Oakfield Park to Host Family Highland Games in Honour of St Finan, 20 Feb 2022
(08 Feb 2022 – Perth) The Lanark Highlanders will tap into their Scottish heritage as they celebrate an obscure Celtic saint on the Sunday of the Family Day long weekend.
"In the old days, the highland men and women would come together in the winter to compete in feats of strength after which they would share a simple meal and tell stories," according to "Handsome" Dave MacKenzie, the club's Gaelic-speaking antiquarian and Old Boys' fullback. "We are going to recreate some of that community spirit at the club this winter."
The Highlanders are gathering at Oakfield Rugby Park, their brand new, 20-acre training facility and clubhouse, to partake in this family-themed, all-ages event which will feature outdoor winter games, a beef stew dinner and a story-telling contest.
"Teams will be mixed by age and gender and will move through a series of outdoor events, collecting points towards the championship," says Handsome Dave. "We'll have snowshoe 'Jinky-jinky' relay racing; skillet-tossing; and a giant Crokinole game set up with curling stones. There'll be some rugby skill stations too: ball-throwing and punt-receiving and some other highland favorites."
After the outdoor games, all will retire to Oakfield Park's Great Hall for a hearty beef stew followed by a traditional story-telling competition.
The event is open to all members, friends and associates of the Lanark Highlanders.
Doors open at 2:30 for registration. Cost for the event will be $12 for individuals, or $10 each for groups of four or more.
Due to COVID restrictions, space is limited so to reserve your place in the mead hall, EMT payment to firstname.lastname@example.com and name your team mates in the Comments section.
For more information, contact Finley Mullally at email@example.com.
Indoor Winter Rugby Training is Back in Lanark!
(07 Feb 2022 – Perth) The Lanark Highlanders Rugby Football Club is back on the pitch and holding indoor training at Beckwith Recreation Complex on Sunday mornings until 24 April. U18, all genders, have the field from 10am, followed by the adults, all genders, from 11am until noon.
"This is a great opportunity to leverage the fantastic growth that the club has seen in 2021," says club president Dan Drummond. "Despite the pandemic, between the youth and adult programmes, the number of registered players grew by four times over previous years."
The club will be enforcing Lanark/Leeds Public Health Guidelines and participants must show proof of vaccination and register for contact tracing upon arrival.
"Despite the continuing COVID restrictions, the growth of the club has been a real bright spot and gives me hope for the 2022 season," says Drummond.
Players will work on fitness and agility as well as developing rugby-specific skills. "But we won't be doing full-contact drills on the AstroTurf", says Coach LeeAnn Napiokowski. "But it's surprising how much you get out of flag training," adds Napiorkowski, referring to "Flag Rugby". "It's a fun, light-contact version of the game that still emphasises good technique and tactics."
For anyone interested in returning to the sport or in checking out rugby for the first time, the Highlanders would love to meet you. Come for a run-about and meet the community. Arrive 5 mins before the session, bring proof of vaccination, and wear soccer cleats or cross trainers. Costs for all 12 sessions is $50 for U18 and $100 for adults. Single-session drop-ins are welcome at $10 a session.
For more information, email any member of the club executive.
Mini Highlanders Rugby Debuts in 2021
2021 marked the beginning of the Lanark Highlanders mini rugby program. From July 6 to August 28, 48 athletes aged 5-12 learned how to play rugby at Oakfield Rugby Park. Our young Highlanders made new friends and represented the club at 2 EORU tournaments. We are so proud of how much our players learned this summer. At the end of our summer season, every mini-Highlander was gifted a ball, bag and water bottle from Regional Plumbing and Water Treatment. We hope our new rugby players will share their overall of rugby with their classmates and friends in the community.
Special thanks to all of our coaches who made this summer so much fun! Joe Adams, Sierra Devries, Andrew Drummond, Dave Harrison, Emilee Harrison, Kendra Harrison, Sean McDaniel, Duncan McNaughton, LeeAnn Napiorkowski, Tekapua Rewi, Eric Smith, Jamie Smith.
