Jim Martell CORNWALL, Ontario - Local fastpitch softball players, Jim Martell, Bryan Lamarche and Steve McGillis, recently returned from Auckland, New Zealand where they earned a bronze medal in the Men’s 45+ Competitive Division. Jim Martell organized this team with players from western Ontario as well as British Columbia. Seven teams were in their division, including two other Canadian teams from BC and Alberta, one team from Australia and three teams from New Zealand. All games were very close and they ended up in first place after round robin play. Unfortunately, they lost 2 -1 against a very strong New Zealand team, the Whakatu Rebels, in the semi-finals which meant a bronze medal game against the Ladner Masters from BC. They won this game 2 – 0 which earned them a bronze medal. This is the third time that Martell has put together a team and entered the World Masters Games. In 2009, in Sydney, Australia, his team lost in the gold medal game against New Zealand and they earned a silver medal. With the exception of 2 players, all team members were from the Cornwall area and played in the Cornwall Mens Fastball League at King George
Park. In 2013, in Torino, Italy, his team won gold. Bryan Lamarche and Steve McGillis were players in all 3 of these competitions with Frank Marceau and Brian O’Neill playing in 2009 and 2013. The World Masters Games take place every 4 years and started in Toronto, Ontario back in 1985. There are 28 sports that are available to participate in, a person need only be 35 years or older. In Auckland, New Zealand this year, there were over 27,000 athletes that participated with over 100 countries represented. The oldest athlete was 101! You do not need to qualify to participate and the opening and closing ceremonies are amazing. It’s a great way to travel! This was the 6th time Jim Martell had participated in the World Masters Games and he now has two bronze medals, a silver and a gold. The next World Masters Games take place in 2021 in Kansai, Japan and Martell is hoping once again to enter a team. He had thoughts of retiring after the New Zealand games, but once he heard it was Japan, he was sold! Anyone interested in the World Masters Games can contact Jim Martell at 613-9312255 or cornwallcruising@gmail.com.

Torch Run blazing a trail of inspirational success Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc
For 29 years, the Cornwall Community Police Service (CCPS) has been participating in the Law Enforcement Torch Run in support of the Special Olympics. On Wednesday, May 17 officers of the CCPS were out again in the community in support of this important cause. This year, they raised about $30, 000. “From my perspective the LETR is the “best of what we do,”” said Officer Brian Snyder. “I’ve learned that the Special Olympics athletes are the true heroes in the relationship with Law Enforcement. Their courage rivals any risks that we (police) might take – these athletes are the bravest people that I have ever encountered.
They remind me that there is hope. They remind me that there are truly good people that we serve.” Over the 29 years that the CCPS has participated in the Law Enforcement Torch Run they have raised between 2.5 to 3 million dollars, Snyder estimates. “In 1996 Cornwall Police where the first police organization to host and sponsor a games,” Snyder said. “We raised more than $800,000.00 that year. First time in the history of Ontario Special Olympics that a games was completely paid by the sponsoring organization. Our legacy is that from that point forward police service have been hosting games and all have been totally paid for by sponsorships. Previous to that Special Olympics always had to chip in money to ensure the games success.”

The Ox Claude McIntosh The northeastern Drivers Independent Race Tracks (DIRT) circuit lost a legend over the winter with the passing of Doug “The Ox” Carlyle. The 62-year-old native and resident of Kingston died Jan. 16 after suffering a heart attack. His wife took him to the hospital after he complained of not feeling well while watching TV. He died soon after arriving at the emergency ward. Carlyle took up the sport in the early 1970s and soon established himself as one of the top drivers on the northeastern DIRT circuit. He won track championships at Can-Am in Lafargeville,N.Y., Frogtown (Mohawk International), Brockville, Kingston and Cornwall. He retired from racing in the mid-1990s. He was inducted into the DIRT Hall of Fame in 2004. Carlyle was not only good, he was exciting, which made him so popular with track fans. “He was fun to watch. Old school manhandling. Back ‘er in and mash the gas. Heaven’s got another great one,” said one fan on Facebook. Jim Gallinger of Cornwall, who knew Carlyle and helped on his team, described him as a fun-loving guy who enjoyed talking to fans, especially kids. “He was an easy guy to get along with and he enjoyed a good time,” said Gallinger. “No question, he was a legend. One of the best.” His greatest seasons came with the Sheldon Legue race team. Legue of Cornwall was one of the most successful car owners in DIRT. In 1986 the Carlyle-Legue team won 17 small-block modified features and track championships at Cornwall and Can-Am. They topped that off by winning the DIRT small block title. The team repeated championship seasons at Cornwall and Can-Am in 1987 and placed third in the DIRT standings. In 1988 Carlyle and the Legue team parted company. Legue replaced him with a younger and less

