7475651

CORNWALL, Ontario - Rachel’s Kids has announced Sean Cowan, a Grade 9 St. Lawrence Secondary School student, as this year’s coChair for the annual Rachel’s Kids Garden Party.

Sean was diagnosed with a form of Leukemia in 2015, but is nearing his goal of recovery, with his last appointment for chemo coming in May. Chemo brought Sean’s blood cell count down to a low level, and he had to stay in his room, in isolation, for a year and a half. Rachel’s Kids helped Sean break his isolation by getting him a Playstation4, a TV and a nice setup in his room.

“The PS4 helped,” he said. “It gave me something to do and I could talk to my friends.”

Sean said that while he is a little nervous, he is happy to help support an organization that in turn helps so many children who are also struggling.

“Sean has been through a lot and look at him now,” said Dr. Rachel Navaneelan. “He is doing so well.”

Sean had previously told his story at one of the 100 Souls in Support of Rachel’s Kids events.

The 100 Souls initiative is a group of 100 supporters of Rachel’s Kids who meet four times a year, and at each one-hour meeting, they contribute $100. Attendees get a chance to get an update on the great work happening at Rachel’s

Kids while they mingle.

Sean’s mom, Susan Cowan said that she thought the Garden Party was a great chance for her son to tell his story.

“I think it is a great opportunity for him to be out to tell others about dealing with sickness and raising awareness,” she said.

Sean will be a new face at the Garden Party this year, which also will be held at a new venue.

For the past few years, the Garden Party has been held at the Ramada Inn in Cornwall, but this year, the event will take place at the Cornwall Golf and Country Club.

Kim Lauzon, Executive Director of Rachel’s Kids said that the change in venue was purely to try something new and fresh.

The Garden Party will have an even larger silent auction this year in addition to the live auction.

Lauzon said that the Garden Party will be ready for anything weather wise. The Garden Party usually takes place outdoors, but they can always retreat inside this year if the weather turns on them.

Last year, the Garden Party raised $161,000 for Rachel’s Kids House of Hope, and early bird tickets for this year’s event are already on sale.

Early bird tickets are $65 and are available at Dr. Navaneelan’s dentistry office on Ninth St. East in Cornwall, or at Rachel’s Kids House of Hope on Boundary Rd. in South Glengarry. Early bird tickets are available until March 31.

Premier stops for a cup in Cornwall CORNWALL, Ontario - Ontario Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne made a brief stop at the Stomping Grounds Bistro Cafe in Cornwall on Thursday, March 15, 2018.

The Premier arrived shortly after 12 p.m. and was greeted by a large crowd inside the bistro.

She spent about an hour talking to various guests at the bistro who had come to see her.

If they were hoping to hear a speech from the Premier or if they were waiting for an announcement, they were unfortunately disappointed. The Premier poured a cappuccino, took a few questions from reporters and then was back on the road.

“Let me just say it’s my pleasure to be here in Cornwall again,” Wynne said to the media.

The Premier was asked about how she would address the issue of rural education if re-elected.

“We will continue to work for a funding formula that will help rural, urban and suburban schools,” she said. “It is important for the different boards to work together. We want to make sure that particularly elementary school stu-

dents have a school close to them.”

Wynne was also questioned on her government’s decision to increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

“I’m hearing mostly it is making a huge difference for people,” she said.

Several questions focused on the party’s preparedness to compete in a Conservative riding like Stormont, Dundas and South Glengarry (SD&SG).

Wynne stated that the local riding association would soon have a candidate to compete against incumbent Jim McDonell.

One person who has declared their candidacy for the Liberal nomination was present to meet the Premier.

Heather Megill is a former school teacher and a former captain in the Canadian Armed Forces Reserves with the SD&G Highlanders and she is seeking to represent the provincial Liberals in June.

“I got perturbed when I saw what was happening provincially with the conservatives,” Megill said. “I know Jim pretty well. I respect Jim, I know he’s worked hard. I will be cordial and respectful,” said Megill of SD&SG Conservative MPP Jim McDonell. “I want to grow the Liberal brand in this riding.”

Megill has taught at schools in Cornwall and across SD&G.

