Arts and Culture News!Former Cornwall Mayor supports a new artsand cultural centre! Former Cornwall MayorBrian Lynch wrote the following: "I wish tocongratulate the Cornwall Regional ArtGallery on its 30th anniversary in ourcommunity. The Art Gallery has been atremendous asset for the City ofCornwall. The Art Gallery, through itsexhibitions and educational programs

improves the quality of life in ourcommunity by making art accessible to everyone. It also enhancesthe City’s image and promotes tourism and economicdevelopment. At the present time, the Art Gallery has outgrown itspresent location. As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the ArtGallery, it is time for the City of Cornwall to bring back the positionof arts and culture co-ordinator and to begin working with the ArtGallery and other local arts organizations to develop plans for a newcommunity arts and cultural centre. We badly need an arts andcultural centre to house the Art Gallery with a studio theatre toaccommodate the city’s theatre groups, dance troupes, and localmusicians. A new arts and cultural centre will make Cornwall’s artsand cultural scene more vibrant, make Cornwall a better place inwhich to live, and attract new businesses and jobs."

Tickets for the 30th anniversary Gala reception onFriday, October 19th are on sale at the Gallery for $25.

More and more I realize how great it feels to give back to mycommunity. It is important to get involved, and be sure to bring ourkids along - our future generation needs to learn this important lifevalue at a young age: being a kind, giving person is priceless! Wedon’t always need to be rewarded or have a $ sign at the end of it,just the satisfaction that you are a good person with a great heartshould be enough.

A huge reminder to everyone to come and live this amazing event onSunday, November 4th, 11:00am to 4:00pm at Marlin’s Orchards. The 3rd annual Trunk Sale and Pamper

Me Party - a fundraiser in support of MS - costs $5 at the door per person, what a great day it will be! The organizers wouldlove to exceed the $11,000 that was given to the cause last year, as well as the 2000 people that walked through thedoors. This is becoming a must-see yearly event and people are attending from near and far. Please make sure tobring cash! There will be over 50 original vendors, you will be able to purchase gift certificates for loved ones or buythat special something for yourself as well. I am so excited to be a part of this for the second year in a row, I feelprivileged to be among so many talented, local people. Help us raise fundsin order to give back to an awesome cause. I hope to see you there, pleasestop by and say hello!

I was thrilled to find myself one more time in The Boys and Girls Clubkitchen with the Teens on Friday, October 12th. We prepared a greatItalian meal together consisting of spaghetti , salad, garlic bread andhomemade cookies. It was a great experience and really nice to seeeveryone enjoying it. I will be volunteering two hours a week one Friday amonth. Next month will be “Mexican Night”, OLE!

I had a great time joining in the Walk for Health (organized weekly byDr. Marie-Josee Cardinal along with The Biggest Loser participants andmembers of the community) on Saturday , October 13th. We enjoyed a3.5km walk from Quest gym to Nav Canada and back on a beautiful Fall

morning. Many people showed up to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis. The event raisedover $400 in memory of Marc Belanger. Congrats to Dr. MJ and Tom Irvine (Quest gym) for helping so manylive their best lives ever from the inside out.

There is always something amazing going on around us, the key is to get involved. You get out of life what you put intoit, right? Nothing like taking a great walk, being part of a group and just doing it!!! Try it, you might like it!

Fixed Rate or Variable RateThe decision to choose a fixed or variable rateis not always an easy one. It should dependon your tolerance for risk as well as yourability to withstand increases in mortgagepayments. You can sometimes expect a

financial reward for going with the variable rate, although theprecise magnitude will ebb and flow depending on the economicenvironment.

Fixed rate mortgages often appeal to clients who want stability intheir payments, manage a tight monthly budget, or are generallymore conservative. For example, young couples with largemortgages relative to their income might be better off opting for thepeace of mind that a fixed-rate brings.

