Sunday evening racing at the Cornwall Motor Speedway featured the final stage of the Race for the Cure Sportsman Series, with Martin Pelletier first to the checkered flag, capturing his second win of the series, in front of Johnathon Ferguson and Kurtis Cayer.
In the overall standings, Ferguson's second-place result gave him the trophy, with Brianna Ladouceur second and Pelletier third.
The Race for the Cure fundraiser saw $10,000 collected, boosted by Brianna Ladouceur's donation of $1,000 from her purse. Samantha Marshall and Linda Sauvé each left the Speedway with $5,500 to help in the battle against cancer and for receiving treatments at Cornwall's hospital. A huge thank-you goes out to Steve and Wendy Morris for their involvement in the series and fundraiser.

The 2018 edition of the Alexandria junior 'B' Glens hockey club training camp has been moved to Cornwall, due to equipment problems at the Billy Gebbie Arena that are preventing staff from putting in the ice sheet.
In addition, the junior 'A' Hawks had booked ice time in Alexandria for exhibition action with the Cornwall Colts. This has now been moved to St. Isidore.
North Glengarry deputy mayor Jamie MacDonald tells The News that "When the staff were going through their checklist for start-up, they noticed an issue with the chiller. The contractor could only come today (Aug. 21) to fix it, hence pushing back start-up for a few days."
The ice is now scheduled to be ready for Aug. 29.

The Glengarry Soccer League's tier 2 men's division championship series is scheduled to kick off on Monday, Aug. 27 on the main field at Char-Lan District High School, where the unbeaten Celtics will tangle with McCrimmon. Start time is set for 8:30 p.m.
Game two will be played a week later on the pitch at Lochiel, and should a third match be needed, it will go back at Char-Lan on Sept. 6.
Semifinal play saw both teams sweep their opponents.
The Celtics got past Glen Nevis 4-3 (Tristian Derouchie, Shawn Montroy, Andre Sauve, and Alex Lillois scoring for the winning side, while Jason Van den Oetelaar with two and Hubert Gauthier had the replies) and 5-2, while McCrimmon beat Greenfield 5-3 and 7-0.