Premier Kathleen Wynne passes a cappuccino to a Stomping Grounds customer during her visit to Cornwall on Thursday, March 15, 2018 as owner Phil Gilmour watches in the background.

Bookmarks raise money for a good cause Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

4 - Wednesday, March 21, 2018 - Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

CORNWALL, Ontario - Daxton Dionne, 7, is a member of the Earth Rangers and wanted to do his part to help protect environment.

Daxton used his artistic talents to create bookmarks, which he planned on selling to raise money so the Earth Rangers can help support the Gray Fox, which is a threatened species in Canada.

Daxton said that he started making bookmarks when he started reading and wanted to make more for others who like to read.

“When I was in Grade 1 I wanted to start reading and I know other people who were starting to read so I wanted to make bookmarks,” he said.

Daxton is a Grade 2 student at Rothwell-Osnabruck Public School in Ingleside.

He explained that he chose to support the Gray Fox because it was the favourite animal of his late great-aunt Jackie.

Jen Blair Manley of Royal LePage in Cornwall was getting her hair done at a hair salon in Ingleside where Daxton’s mother works and saw Daxton with his book marks.

When Manley learned a little more about the bookmarks, and what the money was going towards, she decided to do what she could to support the cause.

Manley bought 30 bookmarks then and there, with the promise to acquire more. Manley will be helping to sell the bookmarks by making them available for purchase at the front desk in their office the “Dreamteam Hub” in Cornwall at 722 Pitt St. Unit 11.

Jen Blair Manley and her dream team at Royal LePage consists of herself, her twin sister Jody Blair and Christal Bowen and they are happy to do their part to support this young man’s initiative.

“I hope this inspires other kids,” said Manley. “This is the kind of thing I like to support. I like it when it’s more personal. It’s stuff like this that inspires hope. It’s not about how much, but the fact that you did it.”

For his part, Daxton was thrilled what Manley decided to support his project.

“I was surprised,” he said. “My mom was crying, and I almost cried.”

Each bookmark is $5, and they are available at the Royal LePage office. Manley said that seven were sold within the first 10 minutes.

Daxton Dionne holds up some of the bookmarks he’s made alongside Jen Blair Manley at the Royal LePage office on Wednesday, March 14, 2018 (Nick Seebruch/ TC Media).

INGLESIDE, Ontario - The Ingleside Firefighters Association will be celebrating their 60th anniversary on July 21 with a big bash in front of the Ingleside Shopping Plaza.

This event will be taking place instead of the annual Firefighter’s Challenge.

“The organizing committee chose to plan an event honouring the creation of our community an its 60th anniversary,” said Jennifer MacIsaac, event organizer. “We heard that no other group was planning a celebration so we decided to take it upon ourselves to switch our focus in that direction. Although our Ingleside Challenge had grown to be the biggest in the area, the summer competitions in other communities had started to diminish.”

MacIsaac explained that the event was down to four firefighter’s challenges from nine in previous years.

Features of the event this year include: inflatables, pony rides, face painting, a barbeque, entertainers and a dunk tank. There will

family who no longer live in the area and we are hopeful that this year will be no different especially since it’s the 60th Anniversary for our community.”

The event is free to attend thanks to the support of local sponsors. Any business wishing to support the event is encouraged to call Paul MacIsaac at 613-537-2555.

What came tumbling down, so Sears could remain standing Sara Lauzon Wayback Playback

littlehistorian@live.ca

Earlier this month, Cornwall citizens were informed that the owner of the Cornwall Square has decided to demolish the section of the building that Sears once occupied. Replacing Sears will be a six to eight story building that will contain retail spaces, as well as multiple floors of residential units. When the Cornwall Square was being constructed in 1978, a lot of buildings and homes had to be demolished to make room for the mall. It is as if this new facelift will allow this section of Cornwall’s main drag to revert to it’s former state.

At the corner of Pitt and Water Streets (on the East side) used to be the Fiesta Room. In the 40s, a Barber Shop operated in this building by a gentleman named Emile Vachon. Attached to The Fiesta Room was the Lloyd George Hotel, owned by both Lloyd Gallinger and George Bringloe. Many people enjoyed a ten cent draft in the Wharf Lounge, and would bar hop between this location and the bar two doors

down. Directly beside the hotel was another building owned by George: Bringloe’s Furniture.

