According to Jette, the entire family is overwhelmed with the support they’ve received, and they hope to rebuild in the same spot where they were located at 711 Montreal Rd. “We have great support around us…I have just been totally overwhelmed by the support and the kind words from the community, I can’t even, I can’t believe it,” said Jette emotionally. “It’s been unbelievable. It keeps me going, to rebuild.

logistics. But Jette has already started the process of organizing, which he admits has been difficult.

“What’s next is that we are looking at temporary locations,” he said. “We are looking at definitely something temporarily for administration purposes. But our plan is to rebuild at this time.”

Luckily, all records, inventory and accounts have been backed up and saved. Everything from deliveries to cancellations is uncertain at this point, and customers will have to be patient.

“I do know that no one will lose their furniture or their money, that’s for sure. It’s just unfortunately it might take a bit of time,” said Jette.

Jette’s fondest memories of the store include time spent with his customers and employees.

“I mean, we go in everyday, we laugh everyday.

We laugh with the customers. It’s really a family atmosphere…and that’s one of the reasons we want to come back for sure,” he said.

Jette would like to thank everyone for their support and the firefighters who worked quickly to save the block.

Cornwall, one of Canada’s top retirement destinations PHARMACY

CORRECTION

PHARMACIE

Cornwall Seaway News staff CORNWALL, Ontario – A leading Canadian finance publication has listed Cornwall among the top 10 places to retire in this country.

MoneySense, in an online report released July 31, listed the Seaway City in the number seven spot among other cities like Belleville, Oakville and Newmarket.

Ottawa took the top spot, followed by Toronto. The report cited property tax rates, property costs, weather and availability of doctors among its criteria for consideration.

“Cornwall offers a great combination of modern urban living with small town friendliness and quality of life,” said Bob Peters, economic development manager for the City of Cornwall. “It is very difficult to compare one community against another, however we believe that Cornwall is a great choice when people are considering a new place to live, be it to retire, raise a family or start a career.”

Of the top 10 cities, Cornwall is ranked in a three-way tie for first place among doctors per 100,000 people with 142. The 2.4 per cent tax rate also compares nicely with other cities in the top 10.

“Our ranking of the best places to retire is… adjusted to reflect the needs and interests of retirees,” said Claire Brownell in her online report.

Cornwall has long marketed itself as a destination for retirees from outside municipal borders who could be looking to sell expensive properties in urban centres like Toronto and consider a smaller home or even a waterfront

The average price of a bungalow in Cornwall sits at around $185,000 , and a condo is closer to $200,000 according to figures provided on the choosecornwall.ca website. A property in Toronto averages at more than $717,000.

MoneySense has taken it on the chin in the past when it comes to Cornwall’s reaction to its ranking mechanisms. Cornwall ranked 289th out of 417 communities in MoneySense’s 2017 tabulations on the best places to live.

There was information missing at the end of our story last week about Bernadette Clement running for Mayor.

The end of the article should have read as follows: In her announcement Clement said that some have questioned how much time she will be able to dedicate to the job, she is also the Executive Director of Legal Aid Cornwall.

“I will be a full-time Mayor,” she said.

Clement explained that there had been discussions in her office on a succession plan and a sharing of duties so that she could give her full focus to the job of Mayor if elected.

“If I’m elected, I’m going to be the Mayor for everyone in Cornwall, male, female, black, white, senior, youth and whether you voted for me or not,” she said. “I want to show young women that running for office is just something that women do.”

Cornwall Ribfest 2018

Kenny Leaf identified as murder victim

Shawna O’Neill

shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall Ribfest, the city’s biggest four-day barbeque festival, attracted attendees from across the region from Thursday, July 26 to Sunday, July 29.

“It is the biggest event of the summer for Cornwall,” said Julia Lucio, Media Coordinator for Cornwall Ribfest.

“I think we would have expectations of somewhere between 50,000 to 80,000 (attendees),” said Terry Muir, Co-Chair of Cornwall Ribfest.

This year, Cornwall Ribfest featured a plethora of food vendors, including award winning ribs.

“Of course we have the ribs, and there’s a ton of other food vendors as well,” said Julia. “There’s corn, there’s beavertails, there’s hamburgers and hotdogs for those who don’t like ribs. There’s blooming onions, which are totally to die for.