A variable rate mortgage often allows the borrower to takeadvantage of lower rates -- the interest rate is calculated on anongoing basis at a lenders’ prime rate minus a set percentage. Forexample, if the prime mortgage rate is 5.5 percent, the holder of aprime minus 0.5 percent mortgage would pay a 5.00 percentvariable interest rate.

As a consumer, the best option is to have a candid discussion withyour mortgage professional to ensure you have a full understandingof the risks and rewards of each type of mortgage.money, pay lessinterest and pay off your mortgage years earlier!

MORTGAGE MATTERSwith Derrick Cracknell


SurrenderSurrender is not necessarily one of my favoritewords. Despite this it keeps coming up inconversation and is evidently a SIGN. I thinkmy resistance to the word is that old visual

from cowboy or war movies where surrenderinginvolves sticking your hands high into the air and offering yourself upto another person, potentially the enemy.

Okay, I know this is not what it really means and that to surrender doesnot mean giving up or giving in. Nor does surrender imply weaknessor loss. According to the dictionary to surrender means to relinquishcontrol, and detach from results. Darn – there’s that control thingagain.

I turned back to one of my favorite all time books, Return to Love byMarianne Williamson, seeking some solace and clarity on this subject.She suggests that surrender is powerful nonresistance, being openand receptive to allowing our lives to be guided by a higher power. Inthis state of nonresistance you allow ‘spirit to infuse your life and tooffer you meaning anddirection’.

I have to say that I am all for that. It simply gets confusing when I try tofigure everything out for myself not to mention that I also step backinto being a control freak. When you stop trying to control all the

events in your life, you notice that things fall into place anyway and that thereis a natural order to them.

So how do you surrender? Now that is the $20,000,000 question. Even as I say tomyself all I have to do is surrender I feel the trepidation and wonder how do youso this. I can only share what I am learning at the moment and to suggest to you,that although surrender seems unfamiliar and uncomfortable, I suspect we areall in this boat together. It is a new experience.

Re-Connect with your Heart The starting point for me is to forge a new relationship with my heart. Thisbegins by putting aside 10 to 15 minutes of quiet ME FIRST time, sitting or lyingcomfortably, away from all distractions. Place your hand on your heart and feelit beating under your hand.

With each breath in imagine that your heart is expanding. Infuse your heart withlove on each in-breath and on the out-breath imagine this love extending youyour entire self. As you continue, notice any stress in your body, and then releaseit on each out-breath.

Consider an issue which has been troublesome for you and perhaps whatactions you have been taking to control it. On the next outbreath release theseactions and ask your heart the question, “what would be in my highest good?”Don’t expect an immediate answer; simply rest with the question for a fewmoments, then ask again, “what would be in my highest good?”

Your heart is the seat of amazing wisdom and knowledge. Unfortunately it isoverruled by your head and buried under worry, anxiety, frustration andimpatience. Impatience by the way is the highest form of resistance, likepushing at something. When you push there is an equal and opposite force inreturn.

As you continue your heart ‘meditation’, imagine yourself floating in a sea oflight. The water sparkles, infused with hues of purple, turquoise and yellow.These colours dance around you. You feel all the resistance you have beenexperiencing begin to float away and as you drift, your heart opens evenfurther. You begin to appreciate that all you need to know is there, you needonly to relax and allow it to come to you.

Back to RealityI hear you, REALLY! Can this possibly work? YES! And it takes time. As with anynew habit it must be practiced. I wish there were a simple switch you could turnon and off, to step from control freak into control free and to experiencecomplete surrender. Wouldn’t that be blissful.

The thing is, and you know this as well as I do, you are simply getting in yourown way when it comes to moving forward in life. Everything you want iswaiting for you. Your work is to conceive it (ask for what you want), believe it(imagine that what you want is already a reality) and receive it (get out of theway and allow it).

roadSIGNS by Betty Healey

Here’s the challenge: changing any habit takes 21 days. My invitation to youis to take the time each day for the next 3 weeks to re-connect with yourheart. Follow the instructions I have offered and see what happens. Younever know, new doors may open and something you never expected mayarrive on your doorstep!

