S P O R T S NATASHA FORTIN READY TO CURL AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER

Grade 12 year at school. Both have now moved to other pursuits following their June graduation. “It was a good season with them,” Fortin said. “I really enjoyed playing on the VCI team, it was a lot of fun. I’ve played with them (Allen and Lovitt) a long time. It’s going to be a big change not playing with them again.” But Fortin is looking ahead with eager- ness to a new season. It will be her last one too for VCI as she will be finishing her Grade 12 year. But she hopes to leave behind her a strong core trio of curlers ready to hold the women’s curling banner high at VCI for the next couple of years. Fortin has combined her VCI experience with some semi-competitive curling play an

RCMP league rink.“It was a good experi- ence playing with new people,” she said. “It really influenced my decision this year to keep on playing with a new competitive team.” For the high school curling season, besides finding two new rink mates and helping bring them up to speed on the ice, Fortin has her sights on VCI making as good an impression this season on the high school tournament schedule as last season. That includes trying for a shot at the provincials at least one more time. “We want to make it as far as possible as we can,” she said. “Going to OFSAA again would be fantastic. But our main goal is to find new people and maybe make it to the regionals.”

Another summer almost gone and another school year almost ready to begin, and Natasha Fortin already has her mind on the next high school curl- ing season. “We’re going to start searching early in the school year for new players,” Fortin said, during an interview earlier in the season. “So we can start training with them as soon as possible.” Fortin and Evy Cooley are the remaining half of Vankleek Hill Collegiate Institute’s champion women’s high school curling rink. Senior members Caitlin Allen and Émilie Lovitt both finished their final season with the VCI rink as part of their

Natasha Fortin a hâte de commencer, tôt en septembre, à se préparer pour la prochaine saison de curling à l›école secondaire et travailler avec sa coéquipière, Evy Cooley. La première tâche du duo est de trouver deux nouveaux membres pour l’équipe de curling féminin du Vankleek Hill Collegiate Institute, depuis que Caitlin Allen et Émilie Lovitt ont terminé leur dernière saison pour VCI, avant la remise des diplômes plus tôt cette année. —photo Gregg Chamberlain &/#3&'r#3*&'4 NOUVEAU SERVICE D’ALARME Dans le cadre de l’élaboration du plan d’urgence pour ses citoyens, le canton d’Alfred-Plantagenet s’est nouvellement doté d’un tout nouveau système d’alerte et de communication.
