The President of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul at the St. Francis of Assisi Church here in Cornwall and their Cornwall Food Bank Committee has sent us this card expressing their gratitude to our Club members for the kind donations to their food bank this past holiday season.
Thanks again to all our members for their donations!
On Friday afternoon at the Montague Curling Club, defending PEI Masters (age 60+) men’s champ Lou Nowlan and his team from the Silver Fox got off to a good start toward putting his name on the PEI Masters Champions trophy for the 16th time, by winning the first of three men’s Modified Triple Knockout draws and a spot in the PEI Masters Championship Round with a 9-4 win over Cornwall’s Bill Hope foursome.
Lou Nowlan (in blue) delivers a rock, while Earle Proude sweeps, and Alan Montgomery keeps an eye on the line in the “A” Qualifier Game Friday afternoon
The game was actually extremely close, tied up going into the seventh end, but a steal of five points by Team Nowlan in that end gave him the lead and Hope was unable to recover.
Shirley Berry watches her rock in “A” Qualifier action Friday afternoon
The Shirley Berry squad from Cornwall won the women’s “A” Qualifier 7-3 over five-time defending women’s champ and Cornwall clubmate Sandy Hope. Berry stole a deuce and two singles to lead 4=0 after three. Hope came back with a single and a deuce to narrow the gap to 4-3 after 5, but Berry did the same, leading 7-3 coming home and ran Hope out of rocks in the eighth.
In the opening draw, Nowlan beat Clair Sweet and his team from the Maple Leaf Curling Club in O’Leary 8-1 while Hope recorded two 4-enders in a 12-4 win over clubmate Paul Arsenault in men’s play, and Berry beat Montague’s Bev Harding and her host club team 8-5, aided by a 5 point 5th end.
Play resumes Saturday with the “B” semi-finals at 9:30 am and the “B” Qualifiers at 2 pm. The “C” division games go Sunday at the same times, while the two-game championship round goes in the same time slots on Monday
Under the modified triple knockout format, a team can win more than one section, If a team wins all three sections, they will be declared champions without playing the championship round. A two-section winner will have a “double life” in the championship round, and win the event if they take either section, while their opponent, the winner of the other section, would have to win both.
The men’s and women’s winning teams, or finalist teams if they are unable to attend, earn the right to compete in the 2021 Canadian Masters Curling Championships, November 17-21, 2021 at the Pembina Curling Club in Winnipeg, Man.

Teams in both divisions of the PEI Masters will play a modified triple knockout format, with draws daily at 9:30 am and 2 pm from Friday Jan. 22 through the two-game championship round on Monday the 25th. Under the modified triple knockout format, a team can win more than one section, If a team wins all three sections, they will be declared champions without playing the championship round. A two-section winner will have a “double life” in the championship round, and win the event if they take either section, while their opponent, the winner of the other section, would have to win both.

Explanation for MA/WA and MB/WB:
1. If one team wins all three qualifiers: Championship Round is not required.
2. If one team wins two qualifiers. They play in both MA or WA and MB or WB (and win the event if they win either game). The other section winner plays in MA or WA and has to win to advance to MB or WB.
3. If there are three separate winners: the team that played in the most qualifying games* advances to MB or WB, and the other winners play off in MA or WA. If there is a tie in the number of qualifying games played, then the team that qualified earliest goes to MB or WB and the other two teams play off in MA or WA.
*Qualifying games have yellow background for game number on the schedule.

