The 19th Hole

August 28, 2013 Editor

The men’s Valley League competition was played at Sandy Row Golf Course on Saturday, with our team finishing third behind the winners Summer Heights and second place Cedar Glen. Point totals were close with Summer Heights winning with 1,237, Cedar Glen second with 1,245 and Morrisburg third with 1,262.

Congratulations to Gary Breyer who won B flight low gross with an 82, and Sean Boulerice who had the low net for the VIP position shooting a 94 for a 76 net.

In ladies night action, last Wednesday, August 21, the game was a scramble with either teams of three or four players. Making it a little more interesting was the rule that the gals couldn’t use their drivers.

With a score of 38 (by retrogression), the winning three players team consisted of Shannon Casselman, Lori Anne Davies and Judy Laurin.

The evening was sponsored by Shannon’s Flower Station at the Ingleside Home Hardware.

In the four player team category, with a score of 36, was the team of Diane Gallinger, Shelley Broad, Colleen Smith and Crystal Belanger.

The three person team with the least putts (12) consisted of Bonnie VanMoorsel, Heather Black and Leanne McCooeye, while the four person team with the least putts (13) included Sandra O’Neil, Debbie Butzner, Nancy Cassell and Peggy Wilson.

Coming up this week, the Ladies night sponsor is Evonik.

Men’s night on Thursday was sponsored by Bill Dillabough/Pizza Hutt, Cornwall.

The format was a scramble with the low score of 27 posted by the team of Sam Laurin, Kirk Barkley, Lance LePage and Scott Hodgson.

Closest to the pin shooters were Korey Casselman on #5 and Liam Mills on #8.

That’s it for this week. Have a great long weekend…and make a game at the Morrisburg Golf Club part of it.

Making way for MacEwen

August 28, 2013 Editor

Four months from the time that construction begins, MacEwen Petroleum Inc. expects to be opening the doors to the redevelopment taking place at the corner of County Roads 2 and 31 in Morrisburg.

Although not ready to release full details about what MacEwen has planned for the site, Allan MacEwen, company president, confirmed that the new location will include a gas bar, fast food outlet, convenience store, and touchless carwash.

Once the new property is ready, the existing MacEwen, location, which includes a McDonald’s Restaurant, will close. He said that the property will either be redeveloped or sold.

MacEwen would not discuss details regarding the McDonald’s.

Plans are to start construction this fall. “We won’t open the doors until the pavement is done,” said MacEwen, who expects the re-development to be complete in the new year.

“We are really looking forward to this better location,” said MacEwen. “It has good access, puts us closer to traffic from the 401 and will really improve the looks of that corner.”

“We love having a site in Morrisburg.”

Jean Roles

August 21, 2013 Editor

A lifetime resident of the area, Jean Roles passed away peacefully at Brockville General Hospital with her family by her side, on Saturday, August 10, 2013. She was 85.

Jean was born in Williamsburg Township, on July 4, 1928, to her parents Frank and Eva Casselman (nee Bowman). Jean was the youngest of eight children, and she was an aunt to two young nieces the day she was born.

Jean never knew her father because he passed away four months before she was born after being struck by a falling tree while cutting wood in the bush.

Around 1944, Prescott was booming, so after finishing school Jean and her friends moved to Prescott to work and that is where she met the love of her life, Donald “Duke” Roles.

They were married on August 10, 1946, and lived in Prescott for a year before moving to Morrisburg, where Jean resided for the next 63 years.

Jean will be fondly remembered by her family and friends as a kind, generous person who possessed a hearty laugh and a tremendous faith in God. This faith helped her maintain a positive outlook and cope with the difficulties she experienced throughout her life such as being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when she was just 30 years of age.

Jean was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who was very proud of her family and their accomplishments. She always took great pride in her appearance.

Jean is survived by her children Sandra (Barry) McIntosh of Prescott and Wayde (Linda) of Boucks Hill, her grandchildren Lance (Cheryl) McIntosh, Laine McIntosh, Derek (Danette) Roles and her great-grandchildren Landon, Brooke, Taylor and Jayden. Dear sister of Wellington (Ruth) Casselman of Froatburn.

Perspectives by Rev. Duncan Perry

August 21, 2013 Editor

What's Happening?

What in the world is going on? I remember hearing that question when I was just a kid. Generally it came from my Mom’s lips after we as children became too wild when playing and suddenly something got broken, or one of the smaller children got hurt, or some such occurrence.

Mom would appear on the scene, voice slightly raised, with the famous words “what in the world is going on?” Maybe some of you remember this happening in your childhood as well?

Today I hear that same phrase again. In fact, I hear it much more today than when I was little.

Now a days, it seems wherever you go, someone is asking the question, “what in the world is going on.“

Today, people are wondering about the weather or about some catastrophe that has happened. Today I hear people, who have been around for a few years, say, “I’ve never seen weather like this. I read a little while ago, that there were more earthquakes in the last decade then there was in the 20th century. I don’t know if that is a fact or not, I’m just repeating what I have read.

Certainly, we would have to agree that we do hear of more earthquakes and more devastation today than ever before.

Just a few years ago, we heard about another catastrophe event, a Tsunami. I had never heard the word before and since then there have been several, though not as big

The weather continues to amaze me with the violent winds, heavy rain, hurricanes, tornadoes etc. No wonder people are asking, “what in the world is going on?”

May I point you to a book that has the answers for us. It is the Bible, and it has the answers because its author is God, who knows everything and is in control of all things.

For example, God moved the great apostle Paul to write in his letter to the Roman church. In Romans, Chapter 8, verse 22, we read, “For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.”

Paul has been talking about the effect the sin has had on the world since our first parents, Adam & Eve disobeyed and rebelled against God. Paul tells us that all creation has been effected. However, a day is coming when God will make all things new and there will be no more catastrophic events such as we see now.

Until then though, we can expect things to get progressively worse. So maybe a better question is “what in the world do we do?”

Well, there really is only one thing to do, if we want to live without fear of what’s happening or what can happen.

A wise King, thousands of years ago told us what to do. It’s found in the Proverbs of King Solomon, chapter 3, verse 5. Here is what it says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all thy ways, acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.”

Sound advice, when we remember it is only God who knows it all and is able to keep us safe. Not only in this life but also in eternity.

Rev. Duncan Perry,
