Family Day Extravaganza Andrzej Terrence, Special to TC Media

CORNWALL, Ontario - The whole family was able to have fun on Monday, Feb. 19 with colourful face painting, crafty balloon animals, and fantastic prizes, all for a great cause.

The Bereaved Families of Ontario, Cornwall office, held their first annual Family Fun Day Extravaganza to raise funds in order to help those who have lost loved ones around Cornwall.

The agency relies purely on funds donated by the community through events like those held last Monday.

“These events are critical to our success as an agency and we really appreciate the support given by the community,” said Francis Rounding, a key organizer for the group.

The agency has been aiding people who have lost loved ones for 31 years and has helped almost 1,000 people during 2016.

“People come to us who have been referred

by the Community Health Association, from psychiatrists and doctors because we deal and specialize in facilitating grief,” explained Rounding.

The event hoped to raise almost $1,000 with the Extravaganza with the aid of numerous volunteers.

“I’ve been volunteering as a professional, as a lot of people I was meeting in my field were coming in with grief issues and I saw how much better they felt after meeting with the Bereaved Families,” explained Pauline Lariviere, who is a mental health counselor with Child and Youth Mental Health Services.

Pauline ran the face painting and balloon animal stations at the event while assisting some of the other stations.

Many other groups within the community supported the event like Cogeco and the Cornwall Police.

The Bereaved Families of Ontario plans to host events like this every month with rumours of a garage sale and bazaar set for July.

Locomotive #17: Where should it be moved to? littlehistorian@live.ca

Since November 2016, Locomotive #17 (which is currently located on the South East corner of Brookdale and Ninth Streets) has become a heated topic. The biggest issue in debate was whether City Council should or should not put money aside to refurbish the Locomotive that evidently needed to be repaired. Doug McOuat from the Ontario Electric Railway Historical Association stated that “two of Canada’s top Railway Museums consider Locomotive #17 to be in good condition. Both of these museums have over 60 years of experience, and they both have a Cornwall locomotive in their collection.”

When the Locomotive was designated as historically significant in 2006 under a heritage designation (designation in the province of Ontario “allows municipalities and the provincial government to designate individual properties and districts in the Province of Ontario, as being of cultural heritage value or interest.”

When a property is designated, it means that “the municipal council has the responsibility to protect buildings and properties that are of cultural significance”) City Council at that time promised to put $10,000 into the Locomotive to secure its upkeep. They did not keep that promise. However, in June, our current City Council decided to put money aside to refurbish the

Locomotive which is estimated to cost approximately $85,000.

The next issue to arise, is that the city believes the Locomotive needs to be moved to another location in Cornwall. The biggest question to follow suit was, “where could it be moved to?” On February 7, 2018, a survey was released asking the public for their input on where the locomotive should be moved to. Three months prior to, Cornwall’s Waterfront Committee began discussing the option of having the Locomotive grace Lamoureux Park. This idea was quickly shot down, and I do not agree or disagree with their decision. Lamoureux Park is a beautiful green area for the public to enjoy, however, most of the land that makes up Lamoureux Park is landfill. This means that the land in Lamoureux Park may not be solid enough to hold the 70-ton Locomotive. If the engine were to be moved to our waterfront area, and it did eventually sink into the ground, lifting it would bring more expenses to the city.

The other side to this suggestion, is that the RCAFA building, the Cornwall Community Museum, and the Civic Complex are all heavy buildings that are situated in the park, albeit on grounds that are “original” — not landfill. Could areas near these places hold the Locomotive’s weight?

An ideal and historically appropriate location for the Locomotive, would be the Cotton Mill area. In the early 1900s train tracks went directly to this area, and they were used daily.

Cornwall grew and thrived on the success of its mills, and a lot of that success can be attributed

This picture of the Locomotive is from when it was outside of Domtar Smith Paper Mill on July 28th, 1966. This photo is from the collection of Jim Sandilands. to the shipping that was done via rail. Restored, the Locomotive would be an important historical addition to this area. The Waterfront committee was concerned that the engine would become “a target for graffiti.” I believe having the Locomotive in the Cotton Mill area will deter vandals from damaging this piece of history, because it would be under the eyes of the condo dwellers and citizens visiting local busi-

nesses in that area.

Cornwall has lost countless of historically significant properties to fires and unpredictable tragedies, but it has unfortunately lost much of its history to neglect. We should be proud of the history that remains in our city, and I believe it would be ideal to do all that we can to protect the history we still have left.

Homes for Hospice Nick Seebruch

nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - Century 21 has been a strong supporter of Carefor Hospice Cornwall and they have pledged to increase that support going into the future.

