DeWit says Cape Canaveral trip was 'awesome' By Janice Becker Citizen staff If former Brussels resident Cynthia De Wit had one word to describe her trip of a life time to Cape Canaveral, it would be "awesome. The Conestoga College student earned an invitation to the launch of the latest shuttle to lift off from Florida when her patch design won a contest. Her patch went with Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield on an his- toric mission. Hadfield was to be the first Canadian to walk in space when he helped secure Canadarm H to the international space station. Part of her award for winning the competition was an invitation for two to the launch, but, said De Wit, four invitations were secured for her so other family members could also attend. The one-week trip to Florida for De Wit, her twin sister and parents went very quickly, she said. Arriving on the evening of April 18, De Wit's first duty was a CBC Newsworld interview, at which time she was presented with an actual patch. It was "much more real then", she said, as the patch had dimension and texture, rather then just the paper artwork she had dealt with. Following the interview, De Wit was informed by her interviewer that she had not stopped rubbing the patch the entire time. She had also participated in a CBC radio interview at 6:30 a.m. before leaving for Florida. On the first full day in the south, De Wit and her family watched the clock count down, listened to the astronauts completing the final checks and wit- nessed the launch. Though they were some distance from the launch pad, De Wit said she could feel the shock waves. "I. could feel my hair move. An amazing amount of light came off the shuttle." Prior to the launch, the De Wits attended a breakfast reception where they heard the astronauts speak from isolation as well as several guest speakers including Federal Minister Brian Tobin. She was quite taken by the number of patches she saw being worn during her visits as children of employees from the Canadarm manufacturer had them as did many others invited to the launch. "They were everywhere." The following .day included a VIP tour of the Kennedy Space Centre, a stop by the launch pad where the singed grass was evident and some relaxation time at Coco Beach. The rest of the vacation was spent doing family activities such as visiting Cyprus Gardens, Epcot Centre and touring the state. Of her 15 minutes of fame, De Wit said her year as 1999 Brussels Fair ambassador was an asset. "It helped with my composure, public speaking and comfort in meeting people," she said. "I felt able to hardle things well." Letters to the Editor THE EDITOR, I am writing to you in response to the letter you printed from Shari Cartwright. I am chairperson of the 1st Brussels Scouting in Brussels and a mother to one of the boys going to P.E.I. I know my son and the other boys have worked very hard as had all the other members of our group to try to raise the money to send these boys. Even though everyone has had to pitch in to send these boys, we as a group and their leaders, as well as District have put certain criteria on these individuals to attend C.J. These boys have met those conditions to go. We just did not want the kids who could afford to go, just be able to and not put forth the effort and commit- ment that money can buy. We don't have a large group like 1st Blyth and others in our District but _ we do have three Scouts, along with the support of their parents, families, leaders and community supporting them, to go to P.E.I. As a group we were very upset at Ms Cartwright's letter.Our boys have attended a pre-Jam camp which was held on April 20-22 with the 1st Exeter group and we know C.J. hap- pens only every four years. That's why we think it's important for these individuals to attend. I wasn't personally there when the boys got their pictures taken but the purpose was to thank all the support- ers and the community. We also want- ed to keep the community informed, so when we do our fundraisers they know what we are up to and what the money is going towards. We in -Scouting support all groups and want to encourage positive rela- tionships between leaders and the kids and all the other groups in our organization. We felt that the letter was somewhat negative and some things needed clarification which I would have been more than happy to do. Sincerely yours in Scouting, Evelyn Gulutzen. THE EDITOR, Since April 22 was Earth Day, the following poem is food for thought. Our World The world is full of beauty, Of kindness, joy and love, Of soft green grass to walk on, The azure sky above, Of birds that sing and warble, Fresh air and endless sea, All there to make us happy, All there for you and me. But now this earthly heaven, Is threatened by a foe, As once there came a serpent, To Eden years ago. Some streams have been polluted, Our fish supply won't last, We can't go swimming safely, As we used to in the past. And what of land abuses, Removing helpful trees, But not replacing them? Our cities and our townships That used to have just fog Are going downhill quickly With their poison-laden smog. Now man has caused these prob- lems, So man (that's me and you), Can give us back our land, Clean air and water too. Unknown Lois van Vliet.