Although many buildings were demolished at the foot of Pitt Street, a large portion of Sydney Street also met the wrecking ball in preparation for the construction of the Cornwall Square.

Among several apartment buildings, side by sides and homes, St. Paul’s United Church was also lost. Although the Mall parking garage is in the Church’s former site, the steeple from St. Paul’s United Church was salvaged and moved to its current location in front of the Best Western and Parkway Inn. Down the road from St. Paul’s Church was Pearson’s Furniture Store. Many people enjoyed attending dances that used to be held there! The furniture store was located beside the Cornwall Street Railway Light and Power Company building. Across the road (at the foot of Sydney and Water Streets) was Halliwell’s Garage. Another section of Cornwall that was lost in the construction of the Square was a portion of Central/Horovitz Park, and Central Park

Avenue. A few apartments and homes lined this little avenue.

Cornwall has unfortunately lost much of it’s history in the name of progress. Many homes, hot

spots, and businesses were lost in order to build the Cornwall Square. Although these areas of Cornwall no longer exist, they are definitely not forgotten.

Sowing seeds

Spring into action for the Spring Show

Andrzej Terrence, Special to TC Media CORNWALL, Ontario - This St. Patty’s day brought local gardeners and farmers to the Benson Centre to bring more green into the world with Seedy Saturday, on Saturday, March 17, 2018.

Seedy Saturday makes it possible for those who are new to gardening and those with more experience learn and purchase hard to obtain seeds.

The event was able to come together with the help of the key organizers like Kat Rendek and Bill Carriere and support from the Trillium Foundation.

Over 1200 people came out for the fourth year in a row to browse through seeds and learn more about gardening.

“All the vendors are producing organic, nonGMO seeds right here in the Cornwall and Ottawa areas and they are getting them out to the community,” said Kat Rendek.

This year Seedy Saturday took over both levels of the Benson Centre where last year the event was half the size.

Over 35 people volunteered to help with the event and close to 40 vendors.

“People are having lots of fun and the kids are great!” explained Sophie Lepage who volunteered at the event for the first time this year.

Some stations included new technologies, fresh foods, and crafts for children.

“The turnout today has been crazy! Just awesome,” said Bill Carriere.

This year’s attendance was significantly high-

OPINION

Polarizing Premier Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

There is something to be said about the affect that both media and politicians have on public discourse.

Some politicians are so polarizing that they elicit powerful emotional reactions from the public. On top of that, there are also news media outlets who are more than willing to stoke that fire. This leads to a point where rather than talking about actual policy, public discourse descends into name calling and personal threats.

For example, I don’t think that the government of Kathleen Wynne has served Ontarians, especially rural Ontarians, very well, and I have said so previously in this column. I think that her inability to lower Hydro rates and her funding model for rural education has hurt rural Ontario.

I saw the pain and difficulty that was the Pupil Accommodation Review last year when several rural schools were faced with closure thanks to her government’s education funding model.

However, my heart’s not filled with hatred for her, I can still articulate why I think she should

be voted out of office.

Last week, Wynne visited Cornwall and when I posted my story on her visit to social media, I saw some members of the community respond with some of the ugliest comments I’ve yet to see.

It was the policy of my predecessor to delete comments that contained profanity or threats and that policy still stands, but I’m writing this column to nip that problem in the bud, so I don’t have to spend more time than I’d like moderating our comments on Facebook.

Articulating why a politician and their policies should be left out of government will cause them far more problems than name calling and physical threats, because if you can explain why their policies hurt you and your neighbours, then you might convince your neighbours not to vote for them.

Also, consider for a moment, that a politician, like Kathleen Wynne for example, doesn’t what they believe is best for all their constituents.

Do you have a real problem with Kathleen hate you personally, they don’t even think about I happen to believe however, that Wynne has not Wynne? Want to explain why? Email me a Letter you. For the most part, I believe, that most politto the Editor at nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc icians, even Kathleen Wynne are trying to do done the best job if that is indeed her goal.

Response: Tax burden

Dear Editor, In response to Carl Broughton’s “Reducing the tax burden” I agree with most of what he had to say. There is so much the city could do to reduce the tax burden on the residential taxpayer, yet the city chooses to do the same thing year after year.