Century 21’s partnership with Hospice Cornwall began a year ago with a Mastermind group of six people at Century 21 who wanted to contribute more to the community.

Sophie Goudreau, Wayne Thompson, Luc Poirier, Doris DeBoer, Bill MacDonald and Mike VanderMeer all agreed that Hospice was a good fit for them.

“Hospice affects us personally in a lot of ways,” said Goudreau.

Recently one of their colleagues had passed away, and in her final days received care at Hospice Cornwall.

Starting last year, the original six members of the Master Mind group, and then many more, started to donate their time and money to support Carefor Hospice Cornwall.

Over the past year, at every fundraising event that Hospice has held, members of

Century 21 have been sponsors, or have volunteered or have contributed in some other way.

Now, there is a new initiative that Century 21 has started to carry that support even further.

Troy Vallaincourt, co-owner of Century 21 announced on Thursday, Feb. 15, 2018 the new Hospice Home program.

Realtors with Century 21 can choose to make their listing a Hospice Home and agree to donate a percentage of their commission from the sale of the home to Carefor Hospice Cornwall.

He explained that it was up to the individual Realtors to choose which houses they wanted to be a part of the program. Every house that is a part of the program will have a Hospice Home sign above the “For Sale” sign to let prospective buyers and the community know that part of the sale is going to a local charity.

“For me, I will do this on every single listing,” said Valliancourt. “You are going to see these signs all over town pretty quick.”

Sandy Collette, Fundraising Coordinator with Carefor Hospice Cornwall said that this program will have a significant impact on the

The money they raise will go to replace matcentre.

PaRKing at the inglesiDe anD long sault shoPPing CentRes Section 10.2 of the South Stormont Parking By-law prohibits the parking of vehicles in the Fire Access Route in front of the South Stormont Shopping Centers.

Parking is defined as “… the Standing of a Vehicle, whether occupied or not except when Standing temporarily for the purpose of and while actually engaged in loading or unloading merchandise or passengers.” This definition does not include waiting for somebody to return from the Post Office, restaurant, bank or store.

A common misconception appears to be that as long as the vehicle is not put into “Park”, the vehicle is not considered parked. In many cases, those with mobility issues are the ones who make efforts to comply with the By-law; in some cases, while trying to dodge vehicles illegally parked by able bodied people. The set fine is $50. Please don’t park in front of the shopping centres.

OPINION

Raising taxes and losing money Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

Whether you are in favour of taxes or not, if you live in Cornwall, your residential tax rate will be going up this year. I want to make sure that our readers understand why taxes are going up.

The more the voters understand, the more informed their decisions will be come election time.

Right off the bat, I feel like more readers should know that even though the City raised residential taxes in 2017 by 1.7 percent they lost over $500, 000. That’s no small chunk of change.

The City increased taxes and lost money, and this was after the City cut significant revenue from the budget that year.

City administration had originally said that they required a residential tax increase of over 4 percent in order to maintain their operating levels from 2016. Councillors balked at such a drastic increase as 4 percent. This year 4 percent is exactly what some councillors are hoping for as administration came back and said they would need at least 8 percent to maintain their operat-

ing levels from last year.

To reach that magical 4 percent, Councillors will have to cut at least $2.5 million from the budget, less they run a deficit like they did last year and that means another round of deep cuts, but where will those cuts come from?

In order to cut $2.5 million from the City budget Council will have to make some serious cuts to service. I frequently hear the argument about how taxes are so much lower in the surrounding Townships, but they don’t have to pay for services like transit, their cost of policing and paramedic services are much lower.

Do residents of Cornwall want to live in a city with drastic cuts to services like social housing and Meals on Wheels, two programs that are largely beneficial to seniors.

Council needs to do a lot of catching up to do from last year. Last year council raised taxes and lost more than a half-million dollars. This year they will again be fighting inflation, the increased cost of fuel, the requirement to maintain essential services and more.

A 4 percent tax increase sounds a lot nicer

than an increase of 8 percent, it is half after all, Readers, what do you think? Where can the but is it good policy or good politics. Cutting a city cut and save money? What services could tax rate in half would be a political victory for you live without? council, but it could be a policy defeat for the Send me your Letters to the Editor with your City if it means a drastic loss of service, or runopinions at nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc. ning a deficit as the City did last year.

Farming farmland Dear Editor, I am old enough to remember when Pierre Elliot Trudeau expropiated farmland in Mirabel Quebec to build the Mirabel airport. There were protests in the street, letters to the editors

of newspapers and calls into the radio stations.