Anyways, all sorts of goodies; there’s a little bit of something for everyone.”

Families could enjoy an assortment of games, inflatable structures and a midway, which cost riders $30 a day for unlimited rides. Free, live entertainment included local artists and headliners like Carl Dixon of The Guess Who. There was also a beer garden that featured an assortment of brand name beverages.

Event organizers believe that funds raised will surpass last year’s earnings of $70,000. All of the money will be donated to youth services in the

“The reason we do this is the Optimist Club of Cornwall, we raise money for the youth of Cornwall,” said John Lucio, Co-Chair of Cornwall Ribfest. “This club is 100 per cent volunteer and 100 per cent charity, so all of that money goes back into the community to help the youths of this organization.”

The Optimist Club of Cornwall runs a softball league and hockey league, supports the Christmas toy drive and parade, and hosts num-

erous other events in the community.

Event organizers would like to thank all of the Cornwall Ribfest sponsors, team members and volunteers for making the event a success.

“This is a team effort, and every member of this team is phenomenal,” said John.

A group of vegetarian and vegan protestors appeared at Ribfest on Saturday, July 28. But there presence didn’t bother event organizers.

AKWESASNE - The Akwesasne Mohawk Police Service (AMPS) and the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) have confirmed that through their joint investigation, they have found the remains of Kenneth Leaf.

City spares tree after girl’s plea Shawna O’Neill shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – A 70-year-old tree on Charles St. will spared from destruction following the plight of nine-year-old Aradia Paquette.

Paquette encouraged the City of Cornwall to preserve the tree in a Facebook video. On Wednesday, July 25, the video had been seen almost 20,000 times. “I went to my grandpa’s a few weeks ago and I saw there was a big ‘X’ on the tree,” said Paquette in the video. “My grandpa said you (the City) were going to cut it down to put in a sidewalk. Please don’t cut down that tree.”

“I don’t understand why you need to cut down a tree for a sidewalk. Why can’t you go around the tree? There is lots of room for both,” said Paquette.

Councillor David Murphy, who saw the Facebook video, requested a transcript of Paquette’s speech and presented it to City administration, who agreed to work around the 70-year-old tree.

“Cornwall administration is at our best when we can work with residents,” said Murphy, who thought that Paquette’s speech was moving.

“This is one of those cases where we can work with a resident and the project still proceeds.”

Bernie Driscoll, Paquette’s grandfather, claims

that not all the community members were informed about the sidewalk project, and several trees have been marked with an ‘X’.

Driscoll started a petition in the spring to protest the sidewalk on Charles St., but the petition was never presented to City Council. According to Driscoll, Councillor André Rivette issued him an apology. Councillor David Murphy confirmed this information.

Driscoll claims that within the past five years a sidewalk project on a nearby street was petitioned against, and consequently, discontinued.

géocache dissimulée à cet endroit. « Vous n’avez pas besoin d’être un ardent géocacheur pour y participer » explique John Mesman de la CNS, chef d’équipe, Communications. « Ce nouveau livret s’adresse à tous et permet de découvrir et d’explorer des joyaux forestiers disséminés sur 13 000 acres du territoire. » Après avoir trouvé au moins 15 des 20 géocaches du géo-passeport de la tournée de géocachette sur le territoire, les géocacheurs sont récompensés en recevant une géopièce.

Samedi, dix pièces ont été distribuées à d’avides géocacheurs qui avaient déjà complété le nouveau géo-passeport avant d’arriver à l’événement. D’autres participants ont apprécié les rafraîchissements, les démonstrations de géocachette, les arbres gratuits et ont eu droit à un aperçu de la nouvelle forêt Oschmann et des plans futurs pour ce site. « La géocachette est une façon interactive et amusante de découvrir les terres de la Conservation de la Nation Sud et de se renseigner sur nos programmes et services » a ajouté M. Mesman. « Le nouveau guide aide à démontrer l’importance des forêts et des arbres, et ce qu’ils font pour contribuer à un bassin versant sain. » Le dévoilement du géo-passeport a été suivi d’une annonce indiquant que la forêt Oschmann de 18 acres, récemment offerte à la CNS, deviendra le nouveau site de son

Programme annuel d’éducation sur l’érable. Ce programme d’éducation sans but lucratif accueille plus de 1 000 élèves par an, leur offrant ainsi une expérience pratique d’apprentissage environnemental dans une érablière locale.

