Page 10 Meditorial By Rev. Jim Paul An intriguing event is coming to Arnprior Civic Centre this summer; Christian Athlete Hockey Camps based in Beaconsfield, Quebec is organizing a summer hockey school. Its unique focus is the develop- ment of the whole person. The pro-staff, Doug Jarvis, Ron Ellis, Dave Forbes, Fred Barrett, all are committed Christians and are coming not only to help the boys improve their athletic skills, but to also develop positive character qualities and grow some spiritual muscles. For some the National Hockey League is a platform for fame, fortune and fighting, but for others it's a sacred arena where Christ can be displayed and His Word honoured. . At a recent Christian Athlete Hockey Camp, Ron Ellis of the Toronto Maple Leafs put it like this -- "I played hockey for twelve years before I realized that I needed something to really fulfill my life. I really wish that I had made my deci- sion when I was young. The Lord can be a tremendous strength to you, not only in your sports, your family life and whatever walk of life you end up being involved in. If you have questions ask them. Don't wait until you are thirty years old like I did."' When you realize the testimony these professional hockey players have with young lives and their commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ and His Church, how could so many men perpetuate the lie that Chris- tianity is only for women, children and the weak. On the contrary, the manliest of men are those who have surrendered their lives to Jesus. Anyone can follow the crowd, go drinking with the boys, and curse like a soldier, but it takes a real man to stand up for Jesus. Castor Valley --g-- Baptist Church ~~, Minister-- Rev.

Francis Fox, P.C., M.P., says that his Government has started the draft of the Freedom of Infor- mation Bill which I had the honour to introduce in the Clark Government. The Trudeau Government's Bill has not been introduced and there has: been no definitive word as to what it will contain in terms of freedom of information. I believe this Bill is an impor- tant one and it is equally imporant that there be no back-sliding on the concept of independent judicial review of any decision to withhold information that would otherwise be permitted to be released under the Act. The concept of independent judicial review was the insurance policy that the decision on release would not be reviewed by the peo- ple who had made the decision not to release the information in the first place. It is an understatement to say that such back-slidings would be a regressive step in the march to open this in Government. 'Greely When the members of the medical profession begin to ut- ter discouraging words about the state of a person's health and suggest that the end of one's literary career is just around the corner -- even though it's just begun -- plans for the future seem rather uncertain. Since this may be my last ar- ticle for the Castor Review, it is best that I clear up some un- finished business. In the last article I mentioned the names of a few little known local places with a promise to pro- vide more information at a later date. Dawson was a post office near the present location of St. John's Church on the old Prescott Road. Herbert's Cor- ners was the location of an elementary school on the same road about two miles further north. Waller post office was on Lot 5, Concession 2 of Osgoode Township, near the Manotick Station Road. Limebank school was at the intersection of Rideau and Limebank roads in Gloucester Township. Chaudiere Junction fea a small station at the junc- Grist \A Laying it onthe line >») ~ of what is now Cahill Drive. tion of the two branches of the Prescott CP Railway leading into Ottawa. The two branches joined near Walkley Road with one line going to the old Union Station at Rideau Street and the other going to the old Broad Street station in Ottawa West. The name was later changed to Ellwood, which may be traced back to two ear- ly farmers, William Ellis and John Wood, who lived side by side on the old Metcalfe Road (now Highway 31,) just south Bray Station was a small flag station on the CPR, midway between Manotick Station and Osgoode. Sabourin was another flag station a few miles south of Osgoode. There were no agents at the flag stations and prospective passengers had to set up a flag to stop the train. As one who enjoyed most of 36 years in the teaching profes- sion and in this proves to be my last epistle, may I conclude by saying: "Old grammar _ teachers never die. "They just parse away."'

METCALFE WINCHESTER 821-2120 774-2120 CHESTERVILLE 448-2120 Apr. 18, the members of the Com- munity Christian School Associa- tion elected three new members to their Board of Directors.

Mr. John Bouwers, Chairman of the Finance Committee, presented the budget for the 1980-81 year. One _ interesting feature of the budget was a tuition fee averaging $1,200 per family. The membership passed the budget unanimously. Also passed unanimously, was a motion to open the Community Christian School in a two room rural school building at Herbert's Corners. happy to learn that the Carleton Roman Catholic School Board has offered them the use of the school which they no longer need. Mr. Keith Lapsley addressed the membership for the first time since his appointment as principal of the new school. In his talk, he stressed three main points: a) the importance of developing high academic standards, b) the impor- tance of parental involvement and most importantly, c) the impor- tance of Coll. 1:8 "...that in all things He might have preeminence."
