Beer, Bourbon, BBQ and Blues sees big turnout Shawna O’Neill

shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – Alcohol enthusiasts from across the region showed up in large numbers at the Nav Centre for the second annual Beer, Bourbon, BBQ and Blues festival on Saturday, July 13.

With over 2,500 tickets sold and many purchasing tickets at the entrance, the festival is estimated to have reached its approximate capacity of 3,000. Many attendees contended that the festival is one of Cornwall’s summer staple events.

This year’s extravaganza featured over 20 breweries, 10 distilleries and various wineries and cideries. The festival also had mouthwatering Canadian, Texas and Carolina BBQ style goods, provided by Nav Centre chef Luc McCabe and local grill master Matt Drouin.

Paul Deslauriers Band and Juno Awardwinning Monkey Junk serenaded the crowd as they mingled with friendly faces and met others from 2 p.m. onwards. Crowds were still swarming booths around 8:30 p.m. at the time in which the festival was to shut down.

Upon purchasing a ticket for $15, all

attendees were given a special drinking mug to fill as many times as they wished and take home as a souvenir. Special event chips could be purchased for $3 each, and each alcohol booth would require one chip for each sample.

Games like cornhole and beer pong were played by many, making for an interactive summer party with various options of entertainment for attendees.

Local safety, well-being plan discussed among Vibrant Communities early 2018, prior to the province legislating a mandatory implementation of a Community and Safety Well-being Plan in each municipality. Having already started the process, Vibrant Communities has stepped up to take on the assessment process, as the initiative’s goals align perfectly with the intention of the provincial planning.

“We’ve got history…with Vibrant Communities, anybody is welcome to join, and we have a list of 200 people from across the region, from all kinds of backgrounds, who are…committed to being a part of this. So, we already have this group of people who are ready to see this through, so that’s the benefit here,” said Hébert. “Where other municipalities will likely hire a consultant to do this plan, and then council will have to figure out what to do with it…we are not leaving this in council’s hands…it will be Vibrant Communities’ mandate to implement this, of course ideally with the support of our municipalities. We don’t want to depend on governments, we want to have the

CORNWALL, Ontario – Poverty and mental health in our community were two main priorities discussed at the Cornwall Civic Complex on Wednesday, July 10 among members of the public and Vibrant Communities, an initiative of the Social Development Council (SDC) of Cornwall and Area.

The focus group of about 100 individuals (some attending via webcam) met to brainstorm strategies to improve local safety and well-being, with intentions of informing a comprehensive plan that will serve the region of Cornwall, SDG and Akwesasne. The plan is set to be presented to municipalities and stakeholders in the region by March of 2020.

Carilyne Hébert, Executive Director of the SDC, said the plan will take a proactive approach and specifically prioritize mental health, poverty, health services and community safety. The goal of the

focus group was to begin the process of discussion and identifying core issues, as well as beginning to brainstorm possible solutions to these issues.

Over the summer, Vibrant Communities will attend county fairs, libraries and malls throughout the region in an effort to gain the feedback of at least 700 locals. The initiative is aiming to garner as much public engagement and data as possible to better inform how to prioritize services and offer innovative solutions.

“We are looking to get beyond supporting people when they are in need, we want to prevent them from having to rely on those services,” said Hébert. “When the action plan is implemented, we likely won’t see results for years, because the nature of it…maybe in 10 years, we will see a poverty reduction of 2 per cent in the region, and that’s a win because that’s 600 (more) people in our community that would be living above the poverty line (for example).”

whole community involved…(although) funding is very important and collective impact assessments are very successful.”

Hébert said that mental health was the standout topic of the focus group as it predominately impacts the other main priorities. She said that working towards better programming for each priority might involve practices as easy as having organizations work together on certain projects, developing more tangible resource lists and introducing slight policy adjustments.

During one brainstorming session of the mental health focus group, one team expressed their idea of including risk prevention strategies in schools and community organizations, as well as more education about mental health conditions and early risk assessment/screening.

Hébert said a list of where the Vibrant Communities will set up this summer to get public feedback will be made available on the SDC website and Facebook soon.

Forks out for Food Fest fun Shawna O’Neill

shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – Food Fest supporters officially nailed their announcement sign into the ground at Pommier Square on Tuesday, July 9, hyping up the public for Beyond 21’s largest annual fundraiser.

