February 20, 2014 (Canandaigua, NY) ─ It’s been a close contest as residents at Horizons, a DePaul Senior Living Community in Canandaigua, have competed for red, blue and yellow ribbons in an Olympic competition. Residents were divided into three teams: Diamonds in the Rough, Ruby Rockers and Emerald Islanders.

Teams competed in events including downhill skiing, which entailed a 100-foot wheelchair race; slalom, which was similar to downhill skiing only with obstacles; hockey; an Olympic word jumble; curling using a shuffle board and a word search. Teams could also earn points based on their team’s spirit in cheering one another on.

Pictured above are winners of the hockey competition Caroline Magill, June Cameron, and Betty Ivers, along with word search champions June Cameron, Dan Troy, Brad Stanton.

Pictured here are downhill ski champions Charles VanDeMar, Paul Lang, Brad Stanton and Dan Troy, as well as the winners of the curling competition, June Cameron, Paul Lang and Charles VanDeMar.

The final standings were Diamonds in the Rough in first place, Ruby Rockers in second and Emerald Island earning third place. For more information about Horizons, please contact Administrator Melissa Brien (585) 396-3390 or visit us on Facebook.