La CNS a suspendu le programme en 2018 afin de mener un examen et choisir un nouvel emplacement; elle a décidé d’utiliser la forêt Oschmann qui constitue un riche héritage naturel; on y trouve déjà une cabane à sucre et des sentiers naturels, et elle présente des possibilités de partenariat municipal. On prévoit accueillir des étudiants dans ce nouveau site au printemps 2019. Des fonds sont actuellement recueillis pour rendre la forêt prête à la démonstration de production du sirop d’érable. La CNS prévoit créer des sentiers accessibles, construire une infrastructure propre à la démonstration et mettre à jour l’équipement de l’érablière. Une fois les travaux terminés, la forêt sera également ouverte et accessible aux familles, aux visiteurs et aux géocacheurs. « Nous devons remercier George Oschmann d’avoir fait don de cette forêt » a déclaré Bill Smirle, vice-président de la CNS. « Elle servira à la fois de centre éducatif pour les étudiants de la région et à contrer la perte de couvert forestier dans l’Est de l’Ontario. » POUR DE PLUS AMPLES RENSEIGNEMENTS : Taylor Campbell, spécialiste des communications, 1-877-984-2949, poste 296, tcampbell@ nation.on.ca

Running and the history of the Highland Games

Alex Gaffney, 12, and Fiona Tolley, 16, of Aspects of Dance get ready to compete in the Highland Dancing competition at the Glengarry Highland Games on Saturday, August 5, 2017 (Nick Seebruch/ TC Media).

MAXVILLE, Ontario - The Scottish Highland Games have a long history reaching back into the Middle Ages. It is often reported in other media that the first Highland Games was organized by King Malcolm III of Alba (Scotland).

Malcolm, who ruled from 1058 to 1093 is said to have organized a footrace to find the fastest royal messenger in the land, and while it was the Victorians who really developed the modern Highland Games there are still races, just like the one organized by King Malcolm.

The Glengarry Highland Games is holding its own race, the annual Kilt Run on Saturday, Aug. 4 at 9:30 a.m.

Glengarry Highland Games

Have a fling of a time Provided by The Glengarry Highland Games All over Glengarry the spare rooms are being aired, the welcome mats are out and everyone is getting ready to welcome friends and family home for another edition of the Glengarry Highland Games on August 3 & 4 in Maxville, Ontario. Christmas might be missed, Thanksgiving can be given a pass but thousands each year make sure they are home for the Games this weekend. Competitors from across Canada and the United States are already on their way with Maxville their destination and a winning medal their goal.

Early Friday morning, the Games competitions begin, the crowds start gathering and the most exciting festival of the summer starts to roll. Friday offers a wide range of things to do.

Along with heavyweight, dancing and piping competitions, people attending will enjoy the performances of the 78th Fraser Highlanders with their 18th century musket re-enactment.

Hold your ears and get ready to be thrilled. For old car enthusiasts, a British Car Display takes over the east mound of the infield. Enjoy

viewing the polished pride of the owners of MGBs, Triumphs and other British vintage autos.

There are still a few choice grandstand seats for the Friday Night Tattoo and Concert available at the grandstand booth at the rear of Section B. What a show that will be with the RCMP Pipes Drums and Dancers along with Hamilton’s rousing Steel City Rovers. Glengarry’s own MacLeod Fiddlers will also be showcased in celebration of their 25 years as a school of fiddling. Weather permitting, precision skydivers will arrive with the flags of Scotland, Canada and the United States timed to land in the infield at the conclusion of each anthem.

Remember that gate admission of $25 gives access all day to everything except the grandstand seats which are a real bargain at $6 on Friday (and $12 on Saturday). Otherwise, bring your lawn chair and have a front row seat for a world class show.

Saturday just keeps the entertainment going. The professional heavyweights, the world champion dancers and the North American Pipe Band Championships™ will be underway. The Highland Regiments Tug of War with 10 teams from across Canada will compete

in the infield with the finals right before the massed bands. Be sure to be there at noon hour when this year’s Guest of Honour Captain Bob Pearson of Canada’s famed Gimli Glider officially opens the Games.

