The Kathy O’Rourke rink were the winners of the Team of the Year honours at the PEI Curling Association’s annual ADL/Sport PEI Curling Awards tonight at the Charlottetown Curling Club. The team, which includes skip Kathy O’Rourke, who throws second stone, Erin Carmody, who throws fourth, third stone Geri-Lynn Ramsay, and lead Tricia Affleck, were the first PEI team ever to play in a final game at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts Canadian women’s curling championships. Other nominees in the category were last year’s winners, the Brett Gallant foursome, and the Sarah Fullerton team, provincial junior women’s champions. Carmody and O’Rourke were also co-winners in the Female Adult category. Gallant, who set a record this season for the most wins at the junior nationals, won the Junior Male category, while Fullerton won the Junior Female honours. The O’Rourke and Gallant teams are from the Charlottetown Curling Club, while Fullerton is from Cornwall.
Other winners were Rod MacDonald, skip of both the Provincial Men’s and Senior Men’s championship teams, who won the Adult Male honours, Matthew MacLean from the Maple Leaf Curling Club in O’Leary, who won the age 15 and under Junior Male category, and Veronica Smith of Cornwall, who took the 15 and Under Junior Female award. Glen MacLean from the Maple Leaf, who coached several winning teams in the junior age categories, won the coach of the year honours, while Cliff Poirier of Summerside won the Official of the Year category. Audrey Callaghan, a volunteer for many years at the Western Community Curling Club in Alberton, and on the PEI Curling Association Board of Directors, won for Volunteer of the Year, while a special recognition award was given to Marilyn Sutherland, long-time curling coach and Master Course Conductor for the PEICA.
Certificates were also given out to the sponsors of the provincial curling championships, in recognition for their continued support for PEI curling. The PEICA’s Annual General Meeting was held in advance of the awards ceremony, with the current slate of officers returning for another curling season. There will be a new Executive Director next year, with Stephen Marchbank leaving to concentrate solely on basketball, and Amy Duncan taking over the PEICA Executive Director reins.

The Canadian Curling Association (CCA) and the PEI Curling Association (PEICA) have just launched revitalized versions of their Curling.ca and PEICurling.com websites – providing an exciting new range of features to keep you in touch with the sport.
The new Curling.ca website is the ultimate source for everything related to the roaring game.

Now you can link up with curling news and events on their Facebook Fan Page and their Twitter account.

They’ll be hosting a number of contests throughout the coming season for Facebook and Twitter fans.
Plus, they’ll be bringing you regularly featured Blogs from some of the most fascinating personalities in the game… including Olympic Silver medalist Cheryl Bernard, Olympic Gold medalist John Morris, Jean Mills, author of Abbey and the Curling Chicks, and Mort Cooper with the latest news on the Little Rocks program.
As another new feature, they’ll be profiling Athletes of the Week for Men, Women and Junior curlers across the country beginning in September through to the end of April.

Scholarship
Curl Atlantic has implemented a scholarship to curlers who have enrolled full time in a post secondary institution. The intention of these awards is to allow talented athletes to devote primary sources of time and energy to training, rather than extensive employment in order to fund post-secondary education. Recipients will be expected to devote a full-time, shared commitment to sport and education exclusively. This award is not intended to reward past achievements but rather a means to pursue further achievements that surpass the current level of performance. Priority will be given to athletes attending Atlantic universities, colleges or vocational schools.
Please complete the following application and forward to the Executive Director of Curl Atlantic, Leslie Anne Walsh (curlatlantic2001@gmail.com), by May 30th, 2010. Along with your application please include a copy of your university or high school transcript and one other letter of reference other than your coach. Disbursement of funds to the successful applicants should occur on October 1, 2010, upon receipt of enrolment confirmation.

Capital Works Grant
The Trustees of the Joyce Myers Trust Fund created the Capital Acquisition Grants as a means to assist member curling clubs within Atlantic Canada with capital projects.
Expenses that are of a special and/or extraordinary nature will be eligible for funding. In other words, programs and initiatives that are both unusual and occur infrequently; they are not part of the regular, day-to-day operation of the club. Listed below are a few possibilities:
- The repair, replacement, purchase or construction of a curling facility or part of a curling facility. For example, the repair or replacement of a curling club roof;
- The repair, replacement or purchase of a plant asset or piece of equipment. For example, the repair or replacement of ice making equipment.
- The purchase of special curling equipment. For example, the purchase of little rocks for a junior curling program;
- Exempt from funding are any expenses of an operational nature. For example, membership dues, utility and tax bills do not qualify.
Curling clubs that are members of Curl Atlantic through their affiliation with their Provincial Association are eligible to apply. The application consists of a letter, prepared on club letterhead, which outlines the non-operational, special projects being undertaken by the club for which funds are required. Total expenses and a brief description of the planned projects should be provided. Please complete the following application and forward to the Executive Director of Curl Atlantic, Leslie Anne Walsh (curlatlantic2001@gmail.com) , by May 30th, 2010.

Olympic and two-time World curling champion Russ Howard was the guest speaker at the banquet of the Curl Atlantic Curling Symposium, which took place this weekend at Mount Allison University in Sackville New Brunswick. His speech included recollections on his Olympics competition in Torino in 2006 and of the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver where he worked as a TSN commentator. He challenged Atlantic Canada curlers to set up a curling excellence centre like the one in Edmonton, and to work at improving ice conditions in the region, which would improve the playing experience for both competitive and recreational curlers. He also noted that the lack of experience on arena ice has a negative effect on Atlantic curling teams, who need the first few games at national competitions to adjust to the unfamiliar ice conditions.
Howard presented this year’s Investors Group Sport Volunteer Administrator Award to PEI Curling Association President Shirley Lank, who was honoured by Curl Atlantic for her dedication and service to the sport, both in PEI and across the Atlantic region.
