difficulties we have all experienced speak for themselves,\u2019 said Pontiac Board President, Douglas Gauthier, in his opening address.\u201cWith another drop of .50 rents per tonne for poplar, and $140 for spruce and balsam, the stumpage fees are at an all-time low for public land owners \u201cAnd we're only on our second pass since February, with only 25 to 30 load slips for our 300 producers,\" he continued.The public sector is cornering the market, therefore private land owners who own an average of 200 acres of land are just a drop m the bucket to them, Gauthier explained.He added that trucking fees, land taxes, and transportation fees land owners had to take into consideration were inconsequential to the large mill corporations \u201cAll they want is their volume.\u2019 The Pontiac Wood Products Producers Board has been the voice of the Pontiac in the market since it was formed in 1998, according to Gauthier.\"We've established a fair, equitable sales office, obtained a computer program that enables us to connect to the rest of the province, we eliminated the middle man,\u201d he stated.He went on to say that their direct dealing with companies, their establishment of trucking regulations on a kilometre basis, the fact that they were instrumental in helping obtain fuel compensations and were able to establish management funds were accomplishments that were obtained by the pro- ducers themselves, with no government contributions While the producers board has been taking every possible measure to cut their operating costs, what it all boils down to is finding a way to keep the Producers Board afloat, according to Gauthier \u201cWe need to hang on to what we have, and when the economy turns around the system will be in place then we can take our rightful place on the market once again,\u201d Gauthier stated.The rise in levy fees will help reduce the earlier predictions of an $80,000 deficit at the end of their fiscal year by $20,000.As voices were raised regarding the measures being taken for the survival of the producers board, the prospect of selling the office building the board owns was broached, to which board members replied it was also an option they were already looking into, adding that they were meeting with the bank within the next couple of days to discuss it.\u201cWe would still have a basic operating fee of approximately $32,000 for a year of

the Tournament of Champions in Quad Cities, then back home to their own GOFL playoffs, where they have battled their way to the finals, and also a big weekend that saw them crowned the win ners of the 2009 Challenge Cup, awarding them one of the first berths in the 2010 ToC.It\u2019s been an outstand ing season thus far.And it\u2019s not over yet.Last night, the Flyers took on the Stittsville 56\u2019ers in game 3 of their best-of-5 final at the Grove in Stittsville.It was a big game; a win would give them the opportunity to close out the series Monday night before their hometown fans in Quyon.The 56\u2019ers are a formidable opponent, considering they finished first in league standings this year, with an impressive 17-1-2 record.When Quyon defeated them 4-3 in a tight match up in game two, it was the first time they beat Stittsville all year.Last night, it was another nail-biter.Actually, no.I didn\u2019t bite my nails, because I had mittens on.It was freakin\u2019 cold.But was negotiated with Bowater in June for $75 per tonne for logs this winter, and $76 fier tonne in full length in the summer is still a good contract despite all, according to Brodeur.He pointed out that there are always certain risks in not getting paid, should the corporation, which has been under financial duress, suddenly apply for bankruptcy protection, he stated.Added Brodeur: \u201cIt should remain a bit less risky until the fans that did brave the frigid night air were not disappointed.It was a tense, exciting game, as it went scoreless for quite sometime, a pitching duel between Stittsville\u2019s Dan Bradley and Quyon\u2019s Drew Hathway.Stittsville got on the scoreboard first with a solo home run, but Matt Greer answered back, hitting his own solo to draw the score even again.After seven innings to witness the score remained deadlocked, and we were headed to extra innings.In the top of 8.Luke started the inning on second base because of the extra-inning rule, and ended up stealing third.Greer hit a sac fly on which Luke tagged and scored, giving the Flyers the 2-1 lead.In the bottom of 8, things pretty much went the same, with the Stittsville player who started on second base ending up stealing third.Then Hathway struck out two batters, and it all came down to one of Stittsville\u2019s best sticks, Scott Herriot.With the count at three balls two strikes, Herriot was all set to take his walk, but was called out on a controversial third strike.The 56\u2019ers didn't like the call, but nevertheless, the Flyers gathered at the mound to celebrate the win!
