The art students of HolyTrinity Catholic Secondary School have been working very hard to create memory boxes for the fami- lies of Roger’s House who have lost a child to illness. The idea to embark on this project was brought forward to the art teacher, Renée Lalande, whose daughter passed away at Roger’s House on Feb. 6, 2012. The students were happy to show their sup- port towards their teacher and the grieving parents by helping out in any way they could. On April 23, the art students visited Roger’s House so they could personally donate their memory boxes and learn a little more about Roger’s House.

Police make big contraband tobacco seizure GREG KIELEC GREG.KIELEC@EAP.ON.CA
South Glengarry April 9. The tobacco was found inside a detached garage on the property and one of the ve- hicles. As CRTF members converged on the property to investigate, one of the vehicles was stopped by police. Vehicle occupants Alexander Millar , 20, of Lancaster, and Devon Brown , 19, from South Glengarry, were detained.
It is alleged the two men were in the pro- cess of moving the tobacco when the CRTF arrived on scene. Along with the tobacco, two vehicles were seized. Both men were arrested for possession of contraband tobacco and transported to Cornwall RCMP Detachment for processing. Millar was held in custody pending a bail hearing, while Brown was released from custody on a promise to appear note. In the early evening hours of April 8, CRTF members were called to the Cornwall Port of Entry where Canada Border Services Agency officers had stopped Gary Gabriel, 46, fromOka, Que., with five cases of contra- band cigarettes. Gabriel was later released and charged. On April 2, while conducting a RIDE checkpoint in South Stormont, the Ontario Provincial Police stopped a vehicle for in- vestigation. The investigation revealed that Jacques Duval , 66, fromVankleek Hill, was in posses- sion of eight cases of contraband cigarettes. Members of the CRTF were called to take over the investigation. Along with the contraband, Duval’s 2005 Chevrolet Venture van was seized. Duval was processed and later released from cus- tody on a promise to appear.
In terms of contraband tobacco seizures in the Cornwall area, this one has to be de- scribed as a heavyweight. Members of the Cornwall Regional Task Force seized 824 kg of fine cut tobacco af- ter noticing suspicious activity at a shore- line residence while conducting patrols in