Lanark Highlanders Show Their Drive: $3300 raised for Local Food Banks in #TackleHunger Campaign
(Perth, 17 April, 2020) – Lanark County's Rugby Club responded to the news that local food banks were in need of replenishment by collecting 345 lbs of food and raising $3300 in cash donations. Their week-long #TackleHunger campaign drew support from the rugby community locally, but was also supported by other clubs and players in the region.
"I'm so proud of this club and its community," says coach and drive organiser, LeeAnn Napiorkowski. "I am so impressed with the positive spirit and generosity I've experienced with this rugby family."
Club president, Dan Drummond, says the idea was floated during an emergency meeting of the executive, held virtually, to discuss the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on their current membership drive.
"I didn't have much good news to share with the team: essentially, the cancellation of the rugby season in the middle of our expansion was a real morale killer. But the response was, 'Let's do something else.'"
The Highlanders are in the midst of a recruiting campaign that will add boys' and girls' programmes and several men's and women's teams to the club's roster.
"When we considered the size of the club's core membership, we decided to set an ambitious goal to raise $2000 over the course of a week," recalls Dave Harrison, co-organiser of the campaign. "Six days in, we were only $100 shy, so we made a final appeal for the last hundred dollars the night before the campaign ended, and club members donated an additional $1400, putting us well over the top. I love this club."
The Highlanders also collected 345 lbs of non-perishable food items, respecting social-distancing rules. Money and food will be distributed to The Hunger Stop (Carleton Place), Smiths Falls Community Food Bank, and The Table Community Food Centre (Perth).
Be Bold: Play Rugby! Lanark Highlanders Launch Recruiting Campaign
(Perth, ON) – The Lanark Highlanders Rugby Football Club has launched a media campaign to grow their membership in 2020, advertising free training for men, women, boys and girls. The club expansion coincides with the construction of a 20-acre training facility in Drummond Township, just East of Perth, due to open in July.
"Lanark County is poised to become a regional centre of Rugby excellence," predicts Dan Drummond, club president. "We have attracted a first class coaching staff and soon, will have a first-class rugby park. All we need now are more Highlanders." The Highlanders added a U17 girls program in 2019 and will launch a senior women's team and a boys team this summer.
Free training is being offered every Monday night under the dome at Beckwith Park, just south of Carleton Place, beginning at 9pm weekly. In addition, the club will be offering a "Try Rugby" session specifically for boys and girls, 14-18 years old, at Carleton Place High School, Friday 21 Feb, from 5:30 to 7pm.
"Come on out and give it a try," says club president, Dan Drummond. "All you need are a pair of soccer cleats. We are a very inclusive club, and welcoming of anyone. Rugby is one of those sports where we don't expect new folks to come to us knowing the game. No experience needed. We'll teach you everything you need to know."
TeKapua Rewi, head coach is quick to add: "I mean, we'd love to have former players, track stars and off-season hockey players, power-lifters and football players, too."
Citizens of Lanark county should start seeing posters, hearing ads on Lake88, and reading posts on social media. The campaign features the slogan, "Be bold: Play Rugby!" and will run through the spring. Besides welcoming new players, the Highlanders are also hoping to attract refs, coaches, social members and club boosters to the sport.

Rugby Ontario Introduces their Sport to 300 Lanark Co Students
(Perth – 18 Jan 2020) On 14 and 15 January, 2020, Ryan Jones and Liam Spafford from Rugby Ontario, partnered with the coaching staff of the Lanark Highlanders Rugby Club, were invited to lead Physical Education classes in county schools.
The team presented "Honda Rookie Rugby Training", a non-contact, skill-development program designed to introduce rugby-based athletics to new players. Rugby Ontario dispatched Jones and Spafford, two development officers from its headquarters in Whitby On, to lead the sessions. More than 300 students from grades seven to 12 were involved in the two-day extravaganza at Perth and District CI, St John's, and Carleton Place High Schools. Rugby Ontario seeded each school with five free Rugby Balls for their athletic programs.