Every year the city administrators bring in a proposed budget and then it is up to city council to trim that budget down to a reasonable (??) number and taxpayers are relieved about the cuts. BUT IMHO it is just a shell game to try and make the taxpayer happy. The city goes about this all wrong. If the city were serious about getting spending under control they would do a

line by line budget review, but not during budget deliberation time. If a line by line analysis were to be done I’m sure a minimum 10% saving could easily be found.

Another way to do this line by line budget review would be to have each department manger do it and be told find a minimum 10% saving or city council will find it for you.

I agree with Carl Broughton on the $85k to refurbish the locomotive engine. Surely the city could find a corporate sponsor for this. The sponsor could have a nice plaque located near the locomotive after it has been refurbished and relocated. I, however, disagree with him on the water bill. Water here is cheap, compared to

other cities and towns. Before moving to Cornwall 7½ years ago we lived in a town off the 417 that had water meters. Even 7½ years ago we were paying more than $1200 / year for water and sewer services. I can just imagine what they charge for water and sewer services now.

In regard to his comment about the city operating a Long Term Care Facility (Glen Stor Dun Lodge) well it is something the city cannot get out of. Cornwall operates GSDL in cooperation with the counties, though the counties do not cover their allocated portion in correct proportion with the city. By law in Ontario every municipality is required to operate a long term

care facility. Long-term care is part of the province’s health care system and publicly funded on a cost-shared basis with residents. The provincial government does not pay the full cost of long-term care and expects residents to pay a portion of their “room and board” to the longterm care home. Now I’ll touch on Big Ben. Yes, it is sad that the city will no longer pay the operator to keep the facility running and it may close. But in most other cities and towns the operator pays the city or town to operate the facility, not how it is done here where the city pays the operator to run the facility.

ready to throw in the towel on an unpopular premier and were thinking of parking their votes with a Christine Elliott-led Tories.

Instead, they might feel more comfortable with the NDP. After all, the Liberals are stealing most of their ideas.

As his brother-in-law and former teammate Larry Gabri noted, Harold Murphy didn’t say much in the dressing room. In fact, he never said anything. Instead, the goalie who backstopped the Royals to two consecutive Central Junior Hockey League championships and posted a league record low season goals against average (2.54) in 1966-67, let his catlike quick reflexes do all the talking. Murphy, the quiet, shy soft-speaking puck blocker, passed away earlier this month after battling health problems. He was 71. His brother Jack, who was inducted into the Cornwall Sports Hall of Fame along with Harold in 2012, died just two months earlier. Not only was Harold one of the most outstanding Royals goaltenders, he was one of the most popular. He was the quintessential hometown hero. One of his finest games was the 1966-67 Eastern Canada Memorial Cup quarter-final seventh-game victory in Sault Ste. Marie against the Northern Ontario champion Greyhounds. He stopped 48 shots in a 2-1 victory. Rick Plamondon’s game-winner came with three minutes left.

The Greyhounds averaged 42 shots in each of the seven games. After his outstanding CJHL career, he signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

He was assigned to the Central Professional Hockey League Tulsa Oilers before being loaned to Toledo Blades of the International

Hockey League. This was the six-team NHL, when cracking any lineup was difficult but even more so for goaltenders. Most teams had a regular goaltender with a back-up used more for practices. It wasn’t unusual for the team’s No. 1 goalie to play in all but a handful of regular season games.

HERE AND THERE: Blue chip minor hockey prospect Joshua Barnes, a minor midget brought up by the Colts for the Hawkesbury playoff round, is grandson of former Royals’ captain Ray Barnes.

TRIVIA ANSWER: The blizzard that closed down Highway 401 for two days and brought the city and district to a standstill hit on March 4, 1971. The storm dumped 52 centimetres of snow on Cornwall and the United Counties in a 29-hour period. It was the worst recorded snow storm to hit the area. An estimated 500 transports were stranded on Highway 401.

Essential workers - nurses and police officers were taken to work on snowmobiles.

