The members sit under the roof of the Lions Pavilion, named in their honour as the funds donated to the municipality came from their hard work, and which will soon be all hustle and bustle as ball teams vie for ‘A’ and ‘B’ supremacy on Haweater Weekend. The land on which the Lions Pavilion sits, Low Island Park, was also once in the hands of the club until it was gifted to the charge of the municipality for the price of $1. On the south side of the park lies Nolan Sisson Park, a multiuse area created for the youth of this community and which also received a generous Lions Club donation as has, in the past, the swimming docks which were full of happy folks of all ages, cooling down on a hot summer night. “The Lions Club was started by a group of businessmen and has evolved into a group of people who enjoy doing good works,” said President Steve Nunn as he surveyed the happy group. Lion Steve recently took over the president’s job from Lion Bruce Burnett, a role he’s held in the past four different times in his 17 years as a Lion. The president noted that when he first joined the club, fundraising was a far easier task, but that it gets harder and harder with each passing year as more groups emerge, all jockeying for the same few dollars. But the Lions Club is an important one to support, he added. “People should continue to support the club’s endeavours as we give a lot of money away each year to benefit the people and groups in this community.” Lion Steve noted that his greatest joy as a Lion is not the large giveaways that get the club press in the paper, but rather the gifts that mean so much to an individual s ’ i r a k Pun Proprietor Dave Punkari (705) 859-1173 Thank you to the Lions for all of their hard work in preparing for Haweater Weekend!

Lion Steve said joining the club is one of the best decisions he has made, as the friendships he has forged will last a lifetime and the sense of accomplishment he gets from helping others just can’t be beat. “Someone once told me that the Lions Club was like a second tier of government after the municipality,” he commented. “I asked them, ‘what do you mean?’ and they responded, ‘if the town won’t pay for it the club probably will!’” he laughed, gesturing to the pavilion. Donations, large and small, add up. Over the past year the club has donated upwards of $50,000 to individuals, the Manitoulin Health Centre, seniors’ programs and various organizations and committees. This money, he explained, is thanks to the support of individuals and businesses, whether they purchase Nevada tickets from K&T Variety, attend the Hawfest, sponsor Haweater Weekend or put a hockey team in the Winterfest hockey tourna- ment. “And none of this would be possible without the dedicated members of this Lions Club,” the president added. Lion Steve noted his predecessor, Lion Bruce, and his hard work and commitment each year as Haweater chair, joking about the binder always at Lion Bruce’s side known as the ‘Haweater bible.’ “He’s carried it above and beyond anyone’s expectation—it’s more than anyone ever imagined it would be,” the president said. “Haweater started as a homecoming weekend with a few hundred people and now it boasts thousands of people on the Sunday night. I’m not sure that was ever expected by that first group.” “In the year to come I hope we have a successful Haweater, Winterfest and other small fundraisers that helps the club along so we can continue to donate to worthy charities and the people of this community,” the president said of the upcoming year. “If it wasn’t for the dedicated Lions in the club this weekend would never be Licenced under LLBO The staff of Garry’s Family Restaurant salute the Little Current Lions Club on 46 fabulous years of Hawfest! 368-3370 A M E N U F O R A L L TA S T E B U D S Hwy. 6, Top of the Hill, Little Current Air Conditioned for your comfort!

Cardboard boat race marks 10th anniversary this year LITTLE CURRENT—How time flies when you’re having fun! This Haweater Weekend marks the 10th annual cardboard boat race, which is always a crowd favourite for festivalgoers. The cardboard boat race anniversary coincides with that of the MacMan Challenge, also in its 10th year, as the event was started as a fun way to get the community involved in the inaugural yacht race. Fun it was, and as the MacMan was initially to be held every other year in Little Current, the Little Current Lions Club asked if they could borrow the event for its big weekend, which the Little Current Yacht Club gratefully allowed, and there the boat races have stayed, an integral part of the new Haweater tradition. “What makes the cardboard boat races so great is that it really is an event for all ages—something young and old alike can do—from the construction of the boat to the actual race day,” said Amanda Roy, part of Team Cardboard. “It’s so amazing to see the shoreline at the Low Island docks fill up with people each year, eager to see the hits and misses of the cardboard boat races,” added Team Cardboard’s Alicia McCutcheon. One of the prizes, the Titanic Award, goes to the crew with the “most spectacular sinking,” the pair explained. Fittingly, the prize for this special award is always a pair of lifejackets. Four categories make up the races: ages 8-11, 12-15, 16 plus and business. Last year’s business winner was the crew from Hayden’s Meats, the trophy proudly on display at this Little Current butcher shop. Hayden’s Meats took the title from long-time winners Tim’s and Co. RONA, which reused its sturdy vessel for a number of years. Who will take this year’s title? Head to Low Island at 12 noon on Saturday, August 3 to find out. Entry forms/rules can be picked up at The Expositor office or at K&T Variety and must be filled out before race day. Team Cardboard reminds entrants that sonotubes are not allowed in the competition, as they are not technically cardboard. Cardboard tubes are allowed, as long as they are not waxed. The only materials allowed for construction are corrugated cardboard, duct tape and latex paint. Decorations, however, are encouraged, as long as they do not enhance the structure/flotation of the boat. Paddle blades must also be only made of cardboard and duct tape, but wood is allowed for the shafts. A traditional boat design must be followed as well—rafts are a no go. For more information, contact Ms. McCutcheon at 705-368-2744. “We would really like to thank all of our family and friends that help us each and every year,” Ms. Roy added. “Without them we’d be sunk.” • Art Gallery • Authentic Native Crafts • Garneau and Padraig Slippers YEARS IN LITTLE CURRENT • Museum • Clothing FAMILY OWNED SINCE 1879 WWW.TURNERS.CA • Blankets • Gifts Galore Drop by and visit Canada’s Oldest Chart Room!