Mexican and Jamaican food, pad Thai, Asian tacos, poutine, beaver tails and bacon are just some of the options that can be expected on Saturday, Aug. 17. Admission into the festivities will cost $2, which equates to supporting one week of service at Beyond 21. The organization, which focuses on supporting adults with developmental disabilities, does not receive government funding, apart from program grants that are applied for and approved.

“People don’t (recognize adults with developmental disabilities). They often go about their lives and don’t interact with them. They’re a huge part of our community so we wanted something that celebrates a community and takes a community in order to achieve, and that’s what this event does,” said Executive Director Jane McLaren, who emphasized that community efforts are

fundamental in supporting the dreams of locals who rely on Beyond 21 services.

McLaren is happy that Food Fest constantly gains recognition and involvement. This year will see four new food vendors to make for 15 different options (including 14 with vegetarian options), as well as eight new artisans to contribute to a multitude of local goods available. The Kinsmen Family Zone will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. where children can participate in a Kid Fitness program, test out different musical instruments and get their face painted, among many other activities.

Live entertainment will also take place at two locations (Pitt St. at First St. and Pitt St. at Third St.) from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Additional events like a car show, canine obedience displays and a new Pumper Truck Pull will also keep attendees entertained.

McLaren said that Beyond 21’s new location at 1924 Pitt St. is on track with what was expected and is slowly being renovated. The organization’s capital campaign has reached about a third of the overall goal of $750k. McLaren is looking forward to having a facility that will host programs for adults with developmental disabilities but also

Food Fest has already caused a stir on social media in regards to organizers incorporating a

bacon truck this year. A group of protesters are set to express their opinions at the event. McLaren respect’s the protesters opinons and their rights according to City bylaws and said that vendors are encouraged to offer vegetarian options each year.

Cornwall water system receives perfect score

CORNWALL, Ontario – For the 11th year in a row, the Cornwall water system has received a perfect score from the Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks.

The annual inspection focused on the water sampling processes, and the maintenance of

Cornwall’s water system. Inspectors reviewed Cornwall’s certification requirements, equipment calibration, and reviewed the documentation of the operation of the water distribution system from over the past year.

“Our highly trained and dedicated staff are continuously monitoring our drinking water to ensure the safety and quality of the water for all residents and businesses,” said Owen O’Keefe,

Water Purification Plant Supervisor.

Cornwall’s water is monitored constantly to ensure that chlorine levels are safe. On a weekly basis, water is sampled from different areas of the City and sent to a third party lab to test for bacteria and is tested for nitrate and Trihalomethanes (THMs) quarterly. According to O’Keefe, all of these tests show that Cornwall’s water meets or exceeds the provincial standard. Cornwall’s water

comes through Lake St. Lawrence and 11 million cubic metres of fresh water is pumped through the system annually though over 278 kilometres of watermain pipes.

“Our water system is a critical piece of infrastructure and we take great pride in having achieved a perfect inspection rating for 11 consecutive years,” said Shawn O’Brien, Water and Sewer Supervisor.

Marathoner Cathy MacLean born to run - Glengarry Sports Hall of Fame Inductee Provided by the Glengarry Sports Hall of Fame It is difficult to describe exactly what drives Alexandria’s Cathy MacLean to run, and maybe this is the beauty of her story. Nonchalantly, Cathy will say that she needs to run. This need sees Cathy achieve elite running results both within and outside the Glengarry community.

Her running accomplishments will be formally recognized during her induction into the Glengarry Sports Hall of Fame next month.

Cathy grew up on the family farm in Bainsville and is the daughter of the late Ambrose and Ann (nee O’Connor) MacLean. Cathy recalls that after a work day of milking and chores, she would take the time to exercise on the family lawn. It wasn’t until she was in her late 40s and after her family had grown up and left home, that she began to

run consistently and participate in local road races. She completed her first marathon a month short of her 50th birthday. Cathy shares that she runs for the pleasure of the experience and feels very fortunate to have achieved the race results that she has.

Woven throughout the 20 plus marathon races, Cathy has completed over 20 half marathons and too many to count 5 and 10 k races.

Since 2011, Cathy has been a regular participant at the Canada Army Run events held in Ottawa in September, generally running the half marathon event. The army run is an emotional event for Cathy as she races alongside many veterans, some in wheelchairs, and some with prosthetics.

In 2017, she finished first in her age group when she completed the special 100 Year Vimy Anniversary Challenge event.