TRIVIA: In 1930 the Cornwall Kiwanis Club received approval from town council for this project. The project was 1) Construction of a pavilion at St. Lawrence Park, 2) Ice-making equipment for Victoria Arena, 3) Construction of a swimming pool at Central Park, 4) Cornwall Canal canoe races on Dominion Day, 5) A new fire truck.

THIS WEEK IN 1934: The Kinsmen Club was collecting used shoes, boots and rubbers for children of needy families in the city.

Welfare reported that there were “pitiful” cases of children having no winter footwear. ... New car barns were being erected at Water and

Amelia streets on the “Gas House” property by Stormont Electric Light and Power and Cornwall Street Railway ... The Salvation Army was celebrating its 46th year in Cornwall. The first citadel at Central Park was destroyed by fire in 1904, eight years after it was established.

The new citadel was built on First Street West. ... John Russell who sued Canada Cottons Ltd. after he was injured while searching for discarded tin cans in a warehouse was awarded $425. He suffered a broken jaw and other injuries when he fell into an elevator pit. ... Police Chief Fred Seymour announced a reward for information leading to the arrest of the person or persons responsible for poisoning six dogs in a two-week period. ... A McConnell Avenue man who was given six-months for bootlegging alcohol from his home had his conviction overturned by County Judge Francis T. Costello. The man, who had served 11 days in jail, was represented by a young lawyer named Lionel Chevrier. ... Third time was unlucky for an East Cornwall man after he was arrested while in possession of a bottle of liquor. It was his third offence. He was given three months in jail. ... A house at 29 1/2 Marlborough St. S. was destroyed by fire caused by overheated pipes. ... Bark’s Market, 111 Pitt St., had hamburg for 10 cents a pound. ... There was Saturday night dancing at Princess Hall. Admission 25 cents. ...

Hessell’s Market, 12 First St. E., had round steak for 15 cents a pound. ... Joe Benedict, Buffalo Thomas and Jimmy Cree scored as St. Regis defeated Massena 3-1 in a hockey contest.

ONE FINAL THING When all else fails, take a nap.

Nobody expected a civic holiday to be declared for Premier Kathleen Wynne’s pit stop in Cornwall last week to rally the troops, at least those still on the bandwagon.

However, her pre-election stopover attracted a turnout best described as a small but enthusiast crowd of supporters ... about what a noon-hour fender bender would garner.

There was a time when a premiere attracted more than the proverbial corporal’s guard. But Wynne’s approval numbers are scratching bottom, a point or two behind NDP leader Andrea Horwath, and many points on the south side of freshly minted Conservative leader Doug Ford.

The preem, as expected, talked about returning Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry to the Liberal fold. The Libs lost the seat when its all-star candidate Jim Brownell called it quits 2011.

Enter Jim McDonell and two landslide victories. He finished 11,400 votes in front of his Liberal challenger in 2014. For the Liberals, that is a lot of votes to reel back into the fold.

But the real battle for the local Liberals might be for second place. The NDP finished just 874 votes behind the Liberals in 2014.

Doug Ford might scare off some Liberals

L’École secondaire catholique Le Relais inspire Communiqué de presse de la CSDCEO ALEXANDRIA, Ontario - C’est dans un esprit de collaboration et de réseautage qu’a eu lieu le premier colloque Inspiration volet secondaire du Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien (CSDCEO) le 1er mars dernier à l’École secondaire catholique Le Relais d’Alexandria.

L’équipe de l’École secondaire catholique Le Relais a ouvert ses portes à près de 100 participants et participantes provenant du personnel enseignant et directions du CSDCEO, de même que certains partenaires. Les thématiques abordent autant la pédagogie numérique par le biais de la technologie et de la robotique, que la pensée créative et critique, en plus d’un panel d’élèves qui ont partagé leur expérience.

S’inspirant d’un modèle du NouveauBrunswick et d’une pratique à Toronto, cette journée de perfectionnement se veut un moment de ressourcement dans un esprit d’échanges. Cette pratique permet aussi aux participants et aux participantes d’approfondir leurs réflexions professionnelles en matière de pédagogie participative en observant les élèves en action dans un milieu d’apprentissage inspirant. « Merci à l’équipe de l’École secondaire

On target for nationals Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - Fourteen-year-old Donovan Pilon will be representing Cornwall on a national stage when he competes in the national darts competition.