Today a greenhouse that previously grew tomatoes has now been converted to growing marijuana, and yesterday, a greenhouse in British Columbia which previously grew green peppers,

is now being converted to grow 100,000 canna- vegetables to 4 marijuana cigarettes a day..

How time has changed, and I am not sure for bis plants.

Not a word from your opposition politians, the better.

nomination forms and rules, the agenda, and constitution and by-law amendments.

Since the museum is publicly funded, interested people should have the opportunity to become members, serve on the board of directors, discuss the direction of the museum and the Historical Society, vote on the amendments to the constitution and bylaws, and vote on the actions of the board in 2017. The board is accountable to the membership.

For those interested in ensuring that the past history of Cornwall is preserved and available for

all to enjoy and in attending the AGM, you should know that membership applications are available at the museum and must be submitted by 3:30 p.m. on Thursday March 1 and approved by the present board. There will be no nominations from the floor as in the past. Nomination forms for the board are available from the staff person at the museum and must also be submitted at the museum by 3:30 p.m. on March 1.

Dear Editor: It has come to my attention that the SD&G Historical Society, which has a lease agreement with the City of Cornwall to operate the Cornwall Community Museum, will be holding its AGM on Saturday March 31 at 1 p.m. at the museum.

Unfortunately, it appears that board members of the Historical Society have decided to not advertise the AGM to the public but to rely on word of mouth for new members. Apparently, the public will not be informed of the AGM information such as date/time, new membership &

put in place an open and fair competition to hire a qualified curator, thereby denying several qualified persons the opportunity to apply for the position. With its unfair hiring practice and lack of transparency to even advertise their AGM to the public, the board has done a disservice to the Cornwall Community Museum, the Historical Society, and the community.

We deserve better.

Yours truly, Brian Lynch, Member of SD&G Historical Society

lacrosse.

Tarbell, a two-time all-American at Syracuse University and member of five halls of fame, died last month in Syracuse at age 57 after a lengthy illness.

In a 1982 game, Tarbell set a Syracuse field lacrosse team record with nine goals. The mark still stands.

A lacrosse historian/author once called Tarbell one of the two greatest attackers in Syracuse University field lacrosse history. The other being National Football League legend Jim Brown.

Tarbell’s feared shot was well-known in local lacrosse circles. After Syracuse he played for Akwesasne.

“Right off the bat, you remember what a great player he was,” former Syracuse assistant coach John Desko told a Syracuse newspaper.

“I didn’t think there was anyone who could physically cover him. He was very creative. He got his whole body behind it (shot). It was really hard for anyone physically to match up with him. He was like a fullback. If he got a head of steam, forget it.”

At LaFayette High School, Tarbell earned all-county honours in football and all-American recognition in basketball.

Tarbell is a member of the Lafayette High School, Cobleskill Community College, National Junior College Athletic Association, Ontario Lacrosse Association and Akwesasne halls of fame.

HERE AND THERE Stormont-DundasSouth Glengarry MP Guy Lauzon is throwing his vote and support to Caroline Mulroney in the provincial Conservative leadership battle.

He is a former Christine Elliott supporter. ...

Not sure what this means, but Family Day gives casinos in the province one of their best Mondays. ... Reader asks why don’t we ever see the headline “Psychic wins lottery”? ... Just a

thought, but why are thousands of federal civil servants not being properly compensated because of the Phoenix pay system screw up but MPs continue to be paid on time? ...

Wonder if Justin Trudeau sometimes asks himself, “What would the old man do?” ... With the turmoil within the provincial Conservative ranks, one would think the poll numbers would suffer. Not so. Latest poll shows the Tories up to 49% from 47%.

TRIVA Cornwall’s deadliest fire claimed 12 lives, including four members of a family. It was 1) The 1933 Pitt Street fire, 2) The 1909 Rossmore House fire, 3) The 1971 boarding house fire at Fourth and Augustus streets, 4) The 1956 Royal Hotel fire, 5) The 1963 fire that destroyed three business blocks at Pitt and Third streets.

TRIVIA ANSWER After the all-girls Roman Catholic Ecole Secondaire Ste-Croix closed, it was purchased by the separate school board and turned into an elementary school, L’Ecole Marie-Tanguay.

SPORTS STUFF I agree with one of the old sweats, Connie Payment, that Billy Carter just might be the best Cornwall hockey product never to play in the National Hockey League. ...

There is a sure-fire way to make a small fortunate with a Federal Hockey League franchise start with a big fortune. ... Wonder what the viewership was for that 2:40 a.m. Olympic hockey game - Switzerland vs South Korea? ...