"It was great to see so many smiling faces at the end of the sessions," said Highlander coach, Eru Pou. "I was nothing but proud of our club and our sport, and the direction we're heading this year."
The Highlander club is planning a wide membership expansion to coincide with the opening of their 20-acre training facility and clubhouse near Gillies Corners later this year.
Last year, the club added a third registered team, Women U17, to the Eastern Ontario Rugby Union, joining the Senior Men and Old Boys. This year, the club intends to add a senior women's team, a boys team and a mixed abilities team for players with special needs.
"Rugby is for everyone," says club president Dan Drummond. "We'll register teams to play in the EORU as our numbers allow, but we will provide a training and playing experience for anyone who wants to join us. In some cases we've partnered with other clubs to make a full team, and in others we've selected tournaments and participated in "friendlies" with visiting teams." There are also several variants of the game to allow for smaller numbers of teammates.
"We're going to see who shows up for indoor, winter training," according to Drummond, "and all are welcome."
The club will be offering weekly, introductory training sessions at Beckwith Park near Carleton place Monday evenings at 9pm starting on 03 Feb and running through to the spring for all ages, genders and abilities. In addition, the club will be hosting a "Try Rugby" session targeting youth, 14-18 years old at Carleton Place High school on Friday 21 Feb from 5:30-7pm. All these events are free of charge.

Highlanders to bring Ryan Jones to Lanark Co High Schools, Jan 2020
The Lanark Highlanders Rugby Club is proud to introduce Ryan Jones, the development manager at Rugby Ontario, to a number of our schools in Lanark County.
The Highlanders have invited Mr Jones to run "Honda Rookie Rugby Training" sessions at area high schools, supported by their own coaches and players, in efforts to grow the sport in Lanark.
"This is the time to play rugby in Lanark County," says former Team Canada player and Carleton University coach, LeeAnn Napiorkowski. "There are big things happening with the Highlanders in 2020 and the development of our youth programme is priority one for the club."
Ryan Jones' team will be leading rugby drills and skills as part of Physical Education classes next week. Sessions will run in Perth on Tuesday, 14 January at both St John's High School and Perth and District Collegiate Institute. The next day, Wednesday, 15 January, Honda Rookie Rugby Training will be offered at Carleton Place High School. For more information about Honda Rookie Rugby Training, visit https://rookierugby.ca.
The Highlanders, supported by players and coaches from the Carleton University Ravens Rugby Team, will offer a free "Try Rugby" training event for boys and girls, aged 14 to 18, on Friday, 21 February from 5:30 to 7pm at Carleton Place High School.
The Highlanders' current membership drive coincides with the construction of a 20-acre rugby park and clubhouse in Gillies Corners, due to open in summer of 2020.
Highlanders First Side defeats Carleton University Seconds in a Friendly (but Physical) Rugby Match
(Perth, 19 September, 2019) – It was a contest that pitted youth against experience as the Lanark Highlanders Rugby Club's men's first team hosted the Carleton University men's second team for a friendly match at Beckwith Park last night.
The final result was a 45-12 victory for Lanark County.
"It was a physical game, for sure," remarked Dave Harrison, long-standing prop and one of the original members of the Highlanders. "The young fellas gave us a good run for our money, but you should always bet on cunning and experience."
Patient play among the forwards allowed for possession to run in favour of the Highlanders who waited for opportune moments to run the ball through the back line. Deft offloading permitted Lanark to exploit gaps in Carleton's defence. Still, the younger team did not fold under the pressure and paid out massive hits and finished tackles. The Highlanders selected Carleton's Nick Naida as "Man of the Match" while Curtis Bernicky was the Highlander honoured.
"I'd love to get some of those Carleton boys into Highlander kit next spring," said club president Dan Drummond. "Our seasons are complementary, so most university athletes will play for club teams through the spring and summer before heading back to their University sides in the Fall."