The competition is taking place in Drummondville, QC, from May 16-21.

Pilon has already come out on top in a provincial competition in St. Catherines.

Pilon says that his parents are dart players and he has been around darts his entire life, but has only been competing the past two years.

He says that he already has a plan for how he will tackle the challenge of national competition.

“I just want to go there and get into a zone where nothing can phase me,” he said. “I’m going to be quiet and shoot darts.”

Cornwall’s Dart’s Youth League will be raising money in the coming month to sponsor Pilon to go to Nationals. They raised money previously to send 10 players to Provincials.

The local youth dart’s club meets at the Moose Lodge on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Hometown Hockey hits Cornwall Andrzej Terrence, Special to TC Media CORNWALL, Ontario - Rogers Hometown Hockey celebrated all things hockey this St. Patrick’s Day weekend at the Civic Complex with activities and events for the whole family.

The 24 stop tour made its way across Canada bringing live entertainment, NHL Players, prizes, and the one and only Hockey Circus show.

The event culminates into a live pregame show with Ron Maclean and Tara Slone on Sunday evening.

As the tour gets around the country they invite NHL Alumni players and for Cornwall, Chris Neil and Shayne Corson came out to sign autographs.

“The love of the game and the communal spirit everywhere you go in Canada; you can’t beat it,” said Kyle Buttenham who was the Master of ceremonies.

A few thousand people came out to join in the festivities over the weekend with one of the largest crowds gathering for Paz and his Hockey Circus.

“When he was throwing the flaming hockey sticks up in the air, that was the coolest part,” explained Max, who is 12 and was attending the Hometown Hockey festivities.

Paz hosted the show with puck juggling and hockey jokes that would make any fan laugh hysterically.

“My favourite part about Hometown Hockey is definitely the community and seeing what makes up the fabric of how hockey intwines with everyday life is great,” said Paz after juggling three flaming Hockey sticks.

The next stops to finish up the tour will be on the two following weekends in Bathurst New Brunswick, and Montreal Quebec.

The live broadcast will on Sunday nights during the game between Winnipeg and Dallas.

The Holy Trinity Catholic School girl’s rugby players will be going to Dublin, Ireland for an experience of a lifetime. The Falcons will be departing April 16, 2018 and returning on April 24, 2018 to play rugby matches, meet professional rugby players and learn more about the remarkable island.

“Ireland will be an adventure for the team, one that will last a lifetime.” said by Mike Smith, coach for the Holy Trinity Catholic School girl’s rugby team.

The girl’s have put a lot of time and effort into this trip and are more than happy to announce that the team is going together to represent their school and province. Not only have they put time into the practice`s, but also into fundraisers. The girl`s rugby team hosted many events to make this trip possible including, selling Dunkin’ Donuts, selling chocolate bars, cleaning and fixing lawns, car washes, and

silent auctions. During these events, the school raised $80,000 towards the trip to Ireland.

Smith and the team both believe that this trip will make the team closer and also help every individual on their rugby skills. Their numbers have already grown due to the attraction of the Ireland trip. He also explained that their passing skills have already improved drastically from the practices and they also seem to be more motivated to do well this year.

“The team is more motivated, this year to do better and their passing skills have improved greatly.” said Smith.

The rugby girl’s have been practicing since last year’s season for this trip and are hoping all the hard work will pay off. The girl’s have seen a big improvement in their rugby skills as well as their bonding as a team, Mr. Smith and the Falcons are confident for this season as Smith noted “I am confident the team will do well this year.”

CORNWALL, Ontario – In advance of the festivities of the Hometown Hockey weekend, NHL alumni were in Cornwall to faceoff against a hockey team made up of members of the local law enforcement.

The game took place at 2 p.m. on Friday, March 16 at the Cornwall Civic Complex.

The NHL alumni team included players like Jesse Winchester and Mark Laforest, and longtime NHL commentator Ron MacLean also took to the ice.

The police were lead by Jason Kilger who took part in the ceremonial puck drop opposite from MacLean.

The police kept the game close throughout the three periods, but ultimately, the NHL team squeaked out a win 7-6.

