He’s a regular on a local radio station covering sports, as well as a sports columnist in newspaper, but his passion is history; especially local history that led to him spending nearly three years to complete his book:   Constable Davey; A Future Lost which is available locally and online via his website:   www.Thomracine.com

I had a chance to catch up and chat with Mr. Racine at Island Ink Jet over a sampling of Kopi Luwak Coffee!  Here is the video which you can crank up to 1080 DPI for best viewing quality!

As his days with badge and gun come to an end it should be interesting to see what’s in store for this Cornwallite….

CFN – The Glass Blowing Place & Chillax Café had its grand opening Saturday, 19 May and Liberal MPP (Glengarry–Prescott–Russell) Grant Crack was there to cut the ribbon, glass ribbon that is.

Here you can see the process that the glass blowers went through to get this glass ribbon.

In the front of the glass blowing studio is a café and retail store where you can purchase some of the wonderful glass art produced there as well as other art produced by local artists. You can come in and have a cup of fresh roasted coffee, study the glass artistry and even observe the glass blowers at work. Courses in glass blowing are available on site if you want to try your hand at handling molten glass.

In the picture below you can see Chris Van Zanten, Heinz Kaswurm (a non-glass blowing partner), MPP Grant Crack, Eric Covington, Gian Paolo BAstianello and David Paterson hamming it up for the camera.
