Pro boxing returns to the Ed Lumley Arena Feb 23rd.
Cornwall’s own Tony Luis vs Mexican born Juan Martinez head the
featured title bout.
The Ontario Cheerleading Federation held its Winter Blast
Competition recently, also in the Ed Lumley Arena. This event brought
in 50 teams and 500 – 600 competitors into the city Feb 9th. This is
the 2nd year Cornwall has hosted this event.
Hosting and organizing a major event is no small task. This
task is made easier by the co-operative, professional, and positive
attitudes of our local city representatives who assist organizers. Kudos
to Janice Robinson, (Facilities Rental Coordinator) Lorne Taillon,
(Leisure Arts Coordinator), and Kevin Lajoie, (Tourism Coordinator)
on a job well done each day.

Loreen Toutant
Loreen was born in Belleville, Ontario, however her
family moved frequently while her dad worked in
many positions for the Canadian Railroad. Loreen
and her sister, Betty, now call Cornwall their home.
Loreen played many sports during her early life
including women’s hockey in Toronto where she
played against Canadian Olympian Abby Hoffman,
baseball (first base), golf, and biking.
When she stopped smoking she started to compete in
bicycle road races. Loreen would bike from Good
Friday to the first snowfall. She won three gold
medals in Saskatchewan for road race, criterium, and time-race. She believes she biked about
10,000 km before she broke her leg and lost her opportunity to represent Canada at the World
Masters’ Bike race in Melbourne, Australia.
Around the age of forty-five, Loreen changed her life’s direction. She was living in Toronto.
She sold her worldly goods and started to travel across Canada ending up in Vancouver for many
years. She had been introduced to the game of pool during this time; a game of strategy that she
began to love. Every opportunity that presented itself, Loreen would compete from Quebec to
Newmarket to Vegas to the Grand Bahamas. During this time while she was improving her game
she was also studying and being tested on Canadian and American Pool rules. Loreen has attained
five Canadian and American Referee Tickets.
District 8 Board members, Marie Beckstead and Marlene Neal, introduced Ontario Senior Games
to Loreen. She is now the District 8 Board Secretary and the Summer Events Convenor for Pool
at Rack’ Em Up Billiards. She credits Rack ‘Em Up owners, Doug Disotell and Amanda Collins,
for their promotion of billiards in Cornwall. In the future, Loreen would like to introduce 8 Ball
Express to our 55+ players to make their game shorter and more interesting. We now have 8
and 9 Ball OSGA Summer competitions. Watch for our District 8 Summer Events Schedule for
time and dates for all our fun events. The gold medal winners of these events will be eligible to
compete in the Regional Games in Carleton Place in August. For more information on O.S.G.A.
