A young Blyth athlete received the
Don (Boom) Gravett Memorial
Bursary Award at the annual meeting
of the Western Ontario Athletic
Association last Monday evening.
Tyler Stewart, 20,-son of Don and
Linda Stewart, was presented the
award by Don Gravett's widow,
Mary, and son, Gary.
The F. E. Madill Secondary School
graduate is enrolled in the Human
Resources and Police Foundations
program at Fanshawe College in
London. Upon completion of the
course he hopes to attend Police
College to eventually become an
Ontario Provincial Police officer.
Between 1986 and 2000 Stewart
played minor hockey and softball in
Blyth and has also umpired softball
and coached minor hockey.
He received letters of recommen-
dation from Jeff Peters of Blyth,
Const. Russ Nesbitt of the OPP,
Steven Sparling of Sparling's
Propane and from the Wingham
ambulance service.
According to the letter from
Peters, Stewart has assisted at the
local fall hockey school and worked
well with both the leaders and the
young children participating.
The letter indicates Stewart dress-
es appropriately as a coach, is punc-
tual, runs a well-planned coaching
program and has respect for the
young players. •
The letter from Nesbitt indicated
Stewart was willing to help with any
situation, performed any job request-
ed of him proficiently and without
complaint. Nesbitt willingly accept-
ed Stewart's request to go on a ride-
along during a working shift.
Nesbitt said Stewart dealt with the
public and was kind and pleasant to
everyone he spoke with.
Sparling indicated Stewart was a
valued member of the company's
summer crew for two years, retiring
in April 2000 to work a summer at
the family business.
The summer crew at Sparling's
consisted of hard working responsi-
ble students and young adults. They
work with minimum supervision and
are encouraged to develop leadership
and team skills.
The letter from the Wingham
Ambulance Service said Stewart has
ambition and is a self-starter. He has
the attitude, confidence and willing-
ness to overcome any adversity,
In accepting the bursary award,
Stewart thanked the Gravett family
and the WOAA.