The Metcalfe Centre and the Tent will be packed with dancers and fans all afternoon and evening. There is no need to travel anywhere when the best in celtic music is right here at the Games. The Kilt Run this year starts and ends in the Tent in the morning and gets the party really rolling. Over thirty clans will be ready in the Clan Building to search out names or histories as well as entertain with Scottish music and interesting displays. Clan members are welcome to join the Clan parade around the infield at noon hour and celebrate their Scottish heritage.

Don’t forget the Wee Bairns area both days for the younger set along with the Junior Heavyweights and Track and Field on Saturday.

Did we mention the Harp Workshop on Friday and the Whisky workshop on Saturday? For those who need to get in their fill of shopping wherever they go, the Games offers a fine assortment of vendors selling everything tartan as well as fine celtic jewelry, clothing and of course, haggis and mushy peas.

Make sure that the Massed Bands closing on Saturday evening is on the list of things to do.

Anyone who has experienced the massed bands puts it down as one of their most memorable and unforgettable experiences. When the

lone pipe band plays Amazing Grace and is joined by 1500 pipers and drummers, it will take your breath away.

The grounds are fully accessible. There are air-conditioned indoor spaces as well as many shady sites around the grounds for viewing and relaxing. ATMs are on site and washrooms are conveniently located.

For those who can’t make it to the Games, Friday morning from 6 to 10 am CTV Ottawa’s Morning Live Show will be onsite with Sarah Freemark showcasing some of the events at the Games. Many fans will listen in when Rob Snow from CFRA broadcasts live on Friday from 10 to 2. Corus Cornwall will be broadcasting live from the Games on Friday as well on Fresh 104.5.

The Games’ Facebook and Twitter pages will be posting throughout the Games and are an excellent way to check on records being set and some of the fun things happening.

Remember as every year, there will be a strong OPP presence on the Games site and along the area’s highways and byways. Make sure there is a designated driver for your group.

Star Taxis from Alexandria are usually in the Arena area to provide a way home for those who need it. Drive safe, stay safe and enjoy the GamesSee you at the Games! Friday, August 3 and Saturday, August 4. Ceud Mìle Fàilte! A hundred thousand welcomes! www.glengarryhighlandgames.com

Glengarry Highland Games

(Nick Seebruch/ TC Media).

Festival, fair and fun all rolled into one Provided by the Glengarry Highland Games Join the thousands who make the annual trek to Maxville Ontario for the Glengarry Highland Games. This year on Friday, August 3 and Saturday, August 4, be part of one of the best outdoor summer festivals in Eastern Ontario.

Come and celebrate your celtic heritage or join in the fun and become Scottish for a day. With a lineup of the best celtic entertainment anywhere, you can dance the day away or keep your toes tapping on the sidelines. Hamilton’s Steel City Rovers are the headliners backed with Glengarry’s Brigadoons, Stewart’s Glen, Brandy and Port and more. The Friday Night Tattoo showcases the RCMP Pipes & Drums and Dancers as they celebrate 20 years of the RCMP Tartan. Glengarry’s own MacLeod Fiddlers share the stage as well for their 25 anniversary. Pipes, drums, sound and light and fantastic fireworks make for a magical outdoor summer’s festival.

For pure watching enjoyment, there are over 200 hundred graceful highland dancers competing while on the infield a full slate of heavyweight athletes both men and women throw the hammer and toss the caber. Don’t miss Matthew Doherty from Antigonish, a four times Canadian record holder in the Men’s Professionals, and Sultana Frizell, a two times Commonwealth record holder in the Women’s hammer and a Canadian record

holder as well.

This year a true Canadian Hero, Captain Bob Pearson of the famed Gimli Glider landing, is the official Guest of Honour and welcomes everyone to the Games on Saturday at noon.

If the pipes are calling you to the Games, then you will be awed and amazed at the 53 pipe bands playing together in Saturday’s massed pipe bands – a sight and sound you will never forget.

Competitions go on over the full two days and this wrap up is the highlight for most people.

To add to the fun, there’s a Kilt Run, Whisky Tasting, a Harp Workshop and a Highland Regiment Tug of War with 10 teams from across Canada. If you want to search out your Scottish heritage make your way to the Clan Building where over 30 clans are on display and Scottish performances take place.

The wee ones aren’t forgotten at the Games either. The Junior Heavyweights offer scaled down versions of the big guys’ events. The Track and Field races will eat up lots of energy and the Wee Bairns area offers Scottish things for kids to do.