As an aside from her running accomplishments, for the past 5 years Cathy has participated

in the Glengarry Sports Hall of Fame Polar Bear Dip fundraiser event. Since Cathy has retired as manager at the LCBO, she now volunteers with the Summerstown Friends of the Trails.

Cathy’s running achievements are truly remarkable. Her athletic ability speaks for itself, but it is her humility and unassuming character that are equally as endearing. Cathy takes in stride her running accomplishments, and feels blessed to have the unwavering support from her husband, her children Rebecca, Daryl and Kyra, and community friends. Cathy is one of those athletes who admirably doesn’t know how good she is. She doesn’t run for the prize; she runs because, as she quietly says, “I need to. It’s what I do.” Cathy is one of five inductees to be celebrated at the Glengarry Sports Hall of Fame Induction Dinner to take place at the Char-Lan Recreation Center in Williamstown on August 21.

Splashing into summer at diving competition Shawna O’Neill shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – Over 20 young locals showcased their skillful and freestyle dives at Reg Campbell Park on Saturday, July 13.

“It’s just a fun, friendly competition between our five outdoor pools,” said Lori Gibeau, Aquatic Coordinator with the City of Cornwall.

Gibeau explained that all competitors had registered and practiced every day for 45 minutes over the past two weeks leading up to the big div-

ing event.

“It introduces kids to different aquatic sports.

Not only does (the program) provide swimming skills but also a different means of a sport, and its a friendly competition. They also get to go see other pools in Cornwall,” said Gibeau.

Winners during the event will take home ribbons and goodie bags, filled with treats from a number of local sponsors.

The next sessions from July 15 to 26 will include synchronised swimming skill-building, with a

competition on July 27. From July 29 into August, young locals can practice their speed swimming, and meet at another competition next month.

To get involved in upcoming programming, speak to workers are your local outdoor pool or visit the Aquatic Centre.

Golfers Against Cystic Fibrosis remember Marc Belanger Shawna O’Neill shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – Local Marc Belanger is missed by many and remembered for a number of unique traits, especially his ability to tell amazing, detailed stories.

Known as a bit of an animated comedian, and a very reliable and supportive friend, Belanger was said to have a contagious energy — the walking embodiment of the life of the party. Belanger was always ready to go out and have fun, unless a hockey game was on — especially the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The seventh annual golf tournament in support of Cystic Fibrosis Canada will celebrate the life of Belanger, who lived with CF and passed away in 2013. Some good friends may use a 1 iron in place of a driver in his honour.

“The tournament is in celebration of Marc’s life and also to bring awareness of CF,” said Kim Baird, local Chapter Lead for CF Canada.

The tournament will be held on Sunday, July 28 at the Cornwall Golf and Country Club. With a shotgun start at 12:30 p.m. and a registration

fee of $100 per person, the event is expected to offer traditional fundraising fun as participants can also indulge in dinner and a silent auction in the evening. Baird is expecting at least 80 attendees this year as the event is continually growing and gaining support.

Baird said that one youth living with CF will be in attendance during the event. She said that individuals living with CF may face challenges during this time of year with heat and humidity, making it difficult for them to attend. She is expecting many friends and family members of those living with CF to show their continued support.

“Cystic Fibrosis Canada is one of the leading researchers in the world (for CF); every dollar helps,” said Baird, who believes the organization is on the brink of cutting edge care. “To get that one dollar difference is to find the cure, or an Marc Belanger and good friend Pat Larose enjoyed golfing together.

SVW raises funds through The Good Fight Shawna O’Neill shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – Over 200 audience members circulated through Seaway Valley Wrestling’s (SVW) The Good Fight on Saturday, July 13, according to organizer Al Allaire.

“It’s going exactly how we expected it to go today,” said Allaire with satisfaction.

With a total of 18 wrestlers competing in the ring at the Agora Catholic Centre, shouts of triumph and defeat could be heard from audience members from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. as attendees of all ages cheered on their favourite competitors.

Wrestlers showed their intense moves, smashing onto the floor of the ring at extreme speeds and strengths. They also shouted at other competitors, keeping the intensity high.

“As you can see there’s a lot of kids here; you can bring the whole family to the event…everybody loves wrestling, so its a show for everybody,” said Allaire, who is proud to spearhead

the only wrestling promotion in Cornwall.

