b) Ray Crawford Remembered (uniquement an anglais)

From the post-war years well into the sixties, Terry Dickson, wearing many hats, was the mainstay of the then Canadian Archery Association, now Federation of Canadian Archers.  Terry's departure left some big shoes to fill.

When Ray Crawford of Winnipeg took the helm in 1968, the organization was floundering a bit for want of organization and leadership.  Ray was just the organizational man needed.  He was diligent and conscientious, efficient and cool headed.  I became secretary/editor at the same time and because we lived in the same city, we could work together closely at putting things in order.  In fact, this often amounted to daily telephone contact.

Owing to a lack of financial resources, and Winnipeg being centrally located, executive meetings were held in that city, with the Crawfords and Rohringers providing accommodation to the out-of-towners.  The formula was a successful one and worked well for many years.  Ray's wife, Wonetta, provided especially good egg salad sandwiches.  Under Ray's leadership the organization ran smoothly and prospered both nationally and internationally.

It was my privilege to work with a remarkably capable and amiable leader.  Ray had a favorite, oft used, quote, with which I wish to conclude this brief account of long service.

"So long as the new moon returns in the heaven a bent, beautiful bow,

So long will the fascination of archery keep hold of the hearts of men.

Maurice Thompson, The Witchery of Archery, 1878.

 Carol Rohringer

*****************************************************************************************

 CRAWFORD; Raymond Stewart passed away peacefully on April 4, 2001 at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital at the age of 75 after a courageous 4 year battle with cancer.  He will be deeply missed by his wife and friend of 51 years, Wonetta; his children Barbara (Donald), Carol (Danny), Lorraine, Stewart, Nancy (Grant); and grandchildren Bonnie, Ryan, Shannon, Dana and Colin.  He is also survived by his sister Merle of Parksville BC, his brother Allan of Calgary, AB and numerous nieces and nephews.

His boyhood years in Indian Head, Saskatchewan were shaped by the "Dirty Thirties" and ended at the age of 17 when he enlisted.  After proudly serving his country overseas with the Royal Canadian Armed Forces, he obtained his Engineering degree at the University of Saskatchewan.  In 1950, he moved to Winnipeg, accompanied by his new bride Wonetta, where he commenced a 32 year career with the Manitoba Telephone System, including a 3-year stint in Saudi Arabia.  Ray and Wonetta resided in Winnipeg for 36 healthy and happy years, raising their family of 5 and forming lifelong friendships.

Those close to Ray were inspired by his youthful outlook and his never-ending pursuit of knowledge and life experiences.  Besides having a passion for hunting, fishing, duplicate bridge and history, over the years he also enjoyed archery, bowling, curling, scuba diving, travelling, camping and skiing.  He was a lifelong member of the Manitoba Historical Society and collected a vast library of historical data.  Because of his love of history, he was inspired to write his autobiography and a memoir of his boyhood days in Saskatchewan.  He served the Federation of Canadian Archers as president from 1968 to 1976 and was a driving force in having Archery recognized as an Olympic sport.  It was his honour to serve as a representative for the FCA during the 1976 Olympics in Montreal.

After his retirement from MTS, he had a brief real-estate career until 1986 when the call of the ocean prompted a relocation to Parksville, BC on Vancouver Island.  Countless fishing trips stimulated an interest in the study of navigation, which culminated in his appointment as Commander of the Ballenas Power and Sail Squadron.  In Parksville, Ray remained active in the Royal Canadian Legion, swapping war stories and enjoying many a game of darts.  Despite his waning energy in his last months, he still pursued his favorite activities as much as possible.

A memorial service celebrating Ray's life was held on April 7th, 2001 at Knox United Church in Parksville and was officiated by Reverend Foster Freed.  Those who wish to remember Ray in a tangible way are encouraged to consider a memorial gift in his honour to The Canadian Cancer Society, BC & Yukon Division, 565 West 10th Avenue, Vancouver, BC V5Z 4J4.

4. Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport

 LAUNCHING of the ADR-SPORT-RED program for AMATEUR SPORT in Canada -Thursday January 17. 2002

Canada has a new program for out of court settlement of disputes for amateur sports. The national ADR-SPORT-RED program is an out of court settlement system for disputes that offers mediation and arbitration services to the national sports community.

In May 2000 the Secretary of State for Amateur Sport, the Honourable Denis Coderre formed a work group composed of members of the Canadian sport community in order to come up with recommendations for solutions aimed at out of court settlement of disputes related to sports across Canada. The sport community recommended the implementation of a settlement system based upon mediation and arbitration. In October 2001, the Secretary of State for Amateur Sport approved this proposal and requested assistance from the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) to assist and supervise the implementation of the first phase of the program. Having accepted the mandate, CCES formed a steering committee comprised of representatives of the sport community in order to implement the ADR-SPORT-RED program.

This first interim phase will last as long as it takes to create a permanent ADR-SPORT-RED organisation. Under this interim phase the program only has jurisdiction over cases where internal regulations or an agreement with the national organisation allow for independent dispute resolution.

 The program has as its objective to offer mediation or arbitration alternatives for members of national sports organisations including, among others, athletes, trainers, directors and managers of these organisations.  Recourse to the ADR-SPORT-RED is only accessible to members of the national sport community after the internal resources of the organisation have been exhausted. This program is funded by Canadian Heritage and is made financially available to members of the sports community nationwide.  The ADR-SPORT-RED is grateful and renders tribute to Canadian Heritage as well as former Secretary of State for Amateur Sport, the Honourable Denis Coderre and his successor, the Honourable Paul DeVillers for their financial support.

 For more information on the ADR-SPORT-RED program, please contact Mr. Benoit Girardin, CONSULTANTS AMG inc, Director of the ADR-SPORT-RED, at (514) 733-6697, cell (514)241-2096  ; or Ms. Marie Andrée Marquis of the Court Office (CACNIQ) at the toll-free number   1-877-909-3794 or at

 Online information is also available from January 18, 2002, at or on the Court Office website

4.  Centre canadien pour l'éthique dans le sport

 COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE --LANCEMENT DU ADR-SPORT-RED Pour Le SPORT AMATEUR - Jeudi Le 17 Janvier 2002

Le Canada se dote d'un programme de Règlement extrajudiciaire des différends pour le sport amateur. Le programme national ADR-SPORT-RED est un système de Règlement extrajudiciaire des différends qui offre la médiation et l'arbitrage à la communauté sportive nationale.

 En mai 2000, le Secrétaire d'État au sport amateur, l'honorable Denis Coderre, formait un groupe de travail composé d'intervenants de la communauté sportive canadienne réunis afin de lui recommander des solutions pour le règlement extrajudiciaire des différends en matière de sport au Canada. La communauté sportive a alors recommandé l'implantation d'un système de règlement des différends par médiation et arbitrage. En octobre 2001, le Secrétaire d'État donnait son aval au projet et demandait au Centre canadien pour l'éthique dans le sport (CCES) d'assister et de superviser l'implantation de la première phase intérimaire de ce programme. Acceptant ce mandat, le CCES créait un comité- aviseur  formé de représentants de la communauté sportive pour implanter le ADR-SPORT-RED.

 Ce programme a pour but d'offrir des alternatives de médiation ou d'arbitrage pour les membres des Organisations nationales de Sport incluant entre autres les athlètes, les entraîneurs, les dirigeants et administrateurs de ces organisations. Le recours au programme ADR-SPORT-RED est accessible uniquement aux membres de la communauté sportive nationale, une fois que les recours internes de l'organisation ont été épuisés.  Ce programme est subventionné par Patrimoine Canada et est rendu économiquement accessible aux parties membres de la communauté sportive canadienne. Le programme ADR-SPORT-RED remercie et rend hommage à Patrimoine Canada ainsi que le Secrétaire d'État au sport amateur, l'Honorable Denis Coderre et son successeur l'Honorable Paul DeVillers pour leur appui financier.