New to the Haweater lineup this year is magician and ventriloquist John Hopman who, he explained, developed a love for magic and ventriloquism at the tender age of 6 while watching Detroit Public Television on a black and white television. Sixty years later, Mr. Hopman has toured Ontario, Michigan, Ohio and most of the western provinces with his show. "It's a fun clean show," he explained. "It also incorporates audience participation," he added, noting that one lucky audience member can expect to be turned into a full-size ventriloquist’s 'dummy.' Speaking of dummies, the audience can also look forward to meeting Mr. Hopman's friends Leroy, Crackers the duck, Boscoe the bear and more. "It's a good show for boys and girls and the young and young at heart," he added. Mr. Hopman can be seen on Saturday at 10 am and 3:30 pm at the cenotaph and again on Sunday at 11 am at the Holy Trinity Anglican Church Hall and at 2 pm back at the cenotaph.

Over the last decade, the sport of flat-track roller derby, which gained a following in the 1970s for its televised bouts and stars like Skinny Minnie Miller, has gained in popularity to become the fastest growing women’s sport in the world. And, on August 3, the action will be coming to Haweater Weekend. Greater Sudbury Roller Derby (GSRD) will play at the Little Current Curling Club on Saturday, August 3, starting at 7 pm. Admission to the bout (game) is free of charge, but donations to the Dragonfly Fund or the CTVLions Children’s Christmas Telethon are greatly appreciated. All are welcome to attend. “This will be a great chance for the family to come out and see what roller derby is all about,” said GSRD president Crystal Larose. “It’s a fast sport with lots of action and great entertainment for parents, kids, grandparents and anyone who wants to see something new.” Fans of derby in the early years who enjoyed the allout brawls of the televised version may not recognize today’s sport, which puts an emphasis on athleticism and strategy, and is governed by a strict set of rules standardized by the World Flat-Track Roller Derby Association (WFTDA). But the general premise is the same: two teams of five players each take to an oval track, playing offence and defence at the same time, while a jammer from each team tries to score points. The team with the most points at the end of the game is the winner. For many skaters, the opportunity to make new friends and excel at something new holds big appeal. Before joining derby, few skaters have had much experience on skates. The great thing about roller derby is that anyone can learn it, and GSRD guides all its new recruits through everything they need to know about the sport, including the rules of the game, strategy, and how to play safely. “I joined derby to make new friends, get involved in the community and challenge myself to try something new,” said former Expositor staffer Lindsay Kelly, who’s been skating for a year and a half. “The sport is a lot of fun, and it’s helped me find new strength I didn’t know I had.” Roller derby is known for its camaraderie amongst skaters, and after a game, it’s not uncommon to find new friendships emerge between players of opposing teams—the rivalry always stays on the track. GSRD also has a social conscience. Formed with the intention of giving back to the community in a positive way, GSRD works in support of the Dragonfly Fund, a Sudbury-based organization that offers financial assistance to those who are facing financial hardship after being newly diagnosed with breast cancer. The skaters appear at community events through the year where they promote breast health, fitness and friendship, while raising money for the fund. In 2013, the league will donate 50 percent of its ticket sales to the fund. Last year, GSRD donated $3,000 to the Dragonfly Fund, all which stayed Come on down to Little Current Curling Club on Saturday, August 3 before 7pm to see for yourselves that this is not merely pushing and shoving; itʼs strategy! in the North.