From now until Easter we have prime time curling ice available most Saturdays for any group size up to 32!
Our facility is wheelchair accessible right down to ice level.
Pricing is similar to (and perhaps a little cheaper than) bowling. A group of 16 friends, family, or co-workers can rent two sheets for two hours (an eight end game, or a 6-end game with half an hour of practice) for $12.22 per person, taxes in!
We have a fully-stocked bar, and curling brooms and sliders are available for use. You will need to bring clean sneakers, and wear stretchy pants and a light jacket.
Pricing (call for other variations):

The Cornwall Curling Club, like most curling facilities, tightly schedules its draws so that curlers don’t have to curl late at night, or right after work. Because of this, we allocate 15 minutes per end of curling, or 2 hours for a normal eight-end draw. In order to ensure that this happens, we ring a buzzer approximately 15 minutes before the end of the allotted time slot. When the buzzer sounds, we ask you to finish up the end you are on, and then take the rocks back to the home end if necessary. In other words, you have to be in the hack throwing your first rock in your last end by 15 minutes before the end of the allotted timeslot in order to get all the ends in. In order to keep things fair, we do this on the late evening draw as well as the early draw, to ensure that everyone is treated equally and you aren’t here too late at night. Whenever possible — i.e. there is a bartender on duty — the Board of Directors has voted to use the buzzer for all draws.
Here are some tips to help you get eight ends in:
Other suggestions:
– don’t waste time on easy-to-decide shots such as single hits. Save your strategy sessions for the tough shots with many rocks in play.
— NEVER set up rocks for the other team. This is an old “courtesy” that is no longer practiced (and currently prohibited under our COVID restrictions), as it can be dangerous if the rock is not where the member of the other team expects it to be, and can actually slow down the game, especially if they, for example, want to throw their rocks out of numerical order. Use your time instead to get out of the other team’s way as quickly as possible, so they can set up and deliver their rock.

(You may have seen Adam Casey on the ice at our Club this year — here’s why!)
Just before Christmas, CurlManitoba announced that it was cancelling their provincial men’s, women’s, and mixed doubles championships scheduled for February of 2021. They had previously announced the appointment criteria for teams to represent Manitoba at the national events in the event that provincials had to be cancelled.
Adam Casey (Curl Manitoba photo)
Last year’s Manitoba representatives at the Tim Hortons Brier, Team Jason Gunnlaugson, which includes PEI’s Adam Casey, accepted their invitation and will be making a return trip to the Brier, , Mar. 6-14, 2021, at the Markin MacPhail Centre, in Calgary, while Team Jennifer Jones will be representing the province at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts at the same venue in February. Fifth Lisa Weagle will be sitting in for Jones’ lead Dawn McEwen, who is pregnant and expecting in April, and has decided not to compete in the Calgary curling “bubble”. Manitoba’s Kerri Einarson team will also be there, as they won the Scotties last year and get to return as Team Canada.
Team Gunnlaugson had beaten Mike McEwen to advance to the 2020 Brier. In this year’s Brier lineup, Casey has moved from second stone to replace Alex Forrest at third, with Matt Wozniak joining the team at second, and Connor Njegovan again playing lead. Jacques Gauthier is alternate.
Casey is currently living in Charlottetown and keeping his game in shape by frequent practicing at Island curling clubs. As well as Manitoba, Casey, a native of Seven Mile Bay PEI, has also curled at the Brier for Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Saskatchewan.

Cornwall Curling Club Mask Usage Policy
Current Chief Public Health Office guidelines require that individuals wear a facial covering/non-medical mask in all indoor public spaces on Prince Edward Island. Proper wearing of a facial covering/non-medical mask (covering both the mouth and nose) in the community can be an additional measure you can take to protect others around you, even if you have no symptoms of COVID-19.
These facial covering/non-medical masking guidelines set a minimum standard for businesses in PEI. The Cornwall Curling Club has chosen to exceed the minimum standards in this regard in order to ensure the continued Health and Safety of our membership.
These guidelines apply to all sports and recreation facilities, except during periods of Physical Activity. The Cornwall Curling Club in this circumstance defines Physical Activity as actively engaged in the playing of the game of curling only. Performance of warm-up activities is not included in our definition of Physical Activity. Facial coverings/non-medical masks must be worn at all times in the Club House area, including between practices and games. The only exception for wearing of a facial covering/non-medical mask is if you are seated at a table while eating or drinking.
We ask for your continued support and compliance in this matter.