Tickets to watch the show were $10 per person, and all proceeds raised will support a local organization for adults with developmental disabilities, Initiation a la vie Equipe Psycho-Sociale.

“We put on this show for Initiation a la vie Equipe Psycho-Sociale, all proceeds for tonight’s event will go directly to programming. From tickets, to wrestlers donating their working money tonight…it’s a great cause,” said Allaire, who explained that previous SVW events supported organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cornwall & SDG, as well as Rachel’s Kids House of Hope.

Local wrestler ‘Rexorion’ was happy to be involved in the fight, his fourth time in a SVW match. He is looking forward to the organization’s next upcoming event Detention at the Nav Centre on Sept. 14, which is expected to draw a large following.

It has been nearly five years since the last Lift Off festival in Cornwall. I remember going to many in my younger days and always being impressed with this great event organized for the enjoyment of the people of Cornwall by a dedicated team of volunteers.

For just $20 you got to see world class headlining acts like April Wine, Trooper and Our Lady Peace as well as there being great food, good company and of course a sky full of hot air balloons.

For 20 years, Lift Off was the event of the summer in Cornwall. It left fond and loving memories in the hearts of many and generated tourism and revenue for the City.

Lift Off will always have a warm place in my heart, but I do not however, mourn its loss for the simple reason that in many ways, the spirit, and legacy of Lift Off are still with us.

Like I said earlier, Lift Off was brought to the community by a dedicated team of loving volunteers, those volunteers are still with us, and they are still dedicated to their community. You can find them involved in either organizing, volunteering or promoting the now multitude of summer events that we have in this City every year.

Since Lift Off touched down for the last time, new events have come to Cornwall to take its place.

Before Lift Off left, there was no CAPE, there was no Ribfest, or Food Fest, or Whiskey Show or Beer Bourbon BBQ and Blues.

Each of those four events I just named attract thousands of people to Cornwall every year in their own rights, and thousands more in tourism dollars spent in Cornwall.

The absence of Lift Off has encouraged the ambitious volunteers who love Cornwall to try new things, whether they be fundraisers, or just fun.

I hear Bear Bourbon BBQ and Blues for example attracted more than 2,000 people to Cornwall in one afternoon this year. If food and drink aren’t to your taste, then you can always try your hand at comics and pop-culture in April at CAPE. There are still great opportunities for music lovers in Cornwall as well. Every week in Lamoureux Park there is Arts in the Park, where local artists can show off their talent.

Earlier this month, to kick off Canada Day weekend, Cornwall Tourism organized the first Cornwall Rocks festival which featured bands from around the region and beyond. There were well recognized acts which included tribute bands for the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

A friend told me that they loved Lift Off and to them, Lift Off meant summer. They remember biking around their neighbourhood and seeing the balloons rise up over the City, with the sound of stock cars roaring in the background. Those of us who were lucky enough to attend Lift Off, will always have those great memories and we will always be lucky for that, but the youth who never really knew Lift Off, will be lucky too. They will be lucky to have a whole summer full of blockbuster events to enjoy, and who knows what new event will appear in the future to try and take the mantle of “the next Lift Off”.

What do you think readers? What are some of your Lift Off memories?

Canoeing together is a marriage Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

Jesus taught using parables about seeds, shepherds, labourers, wine and foods. This week I don’t intend to teach, but I am going to share with you what I’ve learned about marriage. I didn’t get knowledge about marriage relationships from any book, movie or sermon. The idea came from paddling with lady friends, and watching this year’s Raisin River canoe race.

At times the water was rough, the boulders were many. The river takes a meandering 32 kilometers to get from St. Andrews to Williamstown. I watched intently to see how the successful paddlers, especially the mixed couples, conducted themselves.

There was no shouting, no negative comments, no backtalk from the bowman (the nautical term ‘bowman’ has nothing to do with gender) and no giving up (‘throwing in the paddle’ would be the equivalent to the boxing term, ‘throwing in the towel’). They were in it for the duration, with no thought of jumping ship. The successful couples worked with each other, never against each other. Some decisions were made with full agreement, but there seemed to be a few where it was acknowledged that there had to be one who

has to break a tie vote.

Let’s shift away from canoe-racing to canoe-tripping situations. Just as in life, it’s not a sprint, it’s a long haul, with lots of baggage to carry. Baggage comes with canoe tripping. It’s a burden, but when rain, hunger and cold come, the tent, the nourishing foods and the cozy sleeping bags you brought along are appreciated.