Justice was not only swift in the 1930s, but brutally harsh.

On Feb. 19, 1930, just 14 hours after they were arrested and charged with armed robbery and breaking into three Cornwall businesses, three teenagers - aged 17, 18 and 19 were slapped with seven-year prison sentences and 20 lashes.

The youths - two of them brothers - entered guilty pleas the morning after being arrested while breaking into Lawn’s Tobacco Store and Pool Hall at First and Pitt streets.

During questioning at the police station by Chief Fred Seymour, the youths admitted to the armed robbery of grocery Michael Mulhern at his store and breaking into three businesses.

They admitted to owning two .32-calibre revolvers, a large knife and brass-knuckles.

The next morning, in police court, they were sentenced by Magistrate J. C. Milligan.

Three hours later they were headed west on Highway 2 to Kingston Penitentiary. None of the three was represented by a lawyer.

The brothers told the court that they were orphans. The other lad insisted he was just 15 years old and produced a birth certificate.

However, court records showed that a year earlier he had been charged as a 16 year old. The magistrate ignored the birth certificate and accepted the court record.

Shortly after their arrival at the penitentiary they were each given 10 lashes. The other 10 were administered the day before leaving the penitentiary.

In a front-page editorial, the Cornwall

Freeholder praised the stiff sentence handed down by the judge and called it a fine example of “speedy Canadian justice.”

Compared to today’s lumbering court system, that one travelled the speed of light.

ALSO THIS WEEK IN 1930 The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company (A & P) opened its second Cornwall store at 155 Pitt St. ... John Entwistle was granted a building permit to construct a service station on vacant land just west of the Capitol Theatre on Second Street West. Councillor A. C. Robertson objected to the permit, saying service stations should not be built in the downtown. ... A destitute family of four walking from Montreal to Toronto was given overnight lodging at city hall. The family with no means of financial support was making its way to Toronto to live with a relative and look for work. Town police gave the family enough money to buy a train ticket to Brockville. ... Dismissed from his job as caretaker of the town dump by two councillors who gave the job to a handicapped man, the former employee was given his job back by council. The councillors who relieved the man of his duties said they did it to save the town money by taking the handicapped individual off the welfare rolls and moving the employee to a lesser paying job. The town dump job paid $12 a week. ... A report showed that there were 79 public schools in Stormont with 3,566 students and 106 teachers. ... For his third intoxication in a public place offence, a city man was given four months in the county jail. ... During a search of a vehicle, town police seized what was believed to be one of the original revolvers invented by Col. Sam Colt 100 years earlier. ********************** Greg Tarbell was the kind of opponent that kept goaltenders awake at night thinking of the guy who owned one of the hardest shots in

CORNWALL, Ontario - The best way to raise funds for a good cause in Canada is to host a hockey tournament of course.

That is exactly what Allister McDonell and Colton Gallant did this weekend.

At the Paul Rozon ice rink in Williamstown, Ontario, McDonell, and Gallant gathered hockey players, bands, a bar, and a number of prizes

to raise funds for the Jillian Mclaughlin Foundation and Beyond Twenty one.

“There are people from all over; Casselman, Cornwall, Williamstown, Alexandria. It’s a good time,” explained Colton.

The tournament held 15 teams and came close to three hundred people coming out to the event.

30 Years of Business Excellence CORNWALLANDAREA

CHAMBEROFCOMMERCE

Business Excellence and Citizen of the Year Awards

30 Years of Excellence Cornwall’s leading professionals for a gala evening during which a number of their business colleagues are honoured.

In planning each event, the Chamber team and its Directors develop an interesting theme, one that reflects the nature of the event and creates an exciting appeal for the guests. This approach to the evening has proven to be a popular one as the guest numbers are traditionally high.

In celebrating its 30th anniversary of Business Excellence, the Chamber has chosen a ‘James Bond’ theme and Bond aficionados will be ‘shaken not stirred’ as they are captivated by the ‘Casino Royale’ decor.

The gala evening begins with a reception and a Bond-theme signature drink, followed by a spectacular, four course dinner and the awards ceremony.

The business awards consist of seven categories with an additional three special awards along with the prestigious Citizen of the Year. Nominations for each of the awards are reviewed by a nomination committee, and once the decisions are made for each category, the committee submits the recommended winner to the Chamber President.

The Cornwall Chamber of Commerce, celebrating close to 130 years of service to the community, commits itself as both an advocate and champion. The Business Excellence Awards is one of the many ways it works to showcase the city and the people who help it to grow and to prosper.