Just a short hour east of Ottawa on the 417 or west from Montreal. The US border crossing at Cornwall is just 30 minutes away. Full details, registrations and tickets at glengarryhighlandgames. com. See you at the Games!!!

OPINION

Cornwall Fire Services do amazing work Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

At 6:17 p.m. on Thursday, July 26, Cornwall City Councillor Mark MacDonald tweeted: “The FF’s will only support candidates that support them (selfish not altruistic) guaranteed. #factnotopinion #cwlpoli” By “FF’s” MacDonald was referring to firefighters. Twenty minutes after that tweet, nearly 30 firefighters would be on their way to a blaze that Platoon Chief Luc Richer would call “the worst I’ve seen in 30 years.”

For awhile now, Councillor MacDonald has made clear his desire to see the size of our fire department reduced. On July 17 he tweeted: “Implementing the FMP “page 10 - 3.4” will save us the need to hire more FF’s, and they’re may even be layoffs. #factnotopinion #cwlpoli”

By FMP Councillor MacDonald is referring to the Fire Master Plan. Page 10 section 3.4 of the Fire Master Plan does not say anything about minimum numbers of firefighters nor does it give guidelines to reduce the number of firefighters a municipality already has.

The National Fire Protection Association

(NFPA) does have guidelines when it comes to the number of firefighters needed to adequately handle a fire at different kinds of structures. For a fire at a residential building, much like the ones that were destroyed in Thursday’s fire, the NFPA recommends having 27 firefighters on scene at a minimum. How many firefighters from Cornwall’s Fire Service responded to Thursday night’s blaze? Twentyseven, with an additional 10 initial fire personnel, two fire prevention officers, a mechanic, and a Fire Chief.

Other news outlets reported that in private, MacDonald has argued reducing the size of a shift from 14 firefighters to four.

What Thursday night’s fire showed me was that we have the right number of firefighters and the right people on the job. No one died in Thursday night’s fire. The Cornwall Fire Service was on the scene in four minutes.

I arrived at the fire about 10-to-15 minutes after it started and five minutes after that the first building collapsed. What started as a fire in one building quickly spread to and destroyed two others. The flames were so hot that siding melted off of buildings on the other side of the

street. The fire was that strong and moving that fast.

We already know that the part of town the fire took place in, the East End, is full of homes made mostly of wood and were built before many of our modern fire codes were implemented. Many buildings in the East End are also very close together. I’d hate to think what might have happened if there weren’t enough firefighters on scene to contain the inferno and

it spread to other buildings.

The next time there is a controversy around overtime pay for firefighters, or a discussion about getting the same amount of fire protection with less resources, remember this past Thursday night, and remember what Cornwall Fire Services did to stop that fire.

Finish with “Job well done”. Do you agree send you comments or letters to editor to nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

An adequate vocabulary is a must Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

An appropriate vocabulary will get you places. Without it is like showing up to a wedding dressed in cut-offs and flip-flops. How you speak at a job interview determines whether you get in the door or are shown the way out.

Some dogs have quite a vocabulary too. In her time with me (1998-2010), my Keesha acquired a considerable vocabulary. Here are some of the key ones, in approximate order of when she learned them.

unintentional gesture, or a change in my tone of voice? I do not know.

In many teaching situations, I used that shtick. Primary grade classes were titillated and inspired that they too could learn the basics of the alphabet and phonics. With developmentally-challenged youngsters, I used Keesha to teach some of the somewhat timid children to be at ease with the presence of a dog. When senior students watched that little performance, they were not only curious as to how I had trained her, but some were inspired to teach their own dog to do the same.

Good luck to them – unless they have just acquired a well-bred American Eskimo miniature pup.

staring at me as if she completely understood what was going on. (I think she did.) The ‘something’ was a treat placed at her front paws. She’d stare at it, like a cobra ready to strike.

“I’m going to say some letters of the alphabet. If you hear a consonant, you can’t have it. but if it’s a vowel, it’s yours.” At these instructions, she’d squirm with eagerness, awaiting her reward.

Very slowly and deliberately, I’d enumerate, “R – B – L – M...” However, at A, E or I, she’d immediately retrieve her little reward. I never got as far as using O or U. Did she actually learn the difference between vowels and consonants? I think not.

