Around The Region
While out and about in Lennoxville on Saturday morning, we came
upon these two young ladies, Ester and Chelsea, in front of the
Lennoville United Church selling Girl Guide cookies. Ester told the
Chronicle that this year they ordered 35 cases of 12 boxes each and
were expecting to sell out that morning. Corey Bellam photo.
TIM ANNESLEY
HOCKEY TOURNAMENT
This past weekend was the
22nd annual Tim Annesley
Memorial Hockey Tournament
that was being held at the Eric
and Jane Molson Arena on the
Bishops University Campus in
Lennoxville, Que. The fun all
kicked off Friday evening with
around 20 teams, to include
three women’s teams. The action
was fierce all weekend with
many very well matched games
in four categories: women’s, 40plus, open division and recreational division.
Sunday around 10 a.m. was
time for the finals to start, with
the Tuesday Night Boys taking
on the North Hatley Old Timers
with North Hatley beating the
Tuesday Night Boys 4-2 in the
40-plus division. Then it was
time for the Cutters to take on
Black Ice with Black Ice defeating the Cutters 7-3 in the recreational division. (Tim Annesley
always played with the Cutters.)
The women hit the ice with The
Bald Eagles taking on the Polar
Bears, with the Bald Eagles
defeating the Polar Bears 6-1. In
the open division, Piper Pride
defeated Pat's All Stars, 6-1 This
pretty much brought a weekend
of hockey filled with good friends
and lots of laughs to an end.
The money raised from this
Tim Annesley Hockey Tournament will be going to the Eastern
Townships Alzheimers Society.
This weekend would not have
been possible without the organizers Larry Paradis, Steve Harvey, Nancy Chretien, Douglas
Blair along with the Annesley
family,the teams and the many
working behind the scenes to
make this 22nd Tim Annesley
Hockey tournament a complete
success.
Timothy Annesley was born
on July 21st 1964 in Sherbrooke
just a day after the family moved
from Maple Grove (a small community near Thetford Mines,
Que.) to Waterville, Que. Tim
was the youngest of four children
Irnine, Linda, Clancy and Tim.
He was born to Dufferin and
Marion Annesley.
A year after Tim's birth the
family moved to Huntingville,
Que., where the children grew
up. Tim was a little devil he loved
to play pranks and most locals
got caught in them too. Living in
Huntingville gave him a good
chance to golf in the summer and
play hockey in the winter.
Hockey being in his blood. Tim’s
father Dufferin took care of the
ice rink and Tim could be found
there every second He played a
lot a Bishops University and
Bishops College School. He never
liked
hockey
practices–he
wanted to get right into the
game. Right up to the tragic
accident which took this young
man’s life many years ago, he
lived hockey. 22 years ago the
outpouring of support was unbelievable for his family and his
lovely wife Marie-Claude Gagne
and his at that time five year old
daughter Tina.
After his death his hockey
family wanted to help with
Tina's education and that is how
the Tim Annesley Hockey Tournament was born in 1995. Once
Tina's education fund was large
enough to get her through University, the organizers focused on
giving help to local community
and well known charities. Tim
Annesley was a friend to all and
I'm very sure he was keeping a
close eye on the hockey games
this past weekend.

SPAGHETTI SUPPER
IN SAWYERVILLE
Last Saturday afternoon the
smell of homemade spaghetti
sauce was in the air at the Sawyerville Catholic Church Hall.
Every year about this time the
Sawyerville Elementary School
hold their fundraising spaghetti
supper that draws close to 200
parents, grandparents, friends
and many others to enjoy a
hearty supper of rolls, salads,
desserts and of course spaghetti.
This meal sure showed the dedication this school of only 50 students to help raise money for
activities throughout the school
year.
Many staff members and students rolled up their sleeves and
dished out food,cleared tables
and washed tables. We even
found school principal Norma
Humphries hard at work washing dishes. This event just like
other years fed many a tasty
meal for a good cause. We spoke
with Humphries and she told us
she was very happy with the
turnout of this event. When all
help, a big job becomes a small
job.