It must be the Irish in me, I just love potatoes! baked,mashed,scalloped, hash browns, any way at all! Thisevening, I was out in my vegetable garden digging uppotatoes until it got so dark I couldn't tell potatoes fromrocks. It was time to go in the house. I thought I wouldgive you this lovely roasted chicken and potato recipe. Italso uses fresh herbs which you may still have in yourgarden. My sage and thyme in my herb garden can bepicked throughout the winter. They give such a tremendous flavour in many dishes. With the cooler weather, it is apleasure to have the oven on.

INGREDIENTS:1- 3 to 4 lb. roasting chicken (Try our locally raised whole chickens at my store, Sharyn's Pantry)1 lemon, cut into quarters3 garlic cloves1 large onion, peeled and quartered1/4 cup softened buttersalt and pepper 3 lb. potatoes, peeled and each one cut into quarters

METHOD:-This serves 6 nicely.-Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.-Rinse and thoroughly pat dry the chicken, inside and out.-Rub the cut lemon over the outside of the chicken, then squeeze the juice over the chicken and into the cavity. -Place the lemon quarters, garlic cloves and the quartered onion into the cavity of the chicken. Give the cavity a little shake of salt and pepper.-Rub the softened butter over the skin of the chicken. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.-Place the chicken in a large open roasting pan, breast side down.-Peel and cut up the potatoes, toss them with the oil, and season them with salt and pepper, oregano and thyme.-Add the seasoned potatoes along with any oil, around the chicken in the roasting pan. Carefully pour 2/3 cup of water into one end of the pan,not over the potatoes.-Roast the chicken and potatoes for 25 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. and now turn the chicken over to be breastside up. Turn the potatoes and sprinkle them with half of the combined sage and thyme leaves chopped.-Baste the chicken and potatoes with the juices forming in the pan.-Continue to roast the chicken and potatoes for one hour, or until the chicken is cooked. To test, pierce the chicken with a sharp knife, if thejuices run clear, the chicken is done.-If the liquid in the pan evaporates, add a little more water.-Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes, then carve.Meanwhile,keep the potaoes warm in the oven.-Serve the potatoes and chicken on a pretty platter and garnishwith the remaining chopped thyme and sage leaves. Enjoy!

SEEKING THE ARTS . SEEKING THE ARTS Focus Art Juried Art ShowThis past weekend Focus Art hostedfor the 8th year running it’s JuriedArt exhibition open to all area artistwhether you are a member of FocusArt or not. This is a greatopportunity for the artists to show

off their stuff and have a chance to win alittle prize money. It is a scary processentering into a juried show as theone factor that is unknown is“How do I measure up to thecompetition?”. For the most partthe area talent pool is a good oneand the toughest part of theJuror’s job is to eliminate several ofthe entries as we always havemore entries than we have placesto hang them.

Each artist must look at this as aunique opportunity to see whereexactly the bar is set and wherethey need to go to movethemselves up the ladder to thewinners circle. Of course this is onlyas valuable as the knowledge the juror of the show has on whatconstitutes good or bad art. For the most part the people who juryart exhibitions are educators and artists themselves whounderstand what is required to be first show worthy and secondly aprize winner. Sometimes this is not the case and this can lead to ashow that lacks continuity on the part of the viewer and the artiststhemselves whether this is real or imagined.

It was for this reason I encouraged the Board of Directors of FocusArt several years back to adopt a method of Jury process that I wasable to see in action while showing down in the USA. The conceptis a bit radical for some but it is the best thing that can happen forthe artist and that is the Open Jury Process. This simply means the artists are presentwhile the Juror goes through the artwork and speaks to the audience as he/she critiques the work. Through this process the artist learn thattechnical skill is only one part and not the most important if all the other elements of design are strong enough to hold it together.

