School districts score tee-rrific golf tournaments
families to enjoy a happier childhood. “We have touched hundreds of children’s lives by making their childhood better,”stat- ed David K. Thomas, foundation president. “We have helped them play soccer, paid for dance lessons, or helped kids attend sum- mer camp.” Revenue from entry fees for 160 golf- ers and various auction events during the tournament held at the Cornwall Golf and Country Club accounted for $35,000 for the foundation. The other $20,000 from this year’s event came from the proceeds for raffle tickets foundation members have been selling the ings or other special events. Sometimes there is no charge for use of a neighbourhood school. In other cases a nominal fee is required. The UCDSB has determined that its com- munity use policy for schools is not consis- tent and that some groups that once had free use after-hours use of their neighbour- hood schools may have to start paying a small fee for the privilege. But the UCDSB wants all community groups that use its facilities for their meet- ings and other events to first contact the district office to find out if there will be any changes to their current arrangements with
past few months. Since it was set up in January 2008, the Champions for Kids Foundation has raised more than $700,000 to use to help children in need enjoy sports and arts and other ac- tivities as well as assist families with extra costs involved for special medical care for their children like travel and parking ex- penses to hospitals. Another school district golf tournament taking place July 3 was the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario’s Sixth An- nual Good Samaritan Trust Fund event at the Smith Falls Golf and Country Club. Tour- nament organizers tallied up more than
$16,400 to add to the fund. The Good Samaritan Trust Fund was set up in 2007 with the goal of helping students and their families in the school district’s area of operations with needs that may not be covered through other existing agencies like community food banks, snowsuit fund projects, or breakfast clubs. “This tournament has become our flag- ship fundraiser for the Good Samaritan Trust Fund,” stated William J. Gartland, dis- trict director of education. “It is so impor- tant for us to be able to provide this unique support system for our students and their families.”

In Eastern Ontario golf tournaments are popular for fundraising purposes. Two of the larger English school districts are cele- brating big successes with their latest tee time efforts. The Upper Canada District School Board’s Sixth Annual Champions for Kids Founda- tion Charity Golf Tournament wrapped up after the last round of play July 3 with $55,000 to help children from disadvantage

the board. Special circumstances, like a non-profit group needing a place for meet- ings and programs, may still see the UCDSB open to allowing free use after-hours of a local school building or other facility. The board will also set up a focus group composed of representatives for district principals, trustees, administration, and community groups to review the present
community use policy and procedure for school property and identify any issues of concern for a later report with recommen- dations to the board. Groups wondering if they will need to pay a fee for after-hours use of a UCDSB school or interested in being part of the focus group can call the Upper Canada district of- fice toll-free at 1-800-267-7131.

BROCKVILLE | Some community groups may need to start bit of extra budgeting if they are using a local school for their events. The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) did a review of its community use policy for school district properties. The UCDSB and many other school districts al- low some community groups use of neigh- bourhood school facilities for their meet-

FORMULE 6 VENTE DE BIENS-FONDS PAR APPEL D’OFFRES Loi de 2001 sur les municipalités
L’ORIGNAL | A little more work on the roads and then most of a bonus surplus for the counties goes into a reserve fund for the cycling network. The United Counties of Prescott-Russell council (UCPR) enjoyed the luxury of ap- proving a budget surplus report during its June 26 regular session. Public Works Di- rector Marc Clermont reported $1.8 million left over in his 2013 capital works budget thanks to lower-than-expected bids for a public tender on the counties asphalt pav- ing contract for this year. After reviewing the current priorities list for road work in Prescott-Russell and also checking out the status of some of the counties’ facilities, Clermont recom- mended using part of the $1.8 million to extend some paving work already planned for County Road 1 up to its connection with County Road 8 and on County Road 3 in Russell Township up to the Russell village limits. Clermont also recommended paving the shoulders of County Roads 18 and 14 in the vicinity of the village of Ste-Anne-de- Prescott, and using $400,000 of the sur- plus to demolish and rebuild the Embrun salt storage facility. The current structure is more than two decades old and "in critical shape" according to Clermont’s report. The surplus remainder will go into a re- serve fund for improvements to the UCPR cycling trail network once the strategic plan for that project is done and counties council has the final report for review.
