Acknowledgments The impact of COVID-19 on our competition venues is immense. Staff has been laid off, revenues for the season are seriously impacted, and the future remains uncertain. The Jump Canada Hall of Fame has been cancelled for MAY 2020 THE WARM-UP RING 1 ERIC LAMAZE AND HICKSTEAD TO BE INDUCTED INTO CANADA’S SPORTS HALL OF FAME 2008 Beijing Olympic show jumping champions Eric Lamaze and ClixPhoto.com Hickstead will be inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2020/21. Together, Lamaze and Hickstead wrote show jumping history. Their crowning achievement was claiming the individual gold and team silver medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Lamaze and Hickstead also earned an individual bronze medal at the 2010 World Championships where Hickstead was awarded the title of “Best Horse.” They won team silver and individual bronze medals at the 2007 Pan American Games as well as several major grand prix show jumping titles including Calgary (2007 and 2011); Geneva (2008); Aachen (2010); La Baule (2011); and Rome (2011). “It is an honour for myself and Hickstead to be recognized for our achievements by Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame,” said Lamaze, 52. “I’m especially happy for Hickstead. In our sport, it takes two athletes, one human and one equine, working together and in Hickstead I found a true partner. It’s wonderful that his accomplishments are being recognized for the great athletic feats that they were. “Together, we were proud to represent Canada on the world stage,” continued Lamaze. “My sincerest thanks to all who supported this nomination and made it possible. I gratefully accept this honour on behalf of all of our supporters, our fans, and our great nation.” In addition to being inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame, Lamaze will receive the Order of Sport, Canada’s highest sporting honour. Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, the Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame induction ceremony, traditionally held each October in Toronto, ON, will not take place in 2020. Rather, it will be deferred for one year, making Lamaze and Hickstead part of the class of 2008 Beijing Olympic show jumping champions Eric Lamaze and 2020/21. Hickstead will be inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame. Lamaze and Hickstead will be the second horse-rider combination ever inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame, following Ian Millar and Big Ben’s induction in 1996. Hickstead (Hamlet – Jomara x Ekstein) was bred in The Netherlands by Jan van Schijndel and born on March 2, 1996. Lamaze purchased the Dutch Warmblood stallion in 2004 through Stephex Stables in Belgium and owned him in partnership with John Fleischhacker’s Ashland Stables of the United States. Prior to his tragic death during competition in Italy in 2011, Hickstead earned more than $3 million in prize money during his career with Lamaze and was widely considered to be the best show jumping horse of his era. Having competed at the 2008 Beijing, 2012 London, and 2016 Rio Olympics, Lamaze is now focused on representing Canada at the rescheduled 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. He owns and operates Torrey Pines Stable, a large show jumping training and sales business with bases in Wellington, Florida, and Brussels, Belgium, where he trains many students from various nationalities at the elite level. MAY 2020 THE WARM-UP RING 2 Sportfot Stephanie Valdes competing at Spruce Meadows aboard Balermo, a horse that she describes as “the goofiest horse I’ve ever met in my entire life.” YOUNG GUNS! PROFILING STEPHANIE VALDES By Emily Randolph For Stephanie Valdes’ 12th birthday, the British Columbia native requested a horseback riding party. Weeks earlier, she had attended one hosted by a friend and, after getting her first taste of horses, Valdes wanted more. Her parents obliged, and in the 15 years since then, a birthday has not passed for Valdes without horses playing a role in some aspect. As she celebrates her 27th birthday on June 2, she may not have a horseback riding party, but she will continue to savour the gift of horses – a gift that has shaped her life and provided her with abundant opportunities and enjoyment. From British Columbia to Barcelona Following her 12th birthday party came a month of riding lessons, Courtesy of Tiffany Foster purchased from the horse party facilitator. Before long, a month of lessons had turned into years, and Valdes was soon riding at Southlands Riding Club in Vancouver, BC. At 15, Valdes began riding with Brent Balisky and his wife, Canadian Olympian Laura Tidball-Balisky, of Thunderbird Show Stables in Langley, BC. “At first, Brent and Laura came to Southlands and taught a bit there,” said Valdes, who progressed from the three-foot hunters to the 1.30m jumpers under their tutelage. “Then we moved the horses out there to Langley. Once I finished high school, we moved to Langley to be closer to their barn and I started riding full- time. It was really awesome! It was such a fun group, and we did the horse shows at Thunderbird all summer, which was so much fun.” In 2017, Valdes and her family decided it was time to take the next step to international competition. The Baliskys suggested their former student and fellow British Columbia native, Tiffany Foster, as a trainer. Tiffany Foster (left) welcomed Stephanie Valdes as Little Creek Equestrian’s first client. MAY 2020 THE WARM-UP RING 3 “It’s really cool that Tiffany is from the same One Shot area and started out with some of the same trainers,” said Valdes of the two-time Canadian Olympian.