Kenmac Energy Bonspiel participants: as we’ve mentioned, Greg Lucas will be leading our Friday Night Trivia Sessions. Besides the regular Team questions, there are “Quarter Questions” where you break away from your team to show your individual knowledge on some extra tough questions. If you think you know the answer, let the Trivia Master know. If you’re right you win a prize. If you’re wrong, you donate a quarter for giving an incorrect answer, so be sure to bring along along a bunch of quarters!

Good curling, and thanks to Kenmac Energy for sponsoring this event for so many years!
This is a reminder to Club members to take home your water bottles after you curl — leftover bottles are located in the kitchen to the left of the bar, in the cupboard directly to the left or under it.
We also have some locker room items left over from last season. If you are missing any, check with the club attendant/bartender and ask to be let in to have a look. We will hold locker items only until the end of January, as we need to complete our cleanup of these rooms.
While the PEI Scotties Tournament of Hearts Provincial Women’s Curling Championship has not yet been held (it goes Jan. 29 to 31 in O’Leary), one Islander is already set to compete at the national Scotties, which takes place February 19 to 28 at the Markin McPhail Centre in Calgary Alberta.
O’Leary native and former Iqaluit resident Alison Griffin (now back on PEI), who was one of our Cornwall Curling Club teams this past weekend at the PEI Mixed Doubles championship, is slated to curl for Team Nunavut again this year at the event, Nunavut did not hold a competition this year and is sending the same team as last year. This will be Griffin’s third time representing Nunavut at the Scotties.
Team Nunavut (L-R): Lori Eddy (skip), Sadie Pinksen (third), Alison Griffin (2nd), Kaitlin MacDonald (lead) Coach Donalda Mattie (not in picture)
PEI’s representatives will be either the Suzanne Birt rink, who curls out of both the Montague and Cornwall curling clubs, or Montague’s Darlene London team. Team Birt represented the Island last year.
(by Jason Simmonds) CORNWALL, P.E.I. —
It has been a successful foray into a new division of curling for a brother and sister from Summerside.
Alex and Lauren MacFadyen of the Silver Fox teamed up to win the P.E.I. mixed doubles curling championship on Sunday. The MacFadyens were teammates in the four-person mixed provincials last year, but this was the first time they competed together in mixed doubles.
Lauren MacFadyen releases a shot while Alex MacFadyen sweeps the rock during play in the 2021 P.E.I. mixed doubles curling championship at the Cornwall Curling Club this past weekend. The brother-and-sister team from the Silver Fox in Summerside went 7-1 (won-lost) on their way to capturing the provincial title. – Contributed
Lauren, 24, said it is “really cool” to share this experience with Alex, 22.
“It’s interesting because we don’t get into disagreements, and we are always on the same page,” said Lauren. “It’s really cool to win with Alex.
“We have never curled together except for last year when we curled in the mixed. When we are out on the ice, we communicate, but we don’t really need to communicate at the same time because we know what the other person is thinking.”
The daughter and son of Susan and David MacFadyen will represent P.E.I. at the 2021 Home Hardware Canadian mixed doubles curling championship in Calgary, Alta., March 18-25.
It will be the first time Lauren will wear the P.E.I. colours at a national Curling Canada championship. Alex has represented P.E.I. in the Canadian junior championships twice. Lauren (St. Francis Xavier) and Alex (UPEI) have also participated in the U Sports national curling championships.
“This will be my first nationals against adults, you could say,” said Alex. “It should be some stiff competition.”

