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.
