Callour newsroom. at 527-0240 Finlayson wins NWHL Championship Jeff Heuchert 611111111111 After finishing four years at the University of .Windsor where she played varsity hockey, Seaforth's Jessica Finlayson returned home, not expecting to even play hockey this past fall. Jump ahead seven months to today. Twenty -three-year-old Finlayson is back at home again, this time from . Montreal, where as a member of the Montreal . Axion she won the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL,) Championship. The opportunity -arose back in September, when out of the blue Finlayson received a call from a few of her former university teammates who had joined the Axion. They said the team was looking for another defenceman. And just like that Finlayson packed her bags and headed to Montreal. "It was a big change. Everything was in French and almost every- body (on the team) was kind of bilingual but me," she says. "It was like a whole other world. I feel like I learned so much while I was there though," she adds. The Axion defeated the Brampton Thunder 1-0 to capture the championship over Easter weekend. It was the first champi- onship for Montreal and the first time a Quebec based team had won. During the championship game, Finlayson had to face off against a famil- iar face - Seaforth's Kathy Devereaux. "It was fine. She was just another player on the ice," says Finlayson, adding "it was cool to have two Seaforth players on the ice." The NWHL consists of eight teams from across Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia.

At this time, a preferred strategy for the planned sewer improvements has been developed. The key components of the plan are outlined below and are generally illustrated on the accompanying key plan. Proposed Sewer Improvements: - Replace existing trunk sewers situated along Coleman Street and sections of Crombie Street with larger diameter trunk sewers. The new sewers would be constructed within the existing road allowances and would be designed to accommodate existing and future development within the related sanitary catchment areas. This work would be carried out in phases and in conjunction} with road reconstruction activities. - Construct a new sanitary sewer outlet from a connection point near the intersection of Crombie and Coleman Streets to an existing trunk sewer located along Oak Street. This 300 m t section of sewer would replace an existing sewer outlet which extends between the Crombie Street/ Coleman Street intersection and Oak Street (beneath Silver Creek). The new sewer outlet would be constructed within both existing and new servicing easements and would not require a crossing of Silver Creek. It is anticipated that this project would be carried out concurrently with the Coleman Street road reconstruction. The project is following the planning process set out for Schedule B activities under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) document. Schedule B projects are approved subject to a screening process which involves consulta- tion with public and review agencies to ensure the project can be carried out in an environmentally -sound manner. The screening process has been completed for the project. There were no negative impacts identified with the proposed works that could not be mitigated. Subject to any comments received as a result of this Notice, and the receipt of necessary approvals, the Municipality of Huron East intends to proceed with the project.

If environmental concerns arise regarding this project which cannot be resolved in discussion with the Municipality, a person or party may request that the Minister of the Environment make an order for the project to comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act which addresses individual environmental assessments. Requests must be received by the Minister at the address below within 30 calendar days of this Notice. A copy of the request must also be sent to the consult- ingengineers at the address above. If there is no request received by June 2, 2006, the work will proceed as planned.

Olympic team play in the league along with many American players. "Going into such a high level of play I was nervous. But I was over- whelmed with the amount of ice time I got," she says. And most importantly, Finlayson says she's happy with what she was able to accomplish on the ice. "I feel like I helped the team out and we had a lot of fun." Finlayson also had the opportuni- ty to compete at the nationals in Halifax, alongside her Montreal teammates and says it was an expe- rience she will never forget. "It was huge. There was like 5,000 people there," she says. Finlayson admits, as much fun as she had in Montreal, there really is no place like home. "It was an amazing experience. We were living in this beautiful city, but I'm not a big city girl," she says. "I'm happy to be home." But, that's not to say living in Montreal wasn't a valuable experi- ence, especially if Finlayson decides to return to the Axion next season. "My French is a whole lot better now," she says.