The cover story is about Canada’s national and World Junior Champions, including the Mackenzie Zacharias rink which includes Cornwall Curling Club member Lauren Lenentine, and the fact that they are graduating from junior curling to move up to women’s competition.
Also in the publication is a look at Curling Canada’s new Board of Directors, which includes Cornwall Curling Club member Kathy O’Rourke, along with a feature on Brier championship winners Team Gushue, which includes PEI’s Brett Gallant.
This is a reminder that Stick Curling will take place an hour later (1:30-3:30 pm) on the following dates:Teams in both divisions of the PEI Masters will play a modified triple knockout format, with draws daily at 9:30 am and 2 pm from Friday Jan. 22 through the two-game championship round on Monday the 25th. Under the modified triple knockout format, a team can win more than one section, If a team wins all three sections, they will be declared champions without playing the championship round. A two-section winner will have a “double life” in the championship round, and win the event if they take either section, while their opponent, the winner of the other section, would have to win both.
The men’s and women’s winning teams, or finalist teams if they are unable to attend, earn the right to compete in the 2021 Canadian Masters Curling Championships, November 17-21, 2021 at the Pembina Curling Club in Winnipeg, Man.

The brother and sister duo of Alex and Lauren MacFadyen picked up a pair of wins on Sunday over their Silver Fox Curling clubmates, the defending champion husband and wife team of Ed and Jenny White to capture the PEI Mixed Doubles Curling Championship at the Cornwall Curling Club.

2021 Mixed Doubles Finalist Team Jenny (left) and Ed White
Each team had won one of the three qualifying games for the Championship Round of the Modified Triple Knockout draw, with the third qualifier on the line Sunday morning. The Sunday “C” Qualifier was a closely-fought match, with the MacFadyens stealing a single in the final end for a 9-7 win.
This gave the MacFadyens a “double life” in the two-game championship round against their Silver Fox clubmates, meaning they would win the title with a victory in either of the two games, while the Whites would have had to win both to repeat as champions.
Team MacFadyen then won the first Championship game by a 6-4 score, with the help of a 3th-end triple, and a 5-2 lead after four ends, making a second game unnecessary.

The MacFadyens won the “A” Qualifier with a win over the Amy Spence and Jack MacFadyen team from Cornwall on Friday, with Team White winning the “B” over Team MacFadyen on Saturday. Both teams then won their respective “C” semi-finals on Saturday afternoon, to set up the “C” Qualifier match Sunday morning.

Seven teams, four from the host Cornwall Curling Club, the two finalists from the Silver Fox in Summerside, and one from Crapaud began play on Friday in the PEI event.

The brother and sister duo of Alex and Lauren MacFadyen were one up coming home without last rock advantage in a closely-fought Sunday morning “C” Qualifier match here at the Cornwall Curling Club with the defending champion Ed and Jenny White couple, and managed to steal a single for a 9-7 win. This gives the MacFadyens a “double life” in the two-game championship round against their Silver Fox clubmates, meaning they will win the PEI Mixed Curling Championship with a victory in either the first game, now moved up to 11:15 am, or the second, currently scheduled for 3:30 pm. The Whites need to win both games to repeat as champions.

The first round of the Thursday evening Single Entry Mixed League came down to a tight finish between the rink of Landon Warder, Robbie Gauthier, Jennifer Lenentine, and Laurie Kelly, and the team of Bruce Thompson, Katelyn Burgoyne, George Piercey, and Patricia McCarville. At the end of the last evening of the draw (which ended up shortened due to the 2-week Circuit Breaker shutdown) it appeared that Bruce’s team had the lead, but when points were calculated for Landon’s bye, it gave Landon and his team the first-place honours, with 86 points to Bruce’s 76.
The winners are (L-R), from left to right lead: Laurie Kelly third: Robbie Gauthier, skip: Landon Warder and second: Jennifer Lenentine