I would also like to explain what a critique is. A critique is not a criticism. A critique is an overview of what is and what is not working to satisfy theelements of design. These elements are what makes a strong painting, photograph or sculpture and thankfully has nothing to do with beauty orsubject.

Over the past several years Focus Art hasbeen able to benefit from this unique form ofJurying, I can see it every year as the work ofthe members becomes stronger and moredynamic that the year before.

So here is Koodo’s to you Focus Art and it’smembers for being willing to break awayfrom the pack in this exciting way to JuryArtwork and especially to the Members and

all those that entered the show whether they madethe cut or not as it takes a brave soul to show theworld your heart and soul and risk it all to be seen.

The current show is now on at the Cornwall regionalLibrary until November 9th, 2012 please take the timeto come and see the world as the local and regionalartists of our area see it.

The Open Jury Processby Sandra Taylor Hedges

This year’s juror Bernard Poulin specializes ininternationally, in corporate and private portraitureas well as commissioned exhibitions; is the authorof 9 books on drawing and creativity; he is aneducator and is a recognized international juror.Mr. Poulin was through his professional relationshipwith President of Focus Art asked to serve as ourjuror this year which he accepted with enthusiasm.Helping artists discover their full potential is oneof his personal passions. This was truly evident aswe watched how excited he was over the artworkand eager to share his wealth of knowledge.

The room was alive with energy as the artistsfocused all their attention on the information withregard to the various pieces submitted and whatwas both successful and not so successful abouttheir offerings. The time passed all too quicklyand we were left with wishing we had more timeto ask questions to help us understand morefully what was being shared with us.

The Language of Art

The language of art is tricky. It’s terrifying to eventhink about when there are trained expertseverywhere. But don’t you ever just look atsomething and feel its beauty? To talk about itshould be as easy as the feeling you get whenyou see it. I think I first learned to talk about art

through doing it; but not everyone is able to do that. My brain isvery language-based. I write and that’s my comfort zone. It may not beyours. So is it possible to develop the ability to explain what you likeand dislike about art, if it doesn’t come naturally?

The real question is – do we need to? From an educator’s perspective, Ireally believe that we do. The 21st Century is what I think of as theCritical Thinking Century. It’s all about deciphering the hiddenmessages encoded in advertising, films and movies, music and in howpeople talk around us. The Internet is full of hidden and incorrectmessages. Learning - especially at a young age - to talk about what yousee, and to think out loud about what you see, really is an importantpart of the world.

To help foster a language for arts, don’t worry about technical terms. Itreally doesn’t matter if you can label what you see as “balance” or as“negative and positive space.” That will come later, but really isn’tnecessary in talking about what you like and what you think is no good.You see, it’s fine to say that something is great or that something sucks,but it’s worthless without a reason. Even at very young ages, kids canstart to form opinions. Ask them to tell you about the art they see,rather than if they like it, or why. That’s too narrow. “What do you see?”will open up a whole other narrative. This is where discussion happens.And if they don’t see what you do, especially in the beginning, bite yourtongue. Ask them to tell you more, instead of correcting them to yourown version.

Take them places where there is art. Locally, you could visit CRAG, or theCornwall Public Library where art is displayed in the entrance hallway.Take a trip to Ottawa to the National Gallery once a year.Visit local events where artists might be showing their work. Explore arange of arts at Le Tot Spot & Little Shop (on 2nd Street), where kids 0-5are exposed to creativity and arts with amazing art leaders! If you can’tget out of the house, go online – visit the websites of your favouriteillustrators, or do a Google search for famous artists. You probably havean impressive gallery in front of you already – your child’s book

collection. Most kid’s books are about 32 pages long, with almost that manypieces of art. Look at just one page and focus on it as art, rather than as “just anillustration" (as we so often overlook them).