The Lanark Highlanders are currently working on a club expansion and will add a women's team and a U17 boys' team to the club roster for play in 2020. If you would like to join the club as an athlete, fan or sponsor, leave your email address below.

Colorado Springs — By far the strangest Air Force-Navy football game of anyone's lifetime will kick off Saturday at 6 p.m. Eastern at Falcon Stadium.
It's the first weekend of October and this is the season opener for Air Force, which went from possibly not having any games during the fall semester to suddenly playing a nine-game schedule.
"It is quite, quite different that way," Air Force coach Troy Calhoun said about starting a college football season in October and against service academy rival Navy. "Hopefully, we'll go another 130 years until it has to happen again."
Calhoun acknowledged during a virtual news conference earlier this week he would have preferred a warm-up game in late September.
Meanwhile, Navy has only played two games because of the coronavirus pandemic. Home games against Lafayette (Sept. 12) and Temple (Sept. 26) were canceled and postponed, respectively.
Normally, at this point, both service academies would have played four games and had plenty of tape to review in preparation.
"Obviously, we haven't seen them play a game this season. We really don't know what they look like," Navy safety Kevin Brennan said. "They've been preparing for a while now, so I expect them to be ready for us."
When Air Force announced the contest would be held as scheduled, Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo reacted angrily. The 13th-year head coach did not think it was fair the Falcons had a month to prepare for a service academy rival.
Calhoun would no doubt argue, however, the Midshipmen have an advantage because they gained two games worth of experience.
This is the first leg of the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy series, the round-robin competition among the three major service academies. Navy has possession of the 170-pound trophy after defeating Air Force (34-25) and Army (31-7) last season.
It is normally an electric atmosphere at Falcon Stadium when Navy comes to town with a sellout crowd of 43,000 and a parade of military aircraft flying beforehand. This season, due to the virus, only members of the Cadet Wing will be allowed into the stadium.
Adding to the weirdness is the fact Air Force will be without 35 to 40 players due to administrative turnbacks granted because of the pandemic. All cadets were given the option of withdrawing from the academy this semester because of the circumstances involving online instruction and other restrictions put in place due to coronavirus.
None of the five returning starters on defense — defensive end Jordan Jackson, defensive tackle Christopher Herrera, outside linebacker Lakota Wills, inside linebacker Demonte Meeks and cornerback Milton Bugg III — were listed on the roster released Monday. Several other projected impact players on defense are also not on the depth chart.
"There are going to be some new guys who haven't played a whole lot in regard to college football," admitted Calhoun, adding that he loves the effort and attitude those inexperienced defenders have shown.
A large contingent of sophomores and freshmen are listed on the Air Force depth chart and Niumatalolo said it was difficult developing a scouting report. With limited knowledge of the personnel, the Navy offensive coaching staff has focused more on the schemes the Falcons employ.
"It doesn't matter who is underneath the lightning bolt helmet. They're going to be good players who are tough and well-coached," Niumatalolo said.
Said senior slotback Myles Fells: "We come out there and play whoever they put on the field."
Navy received an unexpected bye last weekend because the Temple game was moved to Oct. 10. That worked out well since the Naval Academy was conducting exams last week. Niumatalolo said practices were much sharperthis week.
Air Force has employed an odd defensive front against the Navy triple-option ever since Paul Johnson returned as head coach and reinstalled the system that he initially implemented under predecessor Charlie Weatherbie.
However, Air Force threw Navy for a loop by switching to an even front in 2018. The Midshipmen had no backup plan and managed only 178 total yards in a 35-7 loss. Afterward, offensive coordinator Ivin Jasper blamed himself.
"Last two times out there, we didn't have a good plan," said Jasper, including a 28-14 defeat at Falcon Stadium in 2016.
Navy has not won at Air Force since 2012 when freshman quarterback Keenan Reynolds came off the bench to lead a 28-21 overtime victory.
Jasper said this week the offensive staff knows basically what to expect out of the Air Force defense, which has tended to use the same formula against Navy.