It’s the same in marriage. It’s nothing like an affair, unless it’s an affair that lasts a lifetime. Children may seem to be just baggage when it’s diaper-changing, teething, pottytraining, the terrible twos and the testing teen times. But children can be a blessing when they give hugs, do you proud, learn to say thank you - or are there to push your wheelchair.

When a new lady-friend and I canoe together for the first time, first impressions count; can we communicate? How long does it take to be at ease with each other? Can we laugh at each other’s mistakes?

If roles and positions need to be reversed, adjustments must be made. To re-establish the canoe’s proper trim, the load has to be adjusted to compensate. When a change in health, jobs, or a shift of home-making roles takes place, adjustments in the marriage, like in a canoe, have to be made. Rocks, rapids and shallows have to be dealt with together.

Otherwise, you’re up the creek without a paddle.

The late great Canadian newspaper columnist Allan Fotheringham (aka Dr. Foth) once lamented that the trouble with penning a column in the slow, lazy days of a Canadian summer there are days when there is more newsprint than news.

And so, we offering the following: Svend Robinson, the former NDP rising star who crashed and burned when a $25,000 diamond ring “accidentally” fell into his pocket in one of those the devil made me do it moments, is back on the federal stage.

Well, sort of.

He will seek to unseat a Liberal incumbent in Lotusland (British Columbia, Canada’s answer to California) in the October election derby.

This is Robinson’s second attempt to return to the House. In 2006 he finished far behind Liberal incumbent Hedy Fry who came up with one of the greatest fibs uttered in the House of Commons.

She claimed that crosses were being burned on lawns in Prince George, B.C. Later, after news outlets couldn’t find a single person in the city who knew of a cross-burning incident, she admitted it was a made-up story to embarrass the Conservatives.

Aside from that ring thing, Robinson made a name for himself when he heckled Ronald Reagan while the president of the Excited States of America was speaking in the House of Commons.

Class act that Svend. ********* Seems that climate change is not something that would keep most Canadians awake at night.

In poll carried out by the Broadbent

Institute only one in four Canadians listed climate change as a major concern, the kind that could keep them awake at night, while three in four said personal financial issues.

Two months later, in April, in a CBC poll 32 per cent said the cost of living was the biggest worry while 19 per cent said it was climate change.

At the end of the day, it comes down the pocket book. ********* The first sign of a transit system in financial trouble surfaced in July 1969, just about the time Apollo II was touching down on the moon.

The operators of Cornwall’s transit system, Cornwall Street Railway Light and Power Co., owned by the Sun Life Insurance Co., asked the city for a review of its contract to provide the service.

The company said the service carried 2,212,204 passengers in 1968, a decline of 203,363 from the previous year. This created a $150,000 deficit.

There had been a steady decline since the late 1950s.

However, the company assured the city that it had no plans to get out of the transit business (ya, sure), which it eventually did, passing the flickering torch to a small locally-owned company that struggled before the city took over the operation.

ALSO THIS WEEK IN 1969 A coroner’s jury looking into a series of crashes that killed four drivers on Highway 401 just east of the city recommended that the municipal dump in the area be shut down. Evidence given at the inquest by witnesses and police officers indicated that fog in the area was made worse by smoke from the nearby dump. An OPP officer said visibility had been reduced to about 10 feet. A total of 37 vehicles were involved the crashes. Evidence showed that some

CORNWALL, Ontario – Eric Duncan, Conservative candidate for the Stormont, Dundas and South Glengarry riding got some anonymous criticism about his appearance recently.

On his Facebook page, Duncan shared a picture of a letter he received, alongside a photo of himself, in which the letter writer decries Duncan’s un-kept (sic) look.

“As a longtime Conservative,” the letter reads.

“I am very disappointed in this “no shave” lazy

look. You are presenting yourself as one of the more un-kept (sic) segment of our society, that look will not make me feel confident in your ability to foster the support you need.”

Duncan took the criticism in stride it seems.

“We had another important campaign moment recently when I got my first anonymous reply card hate mail…someone doesn’t like my beard,” he wrote on the post. “If that’s your biggest issue with me and our campaign, then this “unkept segment of society” thinks we are doing OK. (Note: we received 100s of positive replies, donations, lawn signs requests, but we had a good laugh at this!) #MondayChuckles”

UNITED COUNTIES, Ontario – SDG County Councillors debated about the region’s winter road salt usage on Monday, July 15, before passing a motion that approved a $3.1 million tender.