Pick a painting a week to look at and talk about. It doesn’t need to be exhaustive– just get the conversation going. If your child is too young to talk, it’s okay!They can still look – and are most receptive and open to art now. All they wantto do is take it in. If your child likes tractors, find paintings and drawings oftractors, and point out the colours. If your child likes fairies, find fairy artworkand explore it together, pointing out how small or big they are. Act out the art.

The language of art doesn’t need to be tricky. Make it a conversation, not anessay or a college dissertation, and you’ll find that through looking closely at art,and talking about the possible stories inside of each piece, you’ll end up lookingmore closely at everything.

River Kings preview Many Cornwall hockey fans were cautiously curious aboutthe River Kings this fall, as the team prepared for its firstseason in the LNAH. Locals wondered what type of hockey to expect and so far,after two exhibition home games, a total of more than3,500 fans have come to the Ed Lumley Arena.

Now, the home opener is finally here. After a 2-3-0 pre-season, Cornwall plays host to Trois-Rivieres this Saturday

night at the Civic Complex. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

As someone who has watched the summer skates, training camp and theexhibition games, it’s already quite clear to me that this circuit is a big step up fromthe old Quebec AA league the Comets took part in. In fact, after this weekend, Ithink the Comets references will finally stop. This isn’t a circus act; there’s quite a bitof talent in this league.

To me, the beauty about this product and particularly this team is that there reallyis something for everyone here.

You want to see speed and talent? Check out linemates Pierre-Luc Faubert andShawn Collymore up front. Faubert, who scored 19 goals and added 25 assists lastyear for Chicago in the ECHL, led the River Kings with five points in the pre-season.The talented Collymore, who spent last season in The Netherlands, was a 5th rounddraft pick of the New York Rangers and will be a part of many highlight reel goalsthis season.

If you like to watch high-end talent put their skills on display, watch out fordefenceman Sasha Pokulok, a former NHL first round draft pick. You’ll love howeasy Pokulok makes the game look with his quiet confidence and patience on theblueline. And in the crease is Loic Lacasse, a character off the ice, who was a draftpick of the Montreal Canadiens. The big goaltender has played in the IHL, ECHL and

AHL. In fact, he was 6-1-0 with a 2.07 GAA with the Hamilton Bulldogs in 2008-09.

Do you enjoy a hard-hitting affair? You’ll love veteran Steve Simoes and gritty newcomerAnthony Pittarelli. These two role players won’t take a shift off and will always finished theirchecks. And as the showcased in pre-season action, they can put the puck in the net, too.Enjoy a good scrap do you? Well that’ll be covered too, although not to the extent of whatlocals saw last time senior Quebec hockey was in town. But with Francis Lessard andDannick Lessard up front, as well as Mario Joly on defence, Cornwall won’t be pushedaround by any means.

Francis Lessard hasn’t played in any pro league other than the NHL or AHL. In 115 games withthe Ottawa Senators and Atlanta Thrashers, Lessard picked up 346 penalty minutes. DannickLessard (no relation) is a veteran of the LNAH and is approaching 500 career fights. Joly, is abig tough defenceman who will also chip in on the score sheet. Last season with the WindsorWild, he had 149 penalty minutes in 44 games, while chipping in 28 points. Not bad from theblueline.

There are even a few Colts connections for local junior fans. Of course, you’ll remember coachAl Wagar and his style of hockey, which promises a hard-working club and usually a winningone at that. To his right on the bench will be long-time assistant Mike Ruest. Then there’sformer Colts sniper Eric Meloche, who led Cornwall to CJHL titles in 1995 and 1996. Andformer captain Darcy Findlay will make his semi-pro debut, fresh off his four-year stint atBemidji State University.

