Photo submitted Enduring the | Quebec quest SUN SPORTS STAFF It doesn't take someone with a master’s degree in Canadian geography to tell you that Nanaimo to Quebec City is a long way. But if you were think- ing about making the trip by bike, you might want to talk to some- one with a master's degree in psychiatry. Louise Charland isn't crazy. In fact, she is an extremely intelli- gent French teacher at the Nanaimo Montessori School But now school is out in Nanaimo and Charland has decided to cycle from Nanaimo to Quebec City and hopefully arrive in time to celebrate her father’s birthday on August 22 Charland’s trip started on June 17 and her two month journey will take her through 17 different cities including Castlegar. But the most interesting aspect of the trek is the interest her students have shown. In order to cheer Charland on her long trip, her students have sent letters to each of the news- papers along her way asking them to inform the public of her presence. “Louise started biking about a year ago, and her joy and passion of riding a bicycle has brought her to decide on her long journey to Quebec,” writes 10 year-old Kieran Johnson and Kimberly Cioban along with nine-year-old Zoe Weir and Paul Winder. “Louise is a fairly experienced biker, she bikes every single day and enjoys it very much. “When Louise is biking she feels comfortable, happy and nothing can bother her, she tends to smile a lot.” They ask that if you see Char- land on the road to give her a cheer and a wave in support. The kids suggest shouting “Allez Louise” or “Keep it up Louise”. Charland plans on making the 6,100 kilometre trip in around 61 days. She is expected to be stop- ping in Castlegar around June 23 Other destinations on her cross- Canada adventure include Lake Louise, Calgary, Drumheller, Moose Jaw, Regina, Winnipeg, Swan River and Sault St. Marie. Terra Nova takes top spot in the rain With Trail Times sources A week of rain greeted West Kootenay Fastball players as they took to the fields last week and it made for some interesting activity. The biggest story of the week was the rise of Terra Nova to top spot in the league with a close 2-1 victory over the cellar-dwelling Big O Tire Castlegar on Tuesday night at Kinnaird Park. Terra Nova captured the top spot from the Castlegar Cobras who went down to defeat at the hands of Hanks on Wednesday night in Montrose. Terra Nova 2 at Big O Cast 1 It has been a long hard season for the young Castlegar Big O Tire team who only have a single win and a tie to their credit this season. Meanwhile, Terra Nova has been tearing up the opposition which had many feeling this would be a made-to-order blowout. Terra Nova came out strong in the first but were held off by the strong pitching of Castlegar ace pitcher Tim Horcoff and some good defence. But Horcoff couldn’t keep a handle on all the Terra Nova big guns and John Motta came through in the second with a solo blast giving Terra Nova the lead. Terra Nova’s game-winning run came in the fifth inning as FIND IT IN THE CLASSIFIEDS | a= as eed not eeepiogectnor igre odimortiagy | SUMMER BREAK SPECIAL 2 MO. wolght pkg.