With this modified triple knockout draw, winning teams drop down to play in the next section. If a team wins all three sections, they will take the championship without the 2-game Sunday championship round. A team winning two sections will advance to both championship round games and win the title if they take either game, while their opponent, the winner of the other section, would have to win both.
Team MacFadyen will play Cornwall’s Nancy Milton and Calvin Smith squad, who have a 2-1 win-loss record, at 9 am Saturday in a “B” semi-final, with the winner advancing to the “B” qualifier game at 12:15 pm. The other “B” semi sees Team White (1-1) take on the Spence/MacFadyen duo (2-1).
The Cornwall team of Clara Jack and Brayden Snow play their MacKenzie/Griffin clubmates at 9 am Saturday. Both teams have two losses, so only the winner will continue on in this triple-knockout event. The Crapaud duo of Terri Wood and Alan Inman also have two losses, and are in a “must-win” game at 12:15 pm Saturday.
The “C” semis go at 3:30 pm Saturday, with the “C” final at Sunday morning at 9. The Championship Round, if needed, goes at 12:15 and, if necessary, 3:30 pm on Sunday.
The winning team will advance to the 2021 Home Hardware Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Championship, March 18-25 at the Markin MacPhail Centre, in Calgary, AB.

The Cornwall Curling Club is pleased to host the PEI Mixed Doubles Curling Championship during daytime hours this weekend (Jan. 15-17). As spectators are not allowed at the event due to COVID-19 restrictions, please note that the Club will not be open for regular operations including all drop-in curling, practice times, etc, during the hours of 8 am through 5 pm on those days.
Please note that evening activities WILL proceed, including our Friday evening league, The CCC Imports at 6:30 pm on the 15th, plus any evening rentals on Friday and Saturday evenings.
The Sunday Doubles Curling League WILL proceed with the 6:30 pm draw. The 4 pm draw (one game) has made arrangements to curl, with start time depending on when the PEI Mixed Doubles event ends.
Thank you for your understanding as we get ready to host this championship event, which includes seven teams, four of which are from our Club.
The PEI 55+ Winter Games scheduled for February in Cornwall have been cancelled due to the ongoing pandemic. Curling and Stick Curling are among the sports that normally take place in this event.
Kim Knight-Picketts, president of the PEI 55+ Games Society, and Cornwall Mayor Minerva McCourt made the announcement in a joint news release.
“Given the ongoing information about COVID, the risk to seniors and the uncertain future about physical distancing, it would be irresponsible to bring this group together in close proximity in order to play these Games,” said Knight- Picketts, who added that although the impending arrival of a vaccine is welcomed news, it will not be soon enough to allow for an event of this nature to proceed safely.
Another concern was timing, as planning for the games needs to be happening now, including having a town administrative person to help with various aspects of the Games and naming chairpersons and volunteers. With the current COVID-19 situation, it is not possible to meet regularly and count on various venues being available,
While it is disappointing not to have the event in her town in 2021, McCourt says this is the responsible decision to make.
“While the municipality was certainly looking forward to welcoming so many 55-plus competitors this winter, this is not the time to bring people together for large gatherings. We would prefer to have everyone stay safe and are looking forward to seeing people in our venues in the winter of 2022.”
The No. 1 priority has to be safety when it comes to hosting events.
“COVID-19 continues to be a major health concern in our province and across the country,” she said. “We need to do everything we can to keep our population safe.”
The town has committed to hosting the P.E.I. 55+ Winter Games in the winter of 2022, with a date to be announced. The PEI 55+ Games board of directors has unanimously approved this decision.
The PEI 55+ Games serve as a qualifier for the Canada 55+ Games, which has also altered its schedule due to the pandemic. The next national event will be held Aug. 22-26, 2022, in Kamloops, B.C.
We are pleased to continue our relationship with Upstreet Craft Brewing, and would like to introduce you to what’s on tap this season, including the return of Eighty Bob!
Upstreet’s take on a Bohemian classic. Balanced and crisp, this local lager might be your new favourite brew. The Pilsner style comes from Pilsen, Czech Republic, the original city in which it was brewed. Following tradition, they wanted to name their Upstreet Pilsner after its birthplace. In the 18th century, the brewery site was in “the Commons” – the outskirts of Charlottetown proper
Bob is steadfast but not set in his ways. He offers a fresh perspective and challenges old ways of thinking. Light on his feet and quick with his words, Bob’s full of character, and so is this Scottish Red Ale. It has a rich malt flavour woven into the dark red setting. Bob may not be as rich, but he knows his worth and not a shilling less.
Life is good with this go-to ale. A favourite style of Upstreet’s head brewer who values flavour balance as much as hop character. Named in tribute to all the good folks who helped make the Upstreet dream a reality. This’ll do ya good!
10% of the proceeds of Do Gooder go to the Do Good fund for local arts and culture initiatives.
The Cornwall Curling Club is pleased to partner with this great company and its great products!
With their home brewery at 41 Allen St. in Charlottetown, Upstreet Craft Brewing is a B-Corp certified company with three locations across two provinces, a line of craft sodas, Rewind Vodka Coolers, and beer on shelves in all four Atlantic provinces.
In 2016, Upstreet became the first business on Prince Edward Island to gain B Corp Certification, part of a global movement of leaders that find innovative new ways to use business as a force for good. They meet the highest standards of overall social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability and aspire to use the power of business to solve social and environmental problems.
There are more than 2000 Certified B Corporations in over 120 industries and 40 countries with 1 unifying goal – to redefine success in business.

