Nine men have been charged with de- frauding a Brookdale Avenue gas station in Cornwall of $125,000 in fuel over the span of three months earlier this year. The nine, seven from the Montreal area and two from the Toronto area, face 142 charges of using a forged credit card and possession of credit card data between Feb- ruary and May this year.. Four of the men were arrested today by the Cornwall Community Police Service Fraud Unit. Five others were arrested July 26, according to Cornwall police. Lahkwinder Bains, 29, and Majail Nirbal, 53 of Lasalle, Que., and Satnam Natt, 28, of Mississauga, and Inderjit Saini, 40 of Bramp- ton were arrested today and charged with numerous credit card offences. Amritpal Singh, 37, and Jagmohan Singh, 41 of Vaudreuil-Dorion, Que; Palwinder Jo- hal, 53, and Joravar Dhugga, 31 of Laval, Que.; and Gurvinder Saini, 31 of Lasalle, Que. also face numerous credit card fraud charges after being arrested July 26. A 21-year-old Williamstown man is ac- cused of accelerating toward a police ve- hicle and ramming it head on during an anti-smuggling operation by the Cornwall Regional Task Force. CRTF members, assisted by the Lancaster OPP, setup a check point at the intersection of Fraser Road and old Raisin River Camp- ground Road near Lancaster to intercept two suspected smugglers after earlier spot- ting them towing cargo trailers. But when the members activated their emergency lights of their marked police in order to intercept the suspects, one of the drivers accelerated and rammed his four- wheeler head on into a police vehicle and then fled into the woods.

Seaway Lions Ribfest drew 40,000 to 50,000 Crowd members listen to live music at Lamoureux Park in Cornwall during Ribfest 2012, which attracted thousands more people than expected by organizers.
To the editor:
and a few minor suggestions. Overall everyone seemed pleased and demanded that we have the same event next year. People say they were pleased with the entertainment, food, midway, sound and prices. I think we did things right since all of our vendors want to return next year. It was very satisfying to see families en- joying their time at ribfest. On Saturday evening I looked out and there was not a spot left for anybody to sit and the sidewalks were full and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and that was very satisfying. The Cornwall Seaway Lions Club would like to thank all the people in the area for supporting us.
We held our first annual ribfest and when we began planning we had hoped to at- tract 10,000 to 15,000 attendees to our event. We have been informed that we had be- tween 13,000 to 15,000 people attend on Friday night. We were blessed with great weather, great volunteers and an amazing turnout. 50,000 visitors I have been informed that we had some- where between 40,000 to 50,000 people at- tend our event. The rib vendors(ribbers) were so over- whelmed that they found out that they had not taken enough ribs or chicken with them and had to arrange overnight shipments for both Saturday and Sunday. They also had to purchase a lot of chicken locally. We received nothing but compliments,