30 Years of Business Excellence — A Presidents Perspective The Cornwall Chamber of Commerce is both an advocate and a supporter for my business and hundreds of other businesses throughout the Cornwall area. My company has been a member for many years and has long enjoyed the benefits offered by the Chamber, an association that has served the business community and the community at large for close to 130 years.

I’m particularly pleased to offer my thoughts on this, the 30th anniversary of the Chamber’s distinguished Business Excellence Awards. Looking back, it was in 1988 that the late Bernie Kennedy, a local business professional, was President. It was during his tenure that the Business Awards was established, and it came about due to the vision of two Chamber Directors: Michael Mills and Rick Shaver.

No doubt, Bernie, if he were still here, would be justifiably proud of the Business Awards and how the event has grown. Other former Presidents: Jim Shea, Denis Thibault, Rick Eamon, Brian Gilmour, Paul Connolly, Mark Smelko, Peter Gault, Terry Landon, Pierre Lefebvre, Deb Rioux, Scott Armstrong, Kevin Hargreaves, Rick Shaver and Denis Carr would be equally as proud.

There have been many memorable moments during the 30 years that the Business Excellence Awards have been presented, and a number of Cornwall’s premier business leaders have been honoured.

Looking back 30 years to 1988 reveals that Seaway Loeb IGA was the first Business of the Year winner. It was recognized again in 1992 as Business of the Years for its work in combating the economy-draining cross border crisis.

There were many other notable winners as the Awards grew and gained prominence. In 1995, the

Lifetime Business Achievement Award was added to the list with Lionel Grant and George Kaneb the inaugural winners. Two year’s later, it was the ‘two-Georges’ as long time downtown business owners and supporters, George Assaly and Georges Pommier were honoured.

The event continued to grow and in 1998, the Chamber established the Breakthrough Award, one that recognized an extraordinary event that positively impacted the entire community. Then, in 2005, a special award was established in the name of Dr. Garth Taylor, a local Ophthalmologist who gave time at his own expense to treat people in Africa and Central America.

It was named the Dr. Garth Taylor Humanitarian Award and Sister Elaine Robitaille, Dr. Nat Shah and Dr. Rachel Navaneelan, along with Dr. Taylor have all been named recipients.

In celebrating its 30th anniversary, the Business Excellence Awards are now conferred in 10 categories.

Coupled with the newly created Young Professionals Award along with the prestigious Citizen of the Year, the event has become one of the Chamber’s most distinguished affairs. On February 24, over 200 Cornwall and area business professionals will gather at the NAV Centre to salute their peers.

Cornwall is a city that we can be proud of, and as Chamber President, I am pleased to be a part an association that contributes much to the community and salutes its best and brightest.

It is one of Cornwall’s most distinguished affairs and this year, it celebrates its 30th anniversary. The Cornwall Chamber of Commerce is about to present this special chapter of its annual Business Excellence Awards.

It was in 1972 that the Chamber established the prestigious Citizen of the Year Awards as a way of paying tribute to a local individual whose selfless contribution to the community and its people made it a better place. For the next 45 years, countless local citizens have been honoured for their unwavering commitment to helping people Now, jump ahead to 1987 and as two Chamber Directors, Michael Mills and Rick Shaver attended the event, they couldn’t help but notice the somewhat modest number of guests in attendance. Realizing it was an important occasion for the community, they wondered how it could be enhanced to attract a larger audience.

As it happened, Director Mills had become aware of business awards events in other cities.

Armed with that knowledge, he and Shaver put their heads together, came up with an idea, and bounced it off the Chamber’s newly appointed Executive Manager, Lezlie Strasser.

It goes without saying her reaction was positive and the next step was to present a proposal to the entire Chamber Board. The response was unanimously in favour and the Business Excellence Awards was established.

30 years later, the Awards banquet has become one of the Cornwall Chamber’s premier events. This distinguished annual affair brings together more than 250 of

SYDNEY, Australia - Two title belts will be at stake April 11 in Sydney, Australia, in a collision of world-ranked lightweights at the 4,500-seat Quaycentre in Olympic Park.

Undefeated George “Ferocious” Kambosos Jr., ranked No. 6 by the World Boxing Association, will defend his WBA Oceania championship on his home turf in the 12-round main event against current NABA lightweight champion and former world title challenger Tony “Lightning” Luis. Luis, a Canadian, is the WBA’s 11th-ranked lightweight.

The title fight will top a multi-bout card promoted by Australia-based Whack Promotions, in association with Liveco Boxing of Toronto.