  • HTST 526 – the Canadian Military in the Second World War COURSE
    HTST 526 – The Canadian Military in the Second World War Fall 2018 – University of Calgary Seminar Hours: Thursday, 1400-1645 Room: SS623 Professor: Dr. D. J. Bercuson Email: [email protected] Office Telephone: 403-220-4038 Office Hours: Thursday 1300-1400 Office: SS 856B COURSE DESCRIPTION This seminar will explore Second World War officer leadership in the Canadian Army. To begin, students must read On the Psychology of Military Incompetence (entire book), Crerar’s Lieutenants (entire book) The Generals (Chapters 1-7, Conclusion). These required texts are located at the University of Calgary bookstore, history area. Once students have read and discussed these readings – providing a contextual foundation for what it is that makes a successful commander – the course will begin by critically analyzing the legacy left by the Canadian Corps and General Sir Arthur Currie. Next, students will focus on subjects such as officer selection, education, and training prior to and during the Second World War. By investigating Canadian organizational, tactical, and operational successes and failures, students will ultimately determine if Canada produced any actual or potential “Arthur Curries” during the Second World War. Throughout the seminar and specific to the presentations, students should consider the following questions: What is it that “makes” a successful commander? How should leadership be measured? What is the relationship between a leader and subordinates? What is the difference between management and leadership? This is a senior undergraduate/graduate seminar with graduate students also participating. It involves considerable reading and self-study as well as active class discussion. Students who feel themselves unable to engage in such seminar discussion should carefully review their grade expectations in this course.

  • Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook
    Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook BA Hons (Trent), War Studies (RMC) This thesis is submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Social Sciences UNSW@ADFA 2005 Acknowledgements Sir Winston Churchill described the act of writing a book as to surviving a long and debilitating illness. As with all illnesses, the afflicted are forced to rely heavily on many to see them through their suffering. Thanks must go to my joint supervisors, Dr. Jeffrey Grey and Dr. Steve Harris. Dr. Grey agreed to supervise the thesis having only met me briefly at a conference. With the unenviable task of working with a student more than 10,000 kilometres away, he was harassed by far too many lengthy emails emanating from Canada. He allowed me to carve out the thesis topic and research with little constraints, but eventually reined me in and helped tighten and cut down the thesis to an acceptable length. Closer to home, Dr. Harris has offered significant support over several years, leading back to my first book, to which he provided careful editorial and historical advice. He has supported a host of other historians over the last two decades, and is the finest public historian working in Canada. His expertise at balancing the trials of writing official history and managing ongoing crises at the Directorate of History and Heritage are a model for other historians in public institutions, and he took this dissertation on as one more burden. I am a far better historian for having known him.

  • Canadian Infantry Combat Training During the Second World War
    SHARPENING THE SABRE: CANADIAN INFANTRY COMBAT TRAINING DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR By R. DANIEL PELLERIN BBA (Honours), Wilfrid Laurier University, 2007 BA (Honours), Wilfrid Laurier University, 2008 MA, University of Waterloo, 2009 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in History University of Ottawa Ottawa, Ontario, Canada © Raymond Daniel Ryan Pellerin, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 ii ABSTRACT “Sharpening the Sabre: Canadian Infantry Combat Training during the Second World War” Author: R. Daniel Pellerin Supervisor: Serge Marc Durflinger 2016 During the Second World War, training was the Canadian Army’s longest sustained activity. Aside from isolated engagements at Hong Kong and Dieppe, the Canadians did not fight in a protracted campaign until the invasion of Sicily in July 1943. The years that Canadian infantry units spent training in the United Kingdom were formative in the history of the Canadian Army. Despite what much of the historical literature has suggested, training succeeded in making the Canadian infantry capable of succeeding in battle against German forces. Canadian infantry training showed a definite progression towards professionalism and away from a pervasive prewar mentality that the infantry was a largely unskilled arm and that training infantrymen did not require special expertise. From 1939 to 1941, Canadian infantry training suffered from problems ranging from equipment shortages to poor senior leadership. In late 1941, the Canadians were introduced to a new method of training called “battle drill,” which broke tactical manoeuvres into simple movements, encouraged initiative among junior leaders, and greatly boosted the men’s morale.

There has been debate about how and where to schedule our events. Your input is very welcome. Spring will most likely remain a three day so that we can accommodate entries. It will be moving one weekend earlier to mid May to move it another weekend away from EI event. We will be May 12-14, 2017. The Area VII council meets to discuss dates. The only option we were offered for fall was mid October. I have repeatedly suggested that is too late for our far travel- ing folks --Montana especially. I have asked to move up at least one week which places us back to back with EI. There are no other options as everything marches out at a two week interval. Could you find me and let me know your thoughts on this matter this weekend.