(by Jason Simmonds) The Rachel MacLean and Mitchell Schut rinks realized goals of winning provincial curling championships in what has been a year of adjustments, on and off the ice.
The two teams, products of the Cornwall Curling Club’s junior program, captured the 2021 P.E.I. under-18 titles at the Montague Curling Club on Sunday.
Rachel MacLean’s rink from the Cornwall Curling Club won the 2021 P.E.I. under-18 female curling championship in Montague on Sunday with a 6-0 (won-lost) record in the three-day event. Team members are, front row, from left, Lexie Murray, third, Isabella Tatlock, second, and back row, from left, MacLean; David Murphy, coach; Hayden Ford, alternate, and lead Avery Nicholson. – Contributed
“It feels good because we never won the under-18 title before,” said MacLean. “We have been trying for a few years, but we’ve always come second.
“It’s nice to finally get it because this is my last year for this (age category).”
The David Murphy-coached MacLean team, including third Lexie Murray, second Isabella Tatlock, lead Avery Nicholson and alternate Hayden Ford, swept all three sections of the modified triple-knockout format that resulted in no championship round required.
Skip Mitchell Schut and his Cornwall Curling Club rink captured the 2021 P.E.I. under-18 male curling championship in Montague on Sunday. Team Schut completed play in the three-day event with a record of 6-1 (won-lost). Members of the winning rink are, front row, from left, Chase MacMillan, third, Cruz Pineau, second, back row, from left, Schut, Pat Quilty, coach, and Liam Kelly, lead. – Contributed
Team Schut, coached by Pat Quilty, completed play in the three-day event with a 6-1 record. Schut, with third Chase MacMillan, second Cruz Pineau and lead Liam Kelly, won the A and B sections.
Cornwall’s Brayden Snow rink, the 2020 champions, defeated Schut 7-2 in the C section final on Sunday morning. That forced a championship round, where Snow would have had to beat Schut twice to repeat.
Schut took care of business in the afternoon draw, posting a title-clinching 10-1 win in six ends.
Schut said it is “quite the accomplishment” to win the provincial championship. He said his team worked towards this event all season.
“We have played in a lot of events, but one of the biggest things we want to win is provincials because most years you get a chance to represent (your province) at nationals,” said Schut. “This year, we don’t get that chance (due to COVID-19).
“But just to say we are the best team on P.E.I. for our age group is quite the honour.”
This is a reminder that entries are due this month for provincial Stick (Jan. 19), along with Seniors and Pepsi Juniors (both Jan. 27) championships. Entries must be made online. We are hosting the PEI Stick Ch’ships next month.