“I’m thrilled to bring such a world-class fight to Sydney,” said Oliver Josecki, CEO of Whack Promotions. “Kambosos Jr. vs. Luis really is a massive and genuine fight. The winner will become a legitimate contender for the lightweight crown and I’m really looking forward to it. I want to thank all our sponsors and Liveco Boxing for making this fight happen. Bring on April 11th.”

Kambosos (13-0, 7 KOs), just 24, last fought in October, scoring four knockdowns in a ninthround TKO victory over Thailand’s Krai Setthaphon (25-3) in Melbourne, Australia.

Kambosos prepared for that fight by sparring 45 rounds with Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao, the 11-time world champion who was training to fight fellow Australian Jeff Horn.

“It will be a great fight, but I’m going to give this boy a boxing lesson,” said Kambosos Jr. “He’s

just another guy in the way of my world title shot. Big thanks to Oliver from Whack Promotions for giving me this opportunity.”

Luis, 30, will arrive with a record of 25-3 (8 knockouts) and a six-fight winning streak, including a 10-round unanimous decision over Giovanni Straffon (14-3-1) in October and a 10-round dismantling of the previously undefeated Cam O’Connell (15-0 10 KO’s) in June to capture the NABA lightweight title in his hometown of Cornwall, Ontario.

“I am not coming to Australia to make friends, I’m coming to make fans,” said Luis. “He’ll teach me how to box? Cool. I’ll teach him how to fight. I’m not concerned with winning or losing.

I’m coming to break something. He’s going to remember me for the rest of his life.”

Luis is unbeaten since 2015, when he lost a narrow, 12-round decision to British star Derry Matthews in a WBA lightweight world championship bout.

“This is the exact type of fight I’ve been looking to secure for Tony for quite some time,” said Denis Benoit, CEO of Liveco Boxing. “We have a lot of respect for the Australian boxing community, its fair regulation, and we’re coming to win. George is a talented boxer with quick hands and paramount confidence, much like the other top-rated undefeated prospects who have challenged Tony is the past, yet struggled to win a single round against him. It’s Tony Luis 2.0 and he’s never been better. Fight fans are in for a real treat on April 11th.”

Ticket information and undercard bouts will be announced shortly.

Theodore commits to AIC

Sharks Women’s team wins La Cite Invitational Provided by St. Lawrence College OTTAWA, Ontario - The Sharks allowed just two goals all day as they took home the championship title at La Cite Hockey Invitational tournament on Feb. 1 in Ottawa.

The win improves on last year’s results at the same tournament, where St. Lawrence took home the silver medal.

The Sharks earned the gold with a

resounding 6-0 victory over the host La Cite Coyotes in the championship game. With a twogoal lead after the first period, SLC exploded with four goals in the second period and put in a great defensive effort to complete the shutout.

It was the Sharks’ second victory of the day over the Coyotes. St. Lawrence started the tournament against the hosts with a 3-1 win. They

then faced the Boreal Vipers, in a game that the Sharks won 5-1 to advance to the finals.

The results in Ottawa were an improvement over the team’s first tournament of the season in Lindsay at the Fleming Invitational, where they went 0-3 with losses to Humber and two teams from Georgian.

The Sharks will next see action at the Georgian Invitational on March 9 in Barrie.

Provided by the Cornwall Colts CORNWALL, Ontario - Cornwall Colts forward Chris Theodore has committed to American International College (AIC).

The 20 year old Beaconsfield, Quebec native (16 goals in 22 games before suffering an injury), will represent the Yellow Jackets NCAA Division 1 hockey team beginning this fall.

“This is a great opportunity for me,” said Theodore. “The program is getting stronger and continues to improve.”

“Chris has a solid skill set that serve him well at AIC,” said Colts GM and Coach Ian MacInnis.

“His tenacity and drive will help achieve his goals.”

Theodore may return to the Colts line up in time for the playoffs (early March).

The Colts return to action with their 4th Annual Family Day game on Monday, February 19th when they host the Hawkesbury Hawks.

It’s free admission to kids 12 & under. Game time is 3pm at the Ed Lumley Arena.

Le canton de Glengarry nord remportent un autre prix pour son « Programme d’amélioration communautaire » TORONTO, Ontario - La « Economic Development Council of Ontario » a fait la remise de ses Prix d’excellence. Le canton de Glengarry nord a remporté un deuxième prix pour son « Programme d’amélioration communautaire » dans la catégorie d’initiatives en

urbanisme et en bâtiment.

