Madill SecondarySchool and former Brussels resident was the recipient of a prestigious scholarship presented recently in Toronto. Aaron Richmond received the Future Aces Foundation award from Herb Carnegie. He was selected for the honour based on his contribution to his community, school involvement and academics. Rita Rice Bowers represented Madill in presenting the award to Richmond, who will be attending Redeemer University in Ancaster this September. It was due to discimination that Carnegie, 87, devoted his life to activating change in communities for all young people. As a star hockey player in the 1940s, Carnegie played semi-professional hockey with the Sherbrooke Saints and was three times voted the most valuable player. However, his ambition to become a professional was not fulfilled as the unwritten code of the National Hockey League denied Carnegie a tryout in the NHL due to his race. He went on to become the founder of the first hockey school in Canada and continues to sponsor many leadership events. Well done Herb Carnegie presented his Aces Award to former Brussels resident Aaron Richmond in Toronto recently. Richmond, who will be attending Redeemer University in Ancaster this September is graduating from F.E. Madill Secondary School. He received the award based on his contribution to community, school involvement and academics.

It is held annually since, usually on the first Sunday in July. “Ball’s Cemetery board is very pleased with how well it has been kept over the years as it remains a private cemetery,” said Daryl Ball. “The cemetery requires private donations to keep it looking good for generations to come.” Monies come from donations and memorials. All donations of $1,000 or more will be recognized on a plaque in the church. Ball’s Church was used recently for a baptism and a funeral.
