Women’s Day

 

In light of Women’s Day celebrations, a Charlo resident offers his support to a special group working to aid women! Lawyer Paul McIntyre was very pleased to make a donation to the Foundation Soeur Jeannette Leclerc Inc. who work exclusively to raise funds for the Maison Notre-Dame House Inc. of Campbellton. Mr. McIntyre, presented Mrs. Thérèse Lemieux with a cheque in the amount of $2000.00, said it was something he had always thought about doing.

“I consider myself very fortunate to be able to make this gesture in support of these fine organizations. This donation has given me a great sense of satisfaction. These 2 organizations work very hard to offer support to battered and abused women of our region. They deserve our support and our applause for all the honorable aid they have already provided and also for their future efforts and accomplishments!”said Paul McIntyre

 

Thank You Paul!

Les Aventuriers Ski Club: Cross Country Ski Nationals 2010 - Yukon
 
The New Brunswick Cross Country Ski Team just got back from the National Championships held in Whitehorse, Yukon between March 14-21^st.  Contrary to what we thought, the weather was very nice varying between -15 and +3 degrees celcius.  We competed with more than 380 racers from across the country.  Two of 3 athletes competed against Olympians such as Chandra Crawford and Drew Goldsack.  Team members were Marianne Levesque (Les Aventuriers), Philippe Levesque (Les Aventuriers) and Mathieu LeBlanc (Boules des Neiges – Richibouctou-Village).  The team was coached by Chastity Degroot (Les Aventuriers) and our team's wax technician was Jean-Philippe Levesque (Les Aventuriers). 
 
Whitehorse Cross Country Ski Club has an amazing trail system.  They had one particular technical downhill that gave every athlete an adrenaline rush!  They have a wonderful CWG’s center that shares a parking lot with the ski center.  It is similar in size to the Civic Center and they have a small population of 22 000 people. 
 
Although there were 5 races, we were only able to compete in 4 of them.  We could not make an official team for the Team Sprint event because we needed 2 athletes of the same sex from the same club.  We were hoping to enter as an unofficial team, however this was not permitted.   Our team used this opportunity to watch other racers and learn from their technique and tactics.  These races were very exciting.
 
Our team watched a very exciting sprint event where Marianne almost qualified for the semi-finals.  She got tripped and fell in the first 50 meters of the 1200 meter course – it was quite a spectacular fall which we got on video.  She then got up off the ground with bull-headed determination.  Usually a fall in a short race such as this would put you out of the race completely, but she managed to pass 2 girls on an uphill so fast it made them look still.  She was 1 ski length behind the girl she needed to pass before the finish line in order to qualify for the semi-final heats.
 
As a coach, I was very proud of our athletes.  They worked very hard in these races.  As I supported the athletes from the sideline of the most difficult uphill climb, I was able to compare our team to other racers.  Our team had great technique and good strength.  Our goal for next year is to improve our endurance and aggressiveness. 

Our team would like to thank you for your support!  Your kind words of encouragement meant a lot to our team!

 Charlo Fall Fair

 

Hello Dear Charlo Residents,

 

  It's already the time of the year to start planning the Charlo Fall Fair 2010 edition!  We will be holding a meeting on Wednesday April 21th at 7pm to pick the executive committee members for the 2010 Charlo Fall Fair and anyone interested in becoming a part of the organizing committee or being a volunteer are encouraged to attend this important meeting.  Please be aware that the Arseneault Family will be returning to Charlo for a 3rd consecutive year and that we are working hard to secure a very special band for the dance on Saturday!  New members and new ideas are always welcomed!

Charlo Ice Rink Committee

 

In a previous article, the Charlo Ice Rink Committee had challenged the general population of Charlo to participate in a fitness challenge at the outdoor rink. The goal was to skate from Charlo to the Bell Center in Montreal, a distance of 764,80 km. Everyone was asked to register their kilometres on our distance chart (8 times around the rink = 1 km). We are more than pleased and proud to announce that you have succeeded by registering 785 km on our distance chart. We may not be as famous as the Montreal Canadians, but this definitely proves that Charlo is in motion and in great shape. We wish to thank all the participants and look forward to challenging you again next year!

Paul McIntyre of Charlo qualifies for the Boston Marathon

Charlo native, Mr. Paul McIntyre, completed his 37 career marathon of 42.2 km [26.2 miles] in his age category in Rimouski, Quebec on Sunday, October 4, 2009. In so doing, Paul thereby qualified for the 2009-2010 Boston Marathon. Paul, who began running in his mid twenties, joins other, long time, local area runners who had previously qualified for the 2009-2010 Boston Marathon that will be run Monday, April 19th, 2010. They include Alain Caron of Charlo, John Culligan of Jacquet River, and Roger D. Levesque of Balmoral.

The Village of Charlo is one of the only areas that offer 2 road races every year. The first being the ‘Marathon de la Baie de Chaleur’ which is held in June and offers a full marathon of 42.2 km [26.2 miles], a half marathon, a 10 km and a 5 km. This marathon was founded and organized by Jeannita and Alain Caron some 17 years ago.

The second race, which is also held to help encourage people to take up the sport, is run during the Charlo Fall Fair in September offering a 10 km, a 5 km and a 1 km [for the children]. This road race which began some 34 years ago, was founded and is organized and sponsored by Mr. Paul McIntyre.

We are very proud of all these individuals that prove that you are never too old to participate in any sport. You are also never too old to get physically active! Paul, Alain and Roger encourage people of all ages to take up running. They suggest you start off by walking, progress to a fast walk, then a fast walk with a few running strides and soon you will be enjoying the cardiovascular benefits. Remember always check with your physician before beginning any strenuous exercise program.

CHARLO REGIONAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY INC.

Charlo Airport held its Annual General Meeting

CHARLO, NB - The Charlo Regional Airport Authority held its Annual General Meeting on October 15th 2009.

It is important for everyone to know that although it does not offer commercial air service, Charlo caters to private aircraft and air Ambulance at a rate of about 1200 movements per year.

Charlo is a safe, full service airport and is open year-round. It has a new fuel system offering both AV Gas and Jet Fuel, since August 2009. Airport officials have been working diligently on diversification options for the facilities including:

• Flight College: have been working with MFC in order for them to consider Charlo in their expansion plans
• Explorer Solutions: Retained firm to identify diversification options
• Air Ambulance: in times of crisis, the population of Northern NB deserve efficient and quick response health services that a 2nd aircraft stationed in Charlo could offer
• Snowfighter courses: will be offered using the Charlo facilities this fall

The Board will continue its efforts to diversify and sustain this important infrastructure for the economic development of the region.

Adolphe Goulette, Chairman of the Charlo Airport Authority