Le besoin d’avoir un plan d’amélioration communautaire « PAC » a été communiqué par la communauté de Glengarry nord. Ce programme vise à la préservation et à l’amélioration d’éléments architecturaux dans les centresvilles de Maxville et d’Alexandria. Les résultats de ce programme ont de loin dépassé les attentes. Depuis le lancement du programme la participation des propriétaires fut immédiate et

revenues en mémoire. “Savais-tu madame qu’en Corée du Sud que les élèves retournent à l’école après le souper?” me disent les élèves avec un sourire! Les élèves se souviennent que les mathématiques et les sciences sont deux matières dans lesquelles les Coréens excellent!

Savez-vous qu’en Corée du Sud qu’il y a plus d’appartements que de maisons? C’est aussi ce que j’ai appris lors de ma visite dans la classe de 2e année.

D’ailleurs à Séoul, la population est très nombreuse, plus nombreuse que Montréal, Toronto et Ottawa réunies, wow!

En Corée, les sports les plus populaires sont le baseball et le soccer. La monnaie s’appelle le Won et 10 000 won sont équivalents à 11$ canadien. On pourrait être millionnaire en Corée, mais cela ne vaudrait pas tant que cela revenu ici! Faites le calcul!

Merci aux élèves de 2e année de la classe de Mme Martine Chabot qui m’ont permise de voyager avec eux!

Les amis de la classe de Mme Martine Chabot ont reçu dernièrement la visite de Mme de Haan. Mme de Haan est la maman de Ryan et Taylor de Haan qui fréquentent l’école Rose des Vents.

En ce temps de compétitions olympiques, Mme de Haan est venue raconter aux élèves comment elle a vécu un séjour en Corée du Sud, alors qu’elle était monitrice dans un camp de ski. Lors de ma visite dans leur classe, les élèves m’ont raconté avec des sourires ce qu’ils ont retenu de cet exposé sur ce pays situé entre le Japon et la Chine.

Tout d’abord, le côté alimentaire est rapidement ressorti. Comme le fait de manger avec des baguettes et des cuillères pour la soupe et de s’habituer à ne pas utiliser des fourchettes et des couteaux. Un élève m’a aussi informée que là-bas, les pizzas peuvent se déguster avec des pieuvres sur le dessus. On m’a aussi raconté qu’ils mangent du kimchii et que le kimchi est un repas à base de chou et de viande. Les plats lors des repas sont souvent placés au centre de la table.

Toutefois, ce qui a vraiment eu un impact sur les élèves c’est le fait que les tables sont basses dans les maisons et restaurants et qu’il n’existe pas de chaise.

On s’assoit sur des coussins!

Ensuite, les informations retenues sur les écoles sont

La cérémonie de remise des prix rend hommage aux lauréats et célèbre les mentions honorables pour leurs efforts visant à promouvoir leurs communautés en matière d’emplacement et de tourisme. Les initiatives de développements économiques sont également jugées dans le cadre du processus. Un panneau de juges experts ont examiné toutes les soumissions allant de brochures promotionnelles jusqu’aux projets de développement d’infrastructure.

Le canton aimerait souligner les contributions de Mlle Kerri Strotmann qui ont assuré la réussite de ce projet durant son mandat comme agente de développement économique pour le canton de Glengarry nord. Il est aussi important de souligner le travail de M. Daniel Gagnon qui occupait auparavant le poste de Directeur général du canton et sous lequel ce programme a été mise en place.

New discovery may alter timeline of humans Sultan Jessa

It is widely believed East Africa was the cradle of mankind.

Dr. Louis Leakey, the Kenya-born son of an English missionary, had a long held belief that humanity was in fact rooted in East Africa.

In 1959, Leakey and his wife Mary discovered remains in Tanzania’s Olduvai Gorge.

During my younger reporting days, I did

several stories on Dr. Leakey and his research in my former country of Tanzania.

Leakey spent many years looking and digging for bones of early human beings.

Many years later, after finding remains in the country, South Africa became the new centre of attraction about our origin.

Now, a discovery in India sheds new light on our origin.

A few ago weeks scientists reported evidence that our species left Africa earlier that we thought.

Another discovery is suggesting the date

might be pushed back much further.

Homo sapiens arose in Africa at least 300,000 years ago and left to colonize the globe.

Scientists think there were several dispersals from Africa, not all equally successful.

Last week’s report of a human jaw showed some members of human species had reached Israel by 177,000 to 194,000 years ago.

A discovery in India of some tools, shows a style that has been associated elsewhere with our species.

They were fashioned from 385,000 years ago to 172,000 years ago.

This starting point is a lot earlier than scientists generally think Homo Sapiens left Africa.

Research in India shows there was a change from older stone tools found at the site.

Michael Petraglia, an archeologist who specializes in human evolution in Asia, but didn’t participate in the work, said he did not think the tools show that our species had left Africa so long ago.