The Falcons almost always try to take away the perimeter element of the option and make the Mids grind it out between the tackles with the quarterback and fullbacks running the ball. Air Force tends to stack the line to make it difficult to do that. Navy has usually enjoyed success whenever it has gotten the fullback dive going.
"They're very, very aggressive on defense: We're coming, and you better be able to block us all," Jasper said. "We have to be physical at the point of attack, we have to be the tougher team. We have to take a punch from these guys, then counter punch and find a way to knock them out."
Meanwhile, the Air Force offense remains largely intact with such standout skill position players as tailback Kade Remsberg, fullback Timothy Jackson and slot receiver Brandon Lewis. Left tackle Parker Ferguson and left guard Nolan Laufenberg, a pair of Outland Trophy watch list members, lead a veteran offensive line.
"It's basically the same team coming back that we saw last season with some exceptions," Navy defensive coordinator Brian Newberry said. "Jackson is a really talented player; Kadin at slot is very dynamic as well. They have good players at every spot, so you really have to defend the entire field."
Based off the depth chart, the only notable offensive player who took a turn-back was wide receiver David Cormier.
It remains unclear whether Air Force will have the services of two-year starting quarterback Donald Hammond III, who is considered a cadet not in good standing. Hammond remains at the academy and has been allowed to practice, presumably ready if there was a sudden change in his status.
Junior Warren Bryan and sophomore Haaziq Daniels are listed as co-starters at quarterback. Calhoun suggested three freshmen are also in the mix with Ben Brittain believed to be the best of the bunch.
"They've both looked very good in practice. They're doing a great job and looking like vets out there," Air Force wide receiver Ben Peterson said of Bryan and Daniels.

Lamentations of the past year and hopes for the next year have not changed in the past 167 years as New Year's feelings abound today in Williamsburg and elsewhere in Virginia.
A sickly "southern lady" of Williamsburg, Elizabeth Judith "Lizzie" Galt, took the occasion of New Year's 1854 to pause and meditate on the day, as she put it in poems especially prepared for The Virginia Gazette, when the new year and old year "shake hands."
Her ruminations reveal a personal faith tinged with "forbearance and perhaps a premonition. She welcomed the revelation of her life as it would come," in notes prepared by historian and retired Daily Press editor Will Molineux.
Since about 1829 Galt had been a near recluse, living initially with her extremely protective mother, Polly; a younger sister, Sarah "Sallie" Maria and her brother, Dr. John Minson Galt II, superintendent of what is now Eastern State Hospital, as his grandfather and father had been before him. Lizzie and Sallie Galt were unmarried.
In her life, Galt left Williamsburg only twice in 1835 and 1836, and only to travel as far as Richmond to visit family. For years, she lived upstairs in the home her father Alexander Galt purchased in 1823. Family descendants remained in the home on Francis Street until at least 1960 after it had been purchased by The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.
So reclusive was Galt that upon her death in 1854, Henry M. Denison, a rector of Bruton Parish Church wrote, "It was not my privilege ever to have seen her…," according to a 1985 College of William & Mary master's thesis, "Sallie and Elizabeth Galt: Compliance and Resistance to the 'Southern Lady' role in Antebellum Williamsburg" by Liza Pitzer Gusler, who still lives in Williamsburg and for many years has been on the staff of The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.
Galt's illness, though not "immediately debilitating, but it affected her personality and her interaction with the community," Gusler wrote. The nature of her malady is unclear, her brother called it a "nasal disease," and Galt family papers "contain occasional comments about her having cancer," Gusler added.
One of Galt's best friends early in her life was Mary Tyler, daughter of the soon-to-be U.S. President John Tyler, who lived not far from the Galts. Mary Tyler visited Lizzie and often urged her to get out of her home, but to no avail.
Even at home, Galt would host weekly gathering of single men and women to play word games and discuss literary topics. She recorded their witty conversations in journal books, Molineux explained.