The joint tender, issued by the City of Cornwall, includes the supply, delivery and loading of winter road coarse rock salt from Compass Minerals Canada Corp. for $105/tonne, based on an approximate requirement of 30,000 tonnes per season.

Mayor of South Stormont Bryan McGillis was quick to express his concerns with the product and price tag.

“I can’t support this motion with what the facts are here and the adverse effects of salt on our environment,” said Mayor McGillis.

Mayor McGillis, who expressed concern about the topic at a previous council meeting, said he had spoken with a number of public works employees who agreed that coarse rock salt is not the most environmentally friendly option and many tonnes go to waste each season, with the county more realistically utilizing between 20 and 24 tonnes rather than 30. The same sources also expressed to McGillis that the method in which the salt is distributed is not always efficient and there is a level of run-off that

does not stay on the roads.

In 2004, according to McGillis, the county spent less than half of today’s asking price, just above $1 million, for coarse rock salt. Mayor McGillis maintained that although excessive cost is something to consider, his main concern remains on long-term environmental impacts.

Ben De Haan, Director of Transportation and Planning Services, said that the County had not recorded exactly how much salt was used per season in several years and suggested that the inflation of pricing was a result of increased market demand for available supply.

Deputy Mayor of South Stormont David Smith, as well as Deputy Mayor of South Dundas Kirsten Gardner, agreed with McGillis’ concerns.

Deputy Mayor of North Dundas Allan Armstrong proposed passing the motion with the intent of planning better for next year and having a discussion about what product could be used in place of salt. Deputy Mayor of North Glengarry Carma Williams reminded Council that the issue of road salt could not be considered in a vacuum and that it may influence other road maintenance endeavors or machinery.

“The way we’re set up right now, we can’t not use (road salt)…not to sound dramatic but lives depend on it,” said De Haan, who agreed to reassess pricing and formula options for the 2020-2021 winter road maintenance season.

Family fun at OPG Shawna O’Neill shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – The third annual Family Fun Day at OPG, geared towards entertaining attendees of all ages, impressed many locals on Saturday, July 13, including Adam Pross.

Pross, who had never been to the St. Lawrence Power Development Visitor Centre before, said he saw the event discussed on his social media and was intrigued.

“We thought we would come down and check it out and it turned out to be a really exciting time for all the kids,” said Pross.

This year’s event was bigger and better than ever, with an entire field open for activities.

Children could take part in a petting and

feeding zoo with alpacas, pigs and more. Various art stations were also set up with bubble paintings and balloons available.

“We started with all the animals and then the bubbles. Then we walked down here to the museum and got a quick tour to see how the dam was put together and also how it all works now…and OPG makes energy,” explained Pross, who felt the facility was very educational and family friendly.

OPG is set to host more exciting and educational events throughout the summer while offering regular tours. The Centre archives the history of our region and its relationship with the St. Lawrence River, showcasing how fundamental the dam’s development was in shaping our community.

Shar’s Tip of the Week

On wooden cabinets, you want to take a gentler approach. To get off the tough stuff, wash around all the handles and any other grease zones first with a gentler degreaser. I recommend Dove dish soap. Than wash the entire cabinet with oil soap. Oil soap meaning vegetable oil soaps such as linseed(flaxseed), cottonseed or pine oil. This helps to keep wood finishes from drying out and can be buffed to a nice shine.

custom-made ‘UCWC’ earrings to represent the club, which was formed recently and has an intensive focus on competitive weightlifters.

Virtue is training diligently for upcoming competitions as she is required to compete in two before the Winter Games series, eyeing the national championships which will be held in Alberta in 2020. Virtue spends at least eight hours every week in the gym training, spread over three or four days. Soon she will turn 16 and move up to the youth division, where her competition may provide her with more challenge.

“There’s a little more fire in her, especially now, because she’s used to being the best at these competitions but with these new (age) classes coming up (16+) she has to show up a little bit more. Just last week she qualified for senior provincials and that’s (geared towards individuals aged) 21 to 35 I believe, and she’s 15…so that’s huge,” said Sergenese, who later clarified that all ages can compete in the senior provincials but must meet qualifying standards.

Virtue is continuously setting personal goals to break and hopes to keep rising through the ranks in the industry, surpassing one of her highest previous achievements of second in Canada in her age division.

