YMCAs around world shooting for record The Peter Gilgan Family YMCA is asking Oakville residents to help make history this weekend. Saturday, YMCAs around the world will participate in a cross-globe basketball shoot-out in an effort to set a new mark in the Guinness Book of World Records. Created by the World Alliance of YMCAs, the event's goal is to mobilize five million people around the world on one day to shoot basketballs and show how the organization is empowering youths worldwide using culture, sports, education, exchange programs and other tools and activities. The shoot-out record attempt will take place locally at the 410 Rebecca St. YMCA from noon-2:45 p.m. The YMCA World Challenge event will also feature a Toronto Raptors Mobile Fan Zone, from 2-6 p.m., where participants can step inside the basketball team's locker room trailer and get a taste of what it would be like to be a member of the Raptors. A free Learn to Dribble clinic for children ages eight-12 will be held from 3:30-5 p.m. and will include a 30-minute welcome, group activity by Raptors youth basketball development coaches, one-hour drill-based and skill-development clinic, and free Raptors T-shirts and wristbands. To register for the clinic and complete the mandatory waiver form, visit www. ymcaofoakville.com and click on the YMCA World Challenge logo. In addition, a Hoops for YMCA Strong Kids basketball game will also run from 6-9 p.m. The fun, non-competitive game will help raise money for the YMCA's Strong Kids campaign. 19 · Wednesday, October 10, 2012 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.insideHALTON.com PHOTO COURTESY OF ONTARIO EQUESTRIAN FEDERATION and her horse, Utopia Belles. HORSE AND RIDER: Equestrian Helen Chambers Horse brings out rider's personality Continued from page 18 three-day interprovincial championships. Chambers and Utopia Belles turned in two clean rides to finish first that day, a performance that went a long way in securing the junior championship. "Some of these riders have been competing at higher heights all season, so they came in with a bit of an advantage," Lineker said. "For her to go, in a high pressure situation, and ride exactly how she had to, it was incredible. Pretty amazing." Lineker says Utopia Belles is a horse that knows what she wants. Maybe, in that way, her student and horse are not so different after all. "I think Helen's at her best when she's on a horse," Lineker said. "That's when she shows her true personality." -- Herb Garbutt can be followed on Twitter @Herbgarbutt Call Alycia at 905-845-3824 ext. 278 ahowe@oakvillebeaver.com HOME IMPROVEMENT CONSTRUCTION WINDOWS & DOORS Since 1982 Reno/Handyman Home Renovations/ Additions Drywall speciality/Taping Experience in custom building gives that added touch to big or small jobs Electrical/plumbing/carpentry guarantees quick precise completion of your reno or addition.