Galt "did not discourage the attention lavished upon an invalid … she fostered the image appropriate for a woman of her station when she joked about her position as senior invalid of the family," Gusler wrote in her thesis.
In an undated letter, Galt wrote: "I am never sick enough to require attention, and always too much occupied to require amusement; and moreover I do not like that (Sallie) should usurp my prerogative of being the only invalid — quite a regal power in the household."
"Lizzie wrote poetry as a hobby, finding it solace from her maladies, and enjoyed local repute as a poet," Gusler wrote. Her work also was published in the Southern Literary Messenger, The Southern Churchman and Harper's Magazine.
Therefore, it was nearly earth-shaking news when Galt's poems appeared in the Gazette. She sent them with an introductory note to Thomas Martin, the Gazette editor, signing them as from "Miss E. J. G."
"Good Bye! Old Year — Memory alone is left to tell of thee. Sorrow sings the requiem of those losted hours, which have forever gone — gone to tell the tale of misspent time, unimproved talents, wasted opportunities. Golden opportunities, which, like golden coins from the spend-thrift's purse, have glided from us, leave but contrition, and remembranceds of what we might have done.
The old year like the moon of the Italian Poet, is the treasury of all that's lost; but there is no Astolfo' to penetrate the shadowy realm.
The Old Year
Thine were gentle words and hobble deeds
Thine were losses, sorrows, tears and crimes,
Unit in the sum of human life.
Item in the Calendar of Time.
Farewell! Old Year, farewell, farewell!
Like the flowing river to the sea,
Thou art gone with all the joy and woes,
To the Ocean of eternity.
Like the swift gliding of the waters,
In thy rapid and relentless flight,
Thou hast looked on varied landscapes,
With shadows dark, with sunshine bright.
Even as the river bears the ships
With the treasures of the earth and sea;
So righteous deeds are borne by thee,
To the ocean of eternity.
The New Year
New Year, thou Cornucopia of blessings!
Like children's horns-of-plenty for Christmastime,
When all without is cold, and dark, and drear.
Whitened with fleecy snow, still with rime.
The old and new year just have shaken hands,
And bid each other a polite adieu!
The poor old year, with sorrowing sign,
The new year with a smile of rosy hue.
Memory and Hope — the Old Year and the new;
On clad in black, and one in heavenly blue,
To one we bid a sad farewell, farewell!
And to the other, give a welcome true.
The Blue-bird is the harbinger of Spring —
Herald of Hope, art thou, happy New Year!
Bright guardian of the Future's treasure —
The Future is the time that's free from care.
Old Year! Sad type of our sojourn on earth;
New Year! Glad token of our bright home on High —
A home where time and toil will be forgotten!
A land of light and love beyond the sky."
"New Year's Day 1854 was an opportunity for Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Galt to ponder the measured passage of time and the natural passage of life until death," Molineux wrote in notes provided to the Gazette.
Galt also was possibly considering her own mortality. Four-and-a-half months later she died on May 16, 1854, just four days before her 38th birthday.

Trees vs fynbos
𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝟯𝟬 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟮. There's a war brewing in the Western Cape, where tensions have been on a knife's edge for decades. As climate change ravages the world, South Africa suffers too – and one of our most critical problems is the decreasing availability of water. Many experts say large plantations of trees not indigenous to the country are one of the major culprits in our shrinking water table; and that the survival of people, crops, and the unique fynbos biome is threatened by these alien species. On the other hand, some arborists believe that all trees are essential to maintain a proper ecological balance in the area. Carte Blanche takes to the skies for a bird's-eye view.

This book carving is completely one of a kind. I will not repeat images. What you see are the actual pages in the book. My process is to take away pages or portions of pages. This is all done by hand...xacto blades, tweezer and my glasses.
The outside of the book is bound (glued) shut so that it is one solid piece. The cover is free to open and close.
I chose to cut around existing images within the book that I thought were interesting.
Can be displayed on any shelf, table, mantle, dresser, etc...
