Eric Lamaze is among the five showjumpers shortlisted to represent Canada individually at the Tokyo Olympics.
Last week Equestrian Canada announced the riders bidding for the one individual showjumping space available at the Games. Also on the list are Erynn Ballard, Mario Deslauriers, Tiffany Foster and Amy Millar.
Three of team Canada’s 2016 Rio Olympic squad are on the roster; Eric, Tiffany and Amy. If selected, Tokyo will be 53-year-old Eric’s fourth Games. He won individual gold and team silver at Beijing in 2008, was part of the London 2012 squad with Tiffany, and took individual bronze at Rio in 2016.
Mario, 56, represented Team Canada at the 1984 Los Angeles Games and the 1988 Seoul Games alongside Amy’s father Ian Millar, and was part of the 2018 World Equestrian Games squad in Tryon, USA, with Eric and Erynn.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced in a news release Thursday that it reached a $50,578 settlement with Bear River Supply Inc., a California-based pesticide company, which purportedly sold pesticide that was misbranded and produced in an unregistered facility.
The statement explained that although Bear River Supply produced pesticides, it allegedly did not register its establishment, sold misbranded pesticides, and did not properly maintain its equipment. The EPA said that prior to this settlement, the company corrected these violations.
Amy Miller, an EPA enforcement and compliance assurance director, said that “pesticide manufacturers must be registered to produce pesticides, properly label products and ensure pesticide loading areas have proper secondary containment to prevent chemical releases.”
The Chestnut Ridge preschool program was recently evaluated by a representative of PreK Counts in order to receive continued grant funding.
The evaluation process includes a program review by a state-appointed specialist, who comes to the district yearly to observe instruction and analyze the operations of the program. This year, an evaluation was done virtually due to COVID-19.
The program is evaluated on 36 indicators, including ratio, teacher and paraprofessional qualifications and continued education, instruction, enrollment, classroom and school environment and audits.
âMrs. Bowser and Mrs. Kissell have taught in our PreK Counts classrooms since 2007. They are seasoned PreK teachers who naturally give kids exactly what they need at exactly the right time!â Sam Rosa, Prek coordinator, said in a news release. âThe team I work with is dedicated, passionate, and enthusiastic about our students. We love what we do!â