As far as local talent goes, there’s agood mix of that as well. Long Sault’sBrennan Barker, Williamstown’sJonathan Jasper and Cardinal’s RyanSullivan will all patrol the River Kingsblueline. All three have local juniorties: Barker played for the BrockvilleBraves; Jasper for the Cornwall Coltsand Sullivan for the PembrokeLumber Kings.The wait is finally over, the LNAH hasarrived and beginning this weekend,Cornwall will be treated to a greatproduct on the ice.

NOTES: The River Kings have addedanother offensive weapon up front,coming to terms with Alex Bourret, a 26-year-oldforward who split time last season in the CHL and AHL.Bourret was drafted 16th overall by Atlanta in the 2005NHL entry draft (only two positions after Pokulok wasselected by Washington). In 176 career AHL games withChicago, Hartford, San Antonio and Worcester, Bourretscored 28 goals and 72 assists for 100 points. He also added 184 penalty minutes.Follow me on Twitter: @piperspoints [email protected]

Dear Joe,

I have stair problems. Ihave two sets of stairson my house, one onthe front porch andone to the back deck.The ones on the front

porch are rotting and arequickly becoming dangerous, and the ones on the back werereplaced a couple years ago by my brother-in-law. A handyman heis not, and I nearly break my neck every time I walk down them. Ineed to have both of these issues fixed before someone (ie. Me),gets hurt. My husband and I have very limited knowledge ofcarpentry and only basic tools. Can you give me some pointers onhow to properly build a set of stairs? Thank you, we love to read your column every week.Cheryl

Thank you so much Cheryl for your question and for reading every week.

Honestly, you couldn’t have chosen a more advanced project for you first foray into the world of home renovations. Stairs - though they do not requirea whole truckload of tools to build - do require a couple of specialized hand tools and a strong understanding of geometry, math, and building codeswhich will give you the threshold of acceptable dimensions for your finished project.

To build a set of stairs you will require a circular saw, jigsaw or handsaw, 48-inch level, tape measure, a 24-inch framing square, stair gauges (optional, butvery handy if you’re doing lots of stairs), and a hammer and nails, or screws and driver.

First thing is to rip out the old. Take out all your frustrations and let ‘em have it. Get it out of your system because the rest of this project will requireconcentration, patience and attention to detail. Once you have the old ones cleared out, cleaned up and the site levelled, you’ll want to sink some 18-inch patio stones into the ground level and flush with the grade of the soil. Now, resting the level on the floor of the deck, hold it so it’s level, and measurefrom the patio stone base to the bottom of the level which represents the top of the floor. This is the total rise of the stair case. Now, here comes the math,

are you ready? Take the total rise and divide it by seven. Seven is the median rise allowed by the building code and is the most comfortable rise for the averagehuman stride. Now take that number and divide it into your total rise. This will generally give you a number that is accompanied by a fraction. If it is larger than ahalf, round up. Smaller, round down. This is the total number of steps. Now, take your new rounded number and divide it into your total rise. This will give you a newnumber that is also accompanied by a fraction. This is your stair rise. Now for the run or tread; for exterior stairs I typically allow ten inches. Two 2x6s work well fortreads. This gives you eleven inches; ten inches of run plus one inch of stair nosing. So when we set up our stair gauges on our framing square, we set one at teninches on the long leg of the square, and the other at the number and fraction that we calculated earlier. Lying flat a pressure-treated 2x12, lay your square on theboard with the gauges tight against the edge of the board, this will triangulate the cut-out of the stringer. From the tip of one step, align your stair gauge with thatpoint and mark your second step. Repeat for the total number of steps as you calculated earlier. Now cut out the marked stringer removing an additional amountfrom the bottom of the stringer equal to the thickness of the material you will use for the treads. Once you have cut one, test-fit it in the final location and if it checksout, trace it for as many stringers you need - no less than 32 inches apart - and cut them out as well. Now all youhave to do is cut the treads to the desired width and assemble your new staircase.

