Stony Mountain inmate, 80, dies
A Stony Mountain Institution inmate died of apparent natural causes while in custody Saturday, the Correctional Service of Canada said. Gordon Kornelson, 80, was sentenced to four years on May 5. The Carillon newspaper in Steinbach reported in April that he had pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a relative for eight years starting when she was about four years old, between Jan. 1, 2012 and Jan. 31, 2020. The abuse ended when the COVID-19 pandemic prevented her visits to Kornelson's home, the Carillon reported. The girl's mother reported the crime in June 2022 after her daughter told her what had happened. Judge Kael McKenzie granted the victim's request that there be no publication ban in the case and called the sentence low. The defence, pointing to Kornelson's declining health, had asked for his sentence to be served under house arrest. Kornelson worked as a loans manager at Steinbach Credit Union for 29 years until 1995, court documents stated, and then worked as an accountant. He served on the board of the Steinbach Mennonite Central Committee Thrift Shop from 1974 to 2019. An online obituary stated Kornelson was formerly a longtime Hanover School Division trustee and that he died in a Winnipeg hospital. DAVE BAXTER / CARILLON FILES

How Miami Beach clubs and Coral Gables landmarks looked decades ago
South Florida How Miami Beach clubs and Coral Gables landmarks looked decades ago This collection of stories shows how Miami Beach clubs and Coral Gables landmarks appeared decades ago through old photographs. You can see scenes from the Latin Quarter nightclub where bands played and the old movie theaters in downtown Hollywood that are now gone. The Place Pigalle featured comedians and South Beach had many nightspots in the 1990s. You will also find details about the Giller Building on 41st Street and Carrollton School in Coconut Grove. Miracle Mile in Coral Gables and the Barnacle, designed by Commodore Munroe, also appear. Street scenes from the business districts and parades in Coral Gables give more glimpses into the past. See the pictures and read about them below. In 1970, Hans Reiss,maitre d' at the Carillon Hotel in Miami Beach, has pleasant memories as he looks back on the revues and stars appearing in the hotel's Le Cafe supper Club. The Carillon nightspot was known as the Club Siam when it opened in February 1958, featuring such weekly changing entertainers as the Ames Brothers and Andrews Sisters. The name was changed to Cafe Le Can Can in 1959 and, for several years, the Carillon's executive director, Herb Robins, brought in top-flight revues produced by Lou Walters, who was Barbara Walters' father. Because the public wanted something more modern, the Carillon launched another new trend in Miami Beach entertainment with 'Shazzam,' offering the entire family comedy and spectacular illusions blended into colorful production numbers.

Miami used to look like that? See old nightclubs, restaurants and stores
South Florida Miami used to look like that? See old nightclubs, restaurants and stores In Miami's past, icons like Lums served beer-steamed hot dogs while shoppers strolled Flagler Street and high-energy clubs packed South Beach. Bayside Marketplace and CocoWalk helped shift the city's social scene, drawing crowds with dining, music, and shopping. Photos show how department stores, classic clubs like the Latin Quarter, and mom-and-pop businesses defined neighborhoods before towers and chain stores moved in. Lums, once a mainstay with its signature hot dogs and bright red roof, brings back memories of simpler lunches and neighborhood gathering spots. Looking back at old clubs, restaurants and retail hubs certainly brings back the old feelings we either remember or heard about.

Fort Ti opens its gates with deep dive into Revolution
TICONDEROGA — Fort Ticonderoga plans to open for the season with a bang on Saturday, May 3 as it explores the American Revolution. This year the fort will feature 'innovative story telling on a grand scale' with live weapons demonstrations, historic trades, daily soldiers' life programs, outdoor activities, and special events showcasing the Revolution. Fort Ticonderoga and Mount Defiance will open Saturday, May 3 from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. It will be open Tuesday-Sunday until Oct. 26. The new 2025 exhibition is 'Subjects, Citizens, Service,' focusing on the armies and people of the American Revolution. The fort says that will offer 'a deep dive into the world of the Revolution.' The exhibit will feature various themes, showcasing hundreds of artifacts, including items from the Robert Nittolo Collection that was acquired by the fort, many on display for the first time. 'As a leader in delivering a premium historic destination experience, we are thrilled to welcome visitors back to Fort Ticonderoga for the daily visitation Campaign Season, building family memories, fostering enjoyment in our site's beauty, and inspiring visitors to discover the power of the past and its meaning to us today,' said Beth Hill, Fort Ticonderoga president and CEO in a release. 'Our daily programs bring to life our nation's founding history and the many signature stories that unfolded here through new interactive programs and world-class museum exhibits, boat tours aboard the Carillon, living history events, special programs, lush historic gardens, Mount Defiance tours, hands-on family activities, and a lot more.' The King's Garden at the fort is a historic garden with friendly animals like sheep. 'We have a new garden designed especially for children,' Hill said. ' There are heritage breed animals, including an oxen duo, Mick and Mack. There are sheep grazing on uneven terrain as part of our stewardship of this historic landscape.' From May 9 to 11, the fort is hosting 'No Quarter' to commemorate the 250th anniversary of America's First Victory in the American Revolution with a real-time reenactment of the Green Mountain Boys' boat assault from Vermont, culminating in the capture of Fort Ticonderoga by Ethan Allen. Visitors are encouraged to purchase tickets online in advance by visiting or they can be purchased the day of a visit at the admission booth on the entrance road.