He adds one of our evolutionary cousins in India developed the tool style independently of outside influence.

The research continues.

CORNWALL, Ontario - A new Arts Hall of Fame for Cornwall was unveiled at a breakfast on Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2018 at the Cornwall Legion.

The Hall of Fame is stored digitally and will be displayed on a 55” flat screen television donated by Best Buy. The inaugural class includes five artists and has been lauded as the cornerstone from which a future Cornwall Arts Centre could be built.

The first class of the Cornwall Arts Hall of Fame includes the following five people, Edith H. Stiles, Tom Thompson, Ron Sullivan, Lionel Tessier, and Andy Trasuk.

“I think the important points are that this occasion was the launch of the new and very modern Arts Hall of Fame for Cornwall and Area,” said Elaine MacDonald, a Cornwall City Councillor, and a member of the Center for Arts Collective, which is dedicated to bringing an arts centre to Cornwall.

“Our ultimate goal is to see an art centre established but the Hall of Fame is an effort to build a piece of it, the eventual centre, now, and in so doing, to honour those giants who have created, produced and displayed arts for decades, so this generation and those to follow, have a great foundation from which to grow,” she said. “Arts and culture are the life force of a community and we want to celebrate and enshrine it, to make it a focal point for people’s aspirations and sense of identity.”

Three local organizations have made financial contributions towards a Cornwall Arts Centre. At the breakfast The Seeker donated $2,500, Focus Art contributed $500, and OBO Studios was recognized for their original donation of $50, which was made some years previously. MacDonald said that OBO was one of the first contributors to the arts centre initiative.

Tracy Chisholm of OBO Studios said that she had been approached by Elaine MacDonald years ago with the idea of building an arts centre in Cornwall and contributed the money she had on hand right on the spot.

“Elaine just said she had this idea five-to-six years ago and I said, “here’s $50”,” said Chisholm.

“I hope it keeps growing.”

Co-chair of the Arts Collective, Rose Desnoyers said that the digital Arts Hall of Fame will be accessible to the public and is bilingual.

“The digital program is totally bilingual, inclusive and user friendly,” she said “This virtual Hall of Fame (TV) will be installed at the Benson Centre but made available to all organizations wishing to include it in their event. The contact person is Lorne Taillon at the Benson Centre.”

Desnoyers went on to explain that she was proud of the work the Collective has done so far to reach its goal and was very appreciative of the community support that they have received.

“As co-chair of the Centre for the arts Collective with John McMartin, I am very pleased with the team work and dedication of this group of individuals passionately devoted

Shar’s Tip of the Week A clean freak will point out that it’s actually unsanitary to dry dishes with a cloth because is passes germs from one dish to another (especially because dishcloths are usually used to wipe not only dishes but just about everything else in the kitchen). The most sanitary and efficient way to dry dishes is to let them air-dry. If you have hard water or feel that glassware needs to be dried to prevent streaks and spotting, than us a super absorbent cotton terry cloth or cotton/ lined for glassware.

There are now five people in this leadership race and it seems to be all about who resigned what, who’s someone’s father is, who’s someone’s brother was, did he or didn’t he do something criminal, and on and on it goes. Hopefully sometime in the next two weeks these wannabe leaders actually talk about some issues and policies.

Mr. Rémi Marcoux named to the Cercle des Grands entrepreneurs du Québec Press release from TC Media

MONTREAL, Québec - We are very proud to announce that our founder, Mr. Rémi Marcoux, has been selected as a member of the Cercle des Grands entrepreneurs du Québec. This new distinction was awarded to him at an evening tribute on February 6 to launch the first edition of the Cercle honouring six exceptional entrepreneurs, namely Rémi Marcoux, Alain Bouchard, Aldo Bensadoun, Lino Saputo, Lise Watier and Serge Godin.

This initiative was jointly created by La Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, the National Bank of Canada and Desjardins Group. It aims to honour and recognize the great entrepreneurs of Québec, who, through their achievements, ideals and commitments, have contributed to Québec’s entrepreneurial vitality and economic development.

The honourees of the Cercle’s 2018 edition were chosen by a jury comprised of entrepreneurs and members of the business communities of various regions and sectors.

A travelling exhibition highlighting the journeys of Mr. Marcoux and the other five honourees will be presented in several cities in Québec through mid-March. A public space devoted to the Grands entrepreneurs du Québec will be created at the end of this tour to enable them to continue inspiring future generations. For more details on the tour, visit the Cercle des Grands entrepreneurs du Québec website.

Congratulations to Mr. Marcoux on this prestigious recognition!