Local Top Shot experienced Pat O’Brien Jr., who hailed from a famous Kingston racing family, and while the team still had success it was never the same without “The Ox” behind the wheel. TICK OF THE SPORTS CLOCK CIRCA MAY 1966 Doug Taillon, the grand-daddy of the North End Fastball League mound corps, served notice that he hadn’t lost his touch over the winter. The veteran hurler allowed just three base hits and struck out eight as Glengarry Transport Limited (GTL) edged Courtaulds 2-1 before a big crowd at King George Park. Doug Casselman took the loss despite holding GTL to two hits while striking out six. GTL’s Ron Branchaud had the game’s only extra-base hit, a double. Taillon came up big in the bottom of the seventh when Courtaulds loaded the bases with two out. Taillon nailed the victory with a strikeout. ... Ron Robillard scored nine goals as Cornwall Wildcats defeated St. Andrews Ironmen 21-4 in a Seaway Junior Lacrosse League game. Ron Thompson had six goals. ... Jacques Lapierre of the Montreal Canadiens was named winner of the Norris Trophy. Chicago’s Pierre Pilote was runner-up. BITS AND PIECES Not much doubt that the National Hockey League is a more skilled game than before expansion. The players are bigger, faster and more mobile. However, when it comes to play-by-play broadcasters, especially with the expanded coverage, there are no equals to Foster Hewitt, Danny Gallivan, Dan Kelly and Rene Lacavalier. ... Hard to believe that it was 36 years ago that the Cornwall Royals won their third Memorial Cup. ... For years Don Cherry railed against European players in the NHL. Imagine what it would be like today without European players. ... Now we know why the rest of major league baseball took a pass on signing Jose Bautista during the offseason. At $18.5 million for the 2017 season, he is the highest paid .200 hitter in the majors. The good news for the Jays is that next year’s contract includes a $500,000 buyout clause.
FSgt Tanya Audrey Dussiaume receiving her medal from MCpl Bradford Sigurdson at the Zone 19 marksmanship competition. Her combined score in the standing and prone position was the highest amongst 60 competitors from Eastern Ontario. Flight Sergeant Tanya Audrey Dussiaume has been awarded the title of Top Shot in the Zone 19 Zone Shoot held as part of the competition series with the Canadian Cadet Organization held on April 1st in Cornwall. FSgt Dussiaume is a member of the 325 Cornwall Kiwanis Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron here in Cornwall. The competition is the second stage of a four-stage competition which eventually leads to a national level competition. Zone 19 covers the area from Brockville, to South Ottawa, to the Quebec boarder. Twelve teams competed in the competition, with 60 competitors in total. Marksmanship is a sport merging technique and skill as a competitor attempts to shoot the highest score, or a bulls-eye. Unlike straightforward target shooting, competitors
fire a single shot at each target, forcing them to re-orient for each shot and focus on technique over habit. FSgt Dussiaume had a final score of 83.5 shooting twice in a standing position and twice in a prone position. The standing position is relatively new to the cadet program, which is seen as a tougher position to shoot high scores in. The 325 Cornwall Kiwanis Squadron entered two teams this year, with each team consisting of 5 cadets. Both teams were coached by MCpl Bradford Sigurdson, a volunteer with the squadron. The squadron is sponsored by the Cornwall Kiwanis Club and Royal Canadian Air Force Association Wing 424, donating funds towards equipment for the team.

Murphy reigns victorious at Boxing for Change Alycia Douglass
Dan Allaire and David Murphy duke it out at the inaugural Boxing for Change event at the Nav Centre. (Robert Lefebvre) laughed Luis. “I put a little water in my wine when it came to my expectations, but they did good.” Hometown hero, Tony Luis was also on hand as an official during the fight, and says he’s proud of the two for their first and last appearance in the ring.
“They fought pretty well for big boys,” said Luis. Following his win, Murphy said his respect for the sport has grown significantly throughout his training. “I’ve got so much respect for the guys and gals at that gym, but it starts with Jorge and
Elaine,” said Murphy. “All the trainers, all the competitors, everyone who’s here tonight.” “We went round and round, toe-to-toe, pound for pound,” said Murphy, waxing poetic. “And at the end of the day, we gave it all we had, and if nothing else, it was for both our dads.”