Did she read my mind, or interpret some

‘Keesha’ – That wasn’t her litter name. It was just one that seemed appropriate. It always got her attention. Then she became fluent in comprehending the following words: Come! - Sit! – Stay! – Wait! – No! - Yes! - I’ll be back! – Nothing for dogs! - Give! – Say hello!

Then came a spontaneous and amazing little skill. She seemed to have learned to distinguish between vowel and consonant sounds. When I wanted her to demonstrate that ability, I’d have this mock serious talk with her: “Keesha, sit. We’re going to do the Vowel/ Consonant Thing. Ready?” At that, she’d give me her undivided attention, slightly a-tremble, panting in anticipation of something,

to help complete the first phase of the Gray’s Creek marina. ... Cornwall Royals signed first-round pick Tim Bernhardt.

The goaltender came from the Sarnia midgets. The club also announced that season ticket prices would increase $10 - $100 for red section and $90 for blue section. ... Ex-Teamsters’ boss Jimmy Hoffa went missing. (They are still looking for him.) ... The year had 35 number one hits. They included One of These Nights (Eagles), SOS (Abba), You’re No Good (Linda Rondstadt) and Thank God I’m a Country Boy (John Denver).

HITS AND MISSES The StandardFreeholder newsroom has taken another kick in the proverbial groin. Long-time sports editor Kevin Gould, who in my books ranks as one of the paper’s most talented sports editors, has taken a Postmedia buyout offer. He departs at the end of this month. Huge loss. His departure will leave the S-F newsroom with four staffers - an editor, two general assignment reporters and a sports writer. Somehow, they will continue to publish six-days-a-week. At least for now.

The trend seems to be moving toward on-line editions, so the S-F six-day-aweek print edition may be on borrowed time. Meanwhile, Postmedia has shut down another daily. The Pembroke Observer’s print edition which had been around for about 125 years, published for the last time Saturday. ... The New York Daily News, once one of the most read newspapers in the United States, last week cut its newsroom to 45 from 84. It has lost $90.4 million over the last three years. Last year it sold for $1.

Dozens of U.S. daily newspapers, some of them in large cities, have ceased print editions. ... Blockbuster Video had 9,094 stores in 2004. Today it has two - one in Alaska and another in Oregon. As Bob Dylan wailed, “The Times, They are a Changin’.” The question might be, are they changin’ for the better?

THIS AND THAT Nice touch by the Bergeron family which donated a new sign for the Lutt Bergeron ball field complex. ... The case of the missing portable toilet was solved a few hours after it went missing from near the boat launch in Lamoureux Park. The contractor’s crew picked up the wrong one. It was returned later in the day, and all was well in the world again. . ... Faced with competition from on-line services, the Timmins Chamber of Commerce has closed its licence/health card bureau operation. ... Just in case this has been keeping you awake nights, in 1967 a dollar could buy three pounds of hamburg at Bernie’s Meat Market (Cumberland/ Fourth), one pound of rib steak at B & M Market (Cumberland/Ninth), two dozen large eggs at A & P (Sydney/Ninth) and a tube of family size Colgate toothpaste at Lords Drug Store (Pitt/Second). ...

Rumour has it ex-Preem (aka Premier Dad) Dalton McGuinty is about to leave the witness protection program. ...

AROUND AND ABOUT Anybody remember the Order of Eastern Star and the Order of the Rainbow Girls? Martha’s Corset Shop? ... How about Hillbilly Hoedowns at the Water Street Arena, Hal Lee’s “Platter Chatter” column in the S-F, Andy Cunningham’s “Seaway Sammy” cartoon, artist Bob Eadie’s “Jest around Cornwall” laugher. ... The Massena Fastball Tournament at Alcoa Field, the old St. Columban’s Hall on Pitt Street, buying Cole’s Notes at Kyte’s, gas wars (in 1959 one two-week pump war dropped prices to 27.8 cents a gallon), Freshie (marketed as Canada’s favourite instant drink mix), Cornwall Dance Studio and $1 dance lessons, the Glen Walter Tombola, FINA gas stations (Finest In North America).

The City of Belleville has hit the casino jackpot without rolling the dice or pulling a slot machine handle.

Last month the city, with a population slightly higher than ours, cashed a $794,381 cheque from the folks who operate Shoreline Casino, which opened in Belleville on Jan. 11, 2017. The payment, part of a share the wealth deal, brings the city’s take over the last 19 months to $4.3 million. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.