“Every muscle in your body is targeted (during snatch and clean and jerk); it takes mobility, strength and focus, which Maleeka has,” said Sergenese.

www.cornwallseawaynews.com - Seaway News - Wednesday, July 17, 2019 - 21

two more records I want to beat…so it’s not the end,” said Virtue determinedly.

Virtue perfectly executed a 56 kg and 58 kg snatch at a Young Hercules competition in Trenton this past June, beating the previously set record of 55 kg, which had not been surpassed for three years.

“She’s going to explode,” said one of Virtue’s coaches, Abbie Sergenese. “She’s amazing. To work with such a young lady that is so dedicated to the sport…she shows up everyday, she’s ready, sometimes she cries during workouts but she still finishes them. She’s the easiest person to work with. She really knows how to take a cue and materialize it and makes it happen. It’s such a privilege to work with her.”

After suffering a broken leg from a gymnastics injury around the age of 10, Virtue attended the gym to rehabilitate her muscles, which lead her to discover weightlifting. The sport, which Sergenese recognizes may be on the brink of reaching mainstream popularity, soon became Virtue’s sole athletic focus.

“She’s naturally good at it. She’s at such a higher level, she needs more specific training.

She needs people who are going to be able to pay more attention, so we were able to give that to her,” said Sergenese who works with the newly registered United Counties Weightlifting Club.

Sergenese, who has been coaching Virtue for about a year, said the two have created a lasting friendship. They often adorn matching,

A woman walked into the kitchen to find her husband stalking around with a fly swatter.

“What are you doing?” she asked.

“Hunting flies,” he replied.

“Oh, killed any yet?” she said.

“Yep, 3 males, 2 females,” came the answer.

Intrigued, the wife asked, “How can you tell them apart?”

Husband: “3 were on a beer can, 2 were on the phone.”

Why do some men insist on going “shirtless” in public while women must wear at least one layer of clothing. In some of the cases, some men should be arrested for indecent exposure (the men with BIG bellies).

It’s just as warm for women as it is for men!

The management at Lindale Shoes recently provided me with exceptional service when I had a problem with a purchase Wanted everyone to know that it pays to shop locally, and especially at Lindale’s!

Reader says: When large herds of wild animals, whether they are deer, moose or elk, etc.. and they are dying of starvation and disease, they cull the herd so they can survive. With ferel cats taking over different areas in Cornwall causing damages. they should be put to sleep.

These are wild cats and it is time to cull the herd. People that continue to feed these cats are not helping the cause and should be given a big fine to help them stop. It would be stupid to catch spay & neuter and put them back in the wild to starve to death.

It would be much cheaper to put them down.

Protest outside the Port Theatre Nick Seebruch

nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – A protest was held outside of the Port Theatre on Friday, July 12 in response to a film being screened there this week.

Unplanned, which was first screened at the Port on Friday, is a biographical drama chronicling the life of Abby Johnson who went from being a Director at Planned Parenthood in the U.S. to an anti-abortion activist.

The pro-choice protest asserted that the film was inaccurate and that they wished to inform the public of the facts around abortion.

Lisa Fortier, one of the organizers of the protest said that one part of the film where Johnson claims to have been asked to help with an

ultrasound abortion on a black woman who was 13-weeks pregnant.

Fortier says that Johnson would have never have been asked to help with such a procedure, as she was not a doctor and that records of her clinic where she was working show no such procedure taking place on a woman of that description.

Fortier said that around 24 people attended Friday night’s protest. She said that she believed that everyone was entitled to their own opinion, but that they should base their opinions on truth.

“Believe what you want, but don’t try to tell lies to the public,” she said.

Seaway News interviewed Larry Sylvain, owner of the Port, who said that he was not trying to start a contest with anyone, but rather to serve a clientele who attends his theatre regularly.

“We’ve maintained a pretty good faith audience,” he said. “It is a faith based film, and we have a faith based audience.”

“I didn’t think the issue would escalate the way it did because there wasn’t this kind of escalation in the states,” Sylvain went on to say.

Sylvain said that around 200 people came to watch Unplanned over the weekend, with more screenings of the film coming this week.

Fortier for her part, is a woman who has experienced abortion, a subject she is willing to talk about openly.

“I am one of the two per cent of people that found out during your second trimester that their fetus was genetically non-viable had to have an abortion at 23 weeks pregnant,” she said. “For me it was the worst thing that ever happened to me.