CORNWALL, Ontario - Is Cornwall destined to become a boxing town? With tangible excitement filling the Nav Centre at this Saturday’s inaugural Boxing for Change event - it seems the city may really be hooked. A boxing event 13 months in the making, city councillor David Murphy faced off against local radio personality, Dan Allaire in support of Champs Eastside Boxing Club and the Cornwall Children’s Treatment Centre. World Class Heavyweight, Gerry Cooney was the event’s guest speaker, weighing in on the headlining fight, and his life in boxing. “You’ve got to be in tip-top shape when that bell rings,” said Cooney. “The secret is to bring the confidence you learn in the ring into your everyday life.” The event featured a total of eight bouts of Olympic style amateur boxing, which Cooney noted ‘reminded him of the past.’ It was anyone’s fight during the three intense rounds, with Murphy throwing some healthy blows and Allaire working hard to tire him out. Allaire found his fire at the tail end of the first round against his winded opponent. By the second round, Murphy gathered himself for a relentless attack on Allaire, who had to work to dodge and block Murphy’s attempts. By the third and final round, Allaire seemed to be on top, throwing some mean blows against a visibly drained Murphy. In the end, however, Murphy was victorious. Having trained alongside Murphy for over a year, Allaire says that ‘there’s no shame in losing to Dave.’ “I never thought I’d get in a ring,” said Allaire. “But I’m glad I did.” Throughout those 13 gruelling months, the two trained under the skilled instruction of Champs’ Jorge Luis. “It turned out a lot better than I thought,”
Hometown glory for Loucks
6 of 8 - Wednesday, May 24, 2017 - Seaway News—8 Page Wrap - www.cornwallseawaynews.com
Alycia Douglass CORNWALL, Ontario - It’s been a whirlwind year for Cornwall native, Jakob Loucks. Having earned the title of AUS Football Rookie of the Year in 2016, more recently winning the Jacques Richard Trophy as Cornwall’s Top Sports Personality, Loucks has had some time to reflect on his success. Loucks is quarterback for the Mount Allison Mounties, and while he has received significant recognition in New Brunswick and Hamilton, he says there’s something special about accepting an award back home. “I feel relieved and honoured to have finally done something great enough to be recognized by Cornwall, the place that will always be my home,” said Loucks. “It truly is even more special to have received the Jacques Richard Trophy in my hometown, in front of my family, friends, teammates, coaches, teachers, and the community as a whole.” For Loucks, countless hours of hard work and dedication are to thank for these accolades. With a typical day starting out with classes, next, joining the team for film sessions, followed by a two-and-a-half hour practise; there’s just barely enough time to finish up assignments before hitting the hay. Loucks says that time management has been the most difficult skill to master as a student athlete. “Student athletes have a lot less time to study and write papers due to our intense schedules,” said Loucks. “It was extremely difficult for me in my first year as I was juggling taking 5 classes, learning the playbook, and being the starting quarterback.” Despite the challenges that Loucks faces as a student athlete, he says that he likes the small community feel that Mount Allison provides. “If I have to go downtown to grab some food or anything I need, strangers will wish me good luck on the upcoming game and know me by name,” said Loucks. “It’s an awesome feeling.” While Loucks has received an outpouring of support from coaches, teammates, and friends, he says that his family have been the true secret to his success. “My family always put themselves second to me so that I could do what I loved,” said Loucks. “Whether it being spending the leftover money we had to pay for me to play organized football or sacrificing their weekends to drive me to and

from games. My family has sacrificed everything for me and I wouldn’t be here without them.” Having originally been attracted to the glory of the game, Loucks says he has matured a lot over the years.
“Football to me is running out of the tunnel and there’s a line of younger kids on both sides waiting for a high five. I was a kid just like that and just a simple high five whenever you run by could mean all the difference in a kid’s life,” said
Loucks. “The glory and the accolades are what attracted me to football, but as I continue my career the impact this game has on others is what keeps me going.”

Golf: A family sport can introduce them to the rules of the game. For adults and kids alike, the greatest joy of playing golf is hitting balls. Each shot offers the satisfaction of watching the ball shoot up and away. And the more you improve, the more you want to become even more precise and consistent. When kids are first introduced to golf, it’s important that they are coached well, since progress will keep them interested in playing. Golf is a sport in which you can improve, blossom and take on challenges. No two shots are the same. Golf also requires a lot of concentration and analysis. And it’s a great sport for kids.

Are you tired of sitting on the bench, watching your children play a sport while you’re not included? Maybe it’s time to consider golf. One of golf’s main advantages is that it can be played by the entire family. Parents and kids can play together on the same course. In fact, golf courses are seeing more and more families playing together-and each member being equally passionate about the sport. Golf is well adapted to kids; even young children can play it. Little ones can start off by simply hitting balls; it’s not even necessary to step foot on the course. Gradually, as they develop their putting and driving skills, you