MAXVILLE, Ontario - The Glengarry Highland Games are on-track for another great year.

As always, the Games will be the first weekend of August, which this year is the 3 & 4.

“We are definitely moving forward to have a great 71st edition of the Highland Games,” said Glengarry Highland Games President Lindsay MacCulloch.

Favourite events like the Pipe Band competition will be back and bigger than ever, according to MacCulloch. MacCulloch explained that since the Pipe Band will not fall on the same weekend as the international competition in Scotland, that more bands should be in attendance this year.

The Games have also changed the location of the Kilt Run this year to grow the event and make it the biggest kilt run yet. Registration for the Kilt Run opens in early April.

The Games will also be holding kickoff events in the days before the official opening this year.

Kickoff events include a golf tournament on Aug. 1 and a Tartan Ball on Aug. 2. The Tartan Ball will be taking place at the Metcalfe Centre with tickets going on sale in May. Patron Packages for the Glengarry Highland Games are now available on their website and sales for camping sites with electrical outlets will be available April 3.

Earlier in March, the Kingston Police released information about a Maxville woman who had stolen $600,000 from her employer to payback money she had taken from local non-profits.

There was a concern that one of the non-profits affected was the Glengarry Highland Games, while MacCulloch did not confirm if the Games were one of the local non-profits affected, MacCulloch did state that the Games could not comment on an ongoing investigation.

The Kingston Police did not release the name of the accused in this matter.

AKWESASNE - Troy Thompson will be running in the 2018 Scotiabank Ottawa Marathon with the goal of raising money to combat Child Obesity in his community. The marathon will be taking place on May 27 and the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne (MCA) District Chief will be running 42.2km in support of Iakwa’shatste Youth Fitness, a community youth fitness program. Thompson explained that so far, around 700 kids in Akwesasne, and surrounding areas, have benefitted from the program. 100% of funds raised will go to them.

“It is a wonderful not for profit providing expert training, nutrition and leadership skills for youth,” said Thompson.

Thompson says that he hopes to raise $10,000 for the program to get more kids involved.

“I’m really concerned about the health of our children,” he said.

Thompson explained that in the future, he also wants to setup a charity of his own to fund the construction of trails, parks, playgrounds and recreational spaces in all of Akwesasne. This infrastructure would help kids stay active all year around in the community. “This infrastructure is much needed throughout our entire community.

It gets kids away from their video games and playing back outside, connecting with their families. It provides them options to stay active.”

Thompson says that he has always been an active runner, and credits running with helping

New RCMP commissioner is a good choice Sultan Jessa

It is about time and it is the right decision.

The Mounties have finally got their woman.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Canada’s top police force, finally has a woman at the helm.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has appointed Brenda Lucki at the new commissioner.

She will officially take over her new duties

April 16.

A proven leader with tons of experience and expertise, Lucki will play an important role in advancing reconciliation with the Indigenous People, promoting gender equality, which has plagued the well-respected national organization.

Lucki is lucky and privileged to have a long and distinguished career with the RCMP for nearly 32 years.

The new commissioner has served in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Lucki has also served with the United Nations in former Yugoslavia and also with the

United Nations Civilian Police mission in troubled Haiti.

I have no doubts the first woman to ever be the permanently appointed to leader the RCMP will leave no stone unturned in her efforts to modernize the law enforcement organization that is well recognized and well respected around the globe.

In recent years, there have been too many complaints against the RCMP about sexism, workplace bullying and discrimination against Indigenous Peoples.

“I will not have all the answers, but I definitely plan on asking all the right questions.” “And maybe some difficult ones, “she said.

news Lucki has the proven leadership skills and qualities needed to modernize the RCMP. She will next month become the Canada’s 24th Commissioner of the RCMP. Lucki has lots of experience working with the Indigenous Peoples, including her induction into the Order of Merit of the Police Forces for her efforts to improve relations with First Nations in northern Manitoba.

Trudeau’s new appointment has been warmly welcomed across Canada.

Canada is depending on you.

We know you will do a great job and make everyone proud.

