A rainbow has red on the outside, violet inside. The center of the arc, 40 degrees in radius, is always on line with the observer and the sun. When you see a rainbow, the sun is directly behind you. Sometimes a secondary rainbow forms. Its colors are fainter, and reversed, red inside, violet outside. kee 4 Playground leader Nancy Carscadden, instructs youngsters in the fine art of log cabin construction using popsicle sticks! -- Photo by M. Rowsell. By Nancy Carscadden "Do you want to play 7-Up or baseball? . . . Bobby, will you please stop pulling Cindy's hair? .. . Okay, it's lunch time every- BOdY so. By the sound of things, Playground 77 is in full swing for the first fun-filled summer of arts and crafts, films, organized games, sports, hikes and trips. Three qualified supervisors are running the program, Linda Weatherall, Kenna Paul and Nancy Carscadden. Volunteers and guests also show up from time to time to give an added touch. Already 97 children have registered in the program, each paying only a small $1.00 'belonging' fee. To relieve the monotony which summer means to some children, why not enroll them in our recreation program which is sponsored by our own Recreation Association and the Ministry of Culture and Recreat- ion? It's not too late. The playground began on July 4, and will continue until August 19, 1977. The program will be closed on August 1. (Civic Holiday), and on August 4 and 5, because of the Russell Fair which will be taking place on the grounds. A bus load of 59 children and supervisors headed out bright and early on the morning of July 14. Destination, Upper Canada Village and Crysler Beach. The day was enjoyed by all, and the visit to the historic village put a nice finish to "History Week."' Our thanks go out to the volunteers who made this trip possible. The children are also making regular visits to the Russell Public Library and Pool. On Wednesday, July 20th, we had the opportunity to view the Walt Disney film "Where The Red Fern Grows" It seemed very appropriate, tying in well with "Nature Week". A hike and scavenger hunt also were held that week, along with a "Clean-Up Russell'? morning. Yes, we're really keeping busy at Playground 77, and there's still loads more to come! So drop in and see us some day, we'd be glad to see you and to show you some of our crafts. Who knows? You may even get a chance to have a few turns at bat! Friday, August 5, 1977 Page 3 Russell Lion's Fastball Tournament The Russell Lion's 14th Annual Fastball Tournament, held July 14, 15, 16 and 17, was rained out before the final games could be played. A sudden late afternoon storm bringing 2.7 inches of rain and high winds put the diamonds under several inches of water and halted the tournament before either "A" Champion- ship or Consolation winners could be decided in both the Intermediate and Senior divis- ions. The annual tournament tradit- ionally brings the best fastball teams in the area to Russell. This year, there were 24 Intermediate teams and eight Senior teams. The good quality ball throughout the tournament attracted large crowds Saturday and Sunday until the storm hit. The Tournament organizers in consultation with team repre- sentatives decided to split the prize money equally between the finalists in all categories be- cause the games couldn't be rescheduled. In the Senior "A" event Ottawa Turpins and Brockville Commercial Stars split the prize money at $525 aN each. Kemptville A's who competed in Both Intermediate and Senior divisions - reached the Senior "B" along with Dan Kelley's 76'ers. These two clubs each received $225. In the Intermediate section, Lacroix Sports of Ottawa and Richmond Inn of the South Carleton League had just played an inning and one-half when the storm started. Each team received $425 for reaching the finals. In the Consolation round of the Intermediate division, Kemptville Jr. A's and Ogdens- berg, New York, each received $187.50 for their efforts. The Lions Club members worked hard before the tourn- ament to complete a new concession booth, washrooms, fencing around the diamonds and other improvements to the ball park. Co-chairmen, Jack James and Dean Loucks, would like to thank all Lions members who helped with the tournament as well as a special thank you to other people in the community who assisted. Jack James A Father's Plea A few weeks ago, | saw a little girl struck by a car as she tried to cross the street. | saw a father race toward her and hold her to him as she struggled in the agony of death. | saw all the plans that had been made for her dashed, and | saw the look of despair that came over his face. | could only offer a prayer that such a thing might never happen again. Today, my daughter, who is six years old, started off to school. Tonight we talked about school. She told me about the girl who sits in front of her, a girl with yellow curls, and about the boy across the aisle who makes faces; about the teacher who has eyes in the back of her head about the trees in the school yard, and the big girl who does not believe in Santa Claus. We talked about a lot of things, tremendously vital and unimportant things. Now, as this is written, she is sound asleep with her doll 'Paddy' in her arms. When her doll gets broken or her finger gets cut or her head gets bumped, | can fix them. But when she starts across the street -- then, Mr. Driver, she is in your hands. Much as | wish | could, it's not possible for me to be with her all the time. | have to work to pay for her home, her clothes, her education. So, Mr. Driver, please help me look out for her. Please drive slowly past schools and at inter- sections. And please remember that sometimes children run from behind parked cars. Please don't run over my little girl. With deepest thanks for what- ever you can do for her, | am, Very sincerely yours, 'Father' (This letter appeared in the Milton Champion and was forwarded to us by Bobby Eldridge. ) x 1 Nyt NC hE 495 RUE NOTRE-DAME STREET, Grégoire's...