The casino is owned and operated by Great Canadian Gaming. Based in British Columbia, Great Canadian Gaming has 5,600 employees, about 300 in Belleville.

The company, which trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE), also owns resorts and race tracks in Canada and the United States. The Belleville casino was the first to open in Ontario since the McGuinty government’s casino-building freeze in 2005. Another casino is being built in Peterborough. **************** Combining a major junior hockey career and demanding Grade 13 was no problem for Cornwall Royals’ forward Ron Davidson. In 1975 the St. Lawrence High School student was the city’s top scholar with a 91% average on six Grade 13 papers. Second best scholar was Rebecca Baker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Baker of Long Sault.

Davidson obtained a law degree and currently works as a Crown attorney. He was a member of Team Canada at the 1980 Lake Placid Olympic Games. Five years later another member of the Royals was the city’s top Grade 13 scholar with a 93% average. Fred Arthur became a first-round NHL draft pick and played in

the NHL. He is now a family physician in London, Ont. ALSO THIS WEEK 1975 The city was hit with two strikes. At MCA Records, 150 union members were walking the picket line. Also on strike were Cornwall Transit bus drivers. ... ... Robert McPhail, son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael McPhail, St. Andrews, was top Ontario Scholar at General Vanier. His average was 89.3%. ...

It was learned that Chalet Glass, closed since June, was out of business. The owners had left the city. ... Traffic Inspector Harry Levere warned city bicycle owners that purchase of a onetime licence was mandatory. Cost of the plate was $3. The fine for not having a bicycle registered was set at $5. Only 1,500 of the city estimated 8,000 bicycle had been registered. ... Jim Burke, a 17-year city police department veteran, and a Korean War veteran, was promoted to patrol sergeant. The force had four patrol sergeants and four staff sergeants. ... Lloyd Gallinger, former businessman and mayor (1947-48), died at age 69. He owned Gallinger Electric and was partowner of the Lloyd George and Northway hotels. ... Crown Attorney Donald Johnson said that the court caseload handled by his office had doubled in three years. ... Richard Martin won his second Cornwall Golf and Country Club men’s championship, edging out Bruce McPhee and Mike McDonald. ...

Charlottenburgh Township council filed an objection to a proposed zoning change by Cornwall city council that would allow a hotel to be built on Boundary Road at the end of Second Street East. The developer proposed a 119-room hotel on the site. ... Two brothers, 20 and 18, were sentenced to two years in prison for the armed robbery of the Red and White gas station, 1201 Brookdale Ave., three weeks earlier. ...

The Ontario government gave the Raisin Region Conservation Authority $91,650

Caller wants to thank our Fire Service for the great job they did fighting Thursday’s fire. One firefighter even saved a box of cats from the back of one of the burning buildings and those weren’t the only cats saved from the burning rubble by our firefighters.

Sometimes being a Big Brother is better than being a superhero

A reader would like to thank Lucie at service Canada (Second & Sydney St. location) for her patience, helpful and courteous service, when she served her. A big thumbs up for her! She is a good example of what service and reliable knowledge is about. Thanks again.

Volunteer Today 613-933-8035 Rheal would like to thank the Cornwall Mazda dealership for 22 years of good service.

Caller feels that it is shameful the way city councilers can give themselves a raise to make up for a government cut back to one of their perks. They now have to pay taxes on all of their income instead of only on 70% of it. No problem,they just give themselves an increase to make up for the loss. They will say it’s OK, everyone else in SD&G is doing it too!!!

Government tries to save money,councils can spend. Too bad we all have to pay for this incompetance, with no where else to make it up.

MILDRED, THE CHURCH GOSSIP

Mildred, the church gossip and selfappointed monitor of the church’s morals, kept sticking her nose into other people’s business.

Several members did not approve of her activities but feared her enough to maintain their silence & distance.

She made a mistake, however, when she accused Frank, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his old pickup parked in front of the town’s only bar one afternoon.

She emphatically told Frank, (and many others), that everyone seeing it there would know what he was doing!

Frank, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just turned and walked away.

He didn’t explain, defend, or deny. He simply said nothing.

Later that evening, Frank quietly parked his pickup in front of Mildred’s house, walked home and left it there all night.