GREASE REMOVAL Sharon Fortier

owner/operator Shar’s Private Cleaning Services

Shar’s Tip of the Week Scrubbing wont do much to remove grease - you have to dissolve it. Grease is an acid, so you need a strong alkaline cleaner, such as ammonia, to dissolve it. Ordinary hand dish washing detergent is fully up to the job. It’s designed to deal with greasy dishes. When using dish soap, be sure to give it time to do it’s dissolving. Squeeze an amount to cover the greasy area and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Wipe it or if its fabric material, put in the washing machine. This should work on most or all greasy spills.

Dear family, friends, and community members. You’re support over these past few weeks has been incredible. The amount of outreach and fundraising support for Chris gave him a tremendous amount of strength and helped him have the courage he needed to fight till the end. We cannot thank you enough. We would like to thank especially those of you that surrounded Chris and his family during his last days and after his passing. The support from each of you meant more than you know. The funds raised helped pay for some of his medical expenses and the funeral costs. Any remaining funds will be placed in an education fund for Chris’s son Angus. Our family and this community has lost one of its brightest stars.

We love him deeply, will miss him terribly but will ensure his memory stays alive and well with us everyday.

Love, the family of Christopher Thompson 7475424

John lives his life by statistics and is afraid to fly. One day his friend, Bill, asks him, “Why do you have this irrational fear of flying?”

“Irrational?” John replies, “Not at all. I’ve merely calculated the odds of a bomb being placed on a plane and it’s much too high for my comfort.”

A few days later, Bill boarded a flight only to find John sitting in the seat right next to him.

“What happened? Have the odds changed?”

“No,” John replied. “The odds of a bomb being on a plane haven’t changed. But I calculated the odds of two bombs being on a plane, and I found those odds much more acceptable. So now I just bring my own.”

Guns - Weapons of Mass Destruction John Milnes Consider This

Throughout North America, most particularly in the nation to the south of us, death lurks around every corner. The deaths are, no doubt, correctly attributed to the misuse of guns by mentally unbalanced persons and we are constantly reminded that guns do not kill.

This, of course, is the nonsense perpetuated by the gun lobby that controls U.S. politics.

Surely no-one is suggesting that guns jump out of their cabinets and start slaughtering groups of people, including very young children.

IIf there were no guns no-one would die from gunshot wounds!

The massive volume of deaths in the USA, due to wrongful use of guns, is, at best, shameful. Truly guns are simply tools in the hands of those who wield them; only when nations determine to deny such weapons of mass destruction will the deaths stop.

Sadly, across the border to the south, it is too late to affect change for the gun lobby has the nation by the throat via the very faulty Second Amendment. Unfortunately, Mr. Harper, here in Canada, also came under the same ‘gun-lobby’ and destroyed our ability to

control the weapons that the majority of Canadians use for hunting purposes.

Thoughtlessly, this has now spread to automatic weapons becoming freely available and we are ever closer to replicating the USA model of lost control.

As a past hunter I must stand with those who are genuinely desirous of continuing to have the right to hunt. This is a natural byproduct of our hunter/gatherer background and must not be denied but, really, automatic weapons! If as a hunter, like most good hunters, I could not affect a kill with one shot I needed to quit, as I eventually did.

In a Utopian world there would be no guns. We do not live in Utopia but there is, however, a second best that should be seriously considered; that guns will only be allowed under close government control. In a reasonable society registration of ALL firearms should be mandatory. There is nothing wrong in knowing where the guns are, whether they are to be used for hunting or target shooting, both legitimate hobbies.

We license and regulate the use of motor vehicles and it follows gun ownership should have an identical regulatory pattern. Gun owners, from my experience, would expect to see the non-gun owners treated with respect and consideration. Regulation of guns, like motor vehicles, would greatly reduce the potential for the misuse of these weapons of

mass destruction.

Deep thought should be given to this topic; it is not just something that any single person might desire. Rather this is more a matter of collective thoughtfulness. Others, who choose not to own a gun, deserve to be considered, too.

There is a chance the more balanced thinking of Canadians will endure and we will, ultimately, see a rational outcome to gun ownership in our nation.

Footnote: There is now some hope for the USA !

The youth of the USA led by survivors and friends of those killed in the February, 2018, shooting at a Florida school are beginning to gain a foothold in the debate and subsequent discussions on gun ownership.