Now admittedly, this is an over-simplified explanation of a fairly complex procedure, and if you’ve never doneanything like it before, probably a tad hard to follow. Don’t feel bad, there are a lot of “carpenters” - I mean people- who make a living building things for folks who don’t know how to properly lay out a stair stringer. If you haveany doubts, look up a reputable carpenter or stair builder to give you a hand; a good guy won’t mind giving yousome assistance even if you want to do most of the work yourself. Give him a coffee, or better yet a beer on ahot day and you’ve got a friend forever. Thanks for reading, Joe

A weekly look at racing from bothsides of the 1000 IslandsWith the 1000 Islands RV DIRTcar Northeast Fall NationalsWeekend at Brockville Speedway now in the record booksfor another year, this signifies the end of the racing seasonin our area. It has been a fantastic season for many localtracks, with minimal rainouts at most area Speedways.The only blemish on an otherwise perfect season at

Brockville came this past Sunday, as day three of the Fall Nationals hadto be cancelled due to steady rainfall.

Friday night’s portion of the 1000 Islands RV DIRTcar Northeast Fall Nationalsconsisted of the final race in the Go Nuclear Late Model Challenge Series of 2012,as well as the final race in the DIRTcar Pro Stock Series. Dale Caswell entered thenight with a comfortable lead in the Go Nuclear point standings and he solidifiedhis championship with a feature win. Adam Turner, a former 358 Modified,Sportsman and Street Stock competitor at Brockville finished second, with AJKingsley, Mark Rayner and Matt Vanderlinden completing the top five. In the ProStock Series finale, it was Stephane Lebrun taking the feature win, with JoeyLadouceur claiming his second consecutive Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock title with hissecond place finish. George Renaud finished third, with Dave Seguin andRichard Bertrand rounding out the top five positions on a very cold night at theBOS.

The action in the 1000 Islands RV DIRTcar Northeast Fall Nationals continued onSaturday afternoon with the 358 Modified Mr. DIRTcar Series race, and an open360 Sprint Car event also on the schedule along with the TUSA Mod Lite Series.Danny Johnson came out on top of the 358 Modified Series race. Several late-race cautions slowed the field as tire wear played a major role in the outcome

of the race. Johnson crossed the finish line ahead of Billy Dunn, who has had aphenomenal season in both the 358 Modified owned by Laurent Ladouceur, and his ownBig Block Modified. Joel Doiron had nothing left on his right rear tire by the end of therace, but he drove a great race and finished with a solid third place run. BrockvilleSpeedway regulars Kyle Dingwall and Dale Planck rounded out the top five positions.Steve Poirier had a slow start to his 2012 season after having knee surgery due to asnowmobile racing crash over the off-season, but he came back strong a few weeks ago, and ended his season with a win in the360 Sprint Car Open. Bryan Howland, Jason Barney, Michel Parent and Justin Barger rounded out the top five of an impressive field of 31 sprint cars on hand. DerekWagner won the Mod Lite main event over Josh Sliter and Bryan Green.

Saturday ended up being a great day at the BOS, but the forecast for Sunday did not look favorable at all. In fact, just as the Mod Lite feature had ended to close outthe day’s events, a few raindrops began to hit the track, and a couple hours later heavy rain settledin. The decision was made to cancel the program very early on Sundaymorning.

Dale Planck was the champion of the Mr. DIRTcar 358 Modified Series, CodyMcPherson won the Mr. DIRTcar Sportsman Series title while Joey Ladouceurclaimed his second consecutive and third overall Mr. DIRTcar Pro StockChampionship in what may be his final season in that division.

While the 2012 season is over locally, many teams will travel to Middletown,New York this coming weekend for their annual Eastern States Weekend. Thefollowing weekend Five Mile Point near Binghamton, New York will be inaction. The 2012 season will conclude in Charlotte, North Carolina onNovember 1st, 2nd and 3rd as the Big Block Modifieds, World of Outlaw SprintCars and World of Outlaw Late Models participate in the World Finals.
