Counties, OPP, CCH, partner to support mental health NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

UNITED COUNTIES of SD&G, Ontario – The United Counties of SD&G have announced that they will be providing $120,000 in funding so a Registered Nurse from the Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) can support the OPP on mental health calls.

The agreement spans 12 months and compliments the service agreement between the CCH and OPP. “This initiative is a great example of a partnership involving three local organizations to provide more resources to residents in need,” said Warden Frank Prevost. “County councillors fully support measures we can take that aid our police, and our residents, during situations that can be fraught with emotion.”

The OPP applauded the partnership explaining how it will help improve outcomes for members of the public experiencing a mental health crisis.

“The purpose of this collaboration is to ensure that the residents of Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry have better health and wellbeing, by receiving the most appropriate and helpful community-based crisis response at the right time in the right places,” said Provincial Constable Jim Blanchette, an SDG OPP Community Mobilization Officer.

“Calls for service involving mental health continue to rise annually and the severity of the mental health concerns that police encounter is increasingly more complex,”

“Members of the SDG OPP are excited to have the opportunity to share in this collaboration with community partners who share our vision for safety and wellbeing. The MHCT will expand rural capacity to assist those with mental health issues in our communities. We believe that the MHCT will help enable us to

provide the best response and care possible for our residents, our families and our friends.”

Jeanette Despatie, President and CEO of the CCH explained that the hospital was ready to provide support on the frontlines of mental healthcare.

FRANK PREVOST SOUTH GLENGARRY

The month of August has seen considerable progress in the reopening of our communities, a focus on re-discovering our backyards with staycations, and creative means of celebrating annual, time-honoured events in new ways to ensure the health and safety of our community.

The Township administrative office, located at 6 Oak Street, Lancaster, reopened to the public on Tuesday, August 4th, while following local health directives set out by the Eastern Ontario Health Unit. The building has resumed regular opening hours from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday to Friday and requires visitors to wear a face mask while conducting business within the administration building. Visitors are encouraged to schedule appointments by phone or email ahead of time as much as possible. Township recreation facilities, community centres, and municipal fire stations remain closed to the public at this time.

Recently, homes in the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry, have received copies of #staycation guides to help round out their 2020 holiday plans and the Township hopes this guide helps you to discover many of the fun amenities South Glengarry has to offer.

The Township also provides a Glengarry Routes Heritage Tour map available at the

The Fair and the Township are proud to celebrate what it means to keep not only your family, but our community safe and running as smoothly as possible through what has been a challenging year. A virtual Home & Garden and DriveThru exhibition has been organized to celebrate the fair this year and will be a new experience for all to enjoy. The Drive-Thru will run from 4pm – 9pm and will display agricultural displays in a reverse style parade that has visitors drive through a route of the fairgrounds to view the floats on display.

Staff will be unavailable Monday, September 7th for the Labour Day Holiday and will resume regular hours again on Tuesday, August 8th.

Garbage and recycling collection will be deferred by one day during that week as a result of the holiday. Council and Committee Meetings will continue to be streamed to the Township’s YouTube page. The next Regular Council meeting is Tuesday, September 8th at 7:00 p.m., due to the Holiday.

Our community has proven resilient and creative in the face of uncertainty as beloved events such as Canada Day, the Highland Games and the Williamstown Fair have had to adjust to a new way of doing things this summer. The Township of South Glengarry recognizes and appreciates all those who have contributed to virtual events and have helped to keep our community safe while still recognizing our heritage and traditions in a time where we need them the most.

SEPTEMBER 2020

CORNWALL, Ontario – Birthday milestones mark different points in the path of life, but more than that, they are a time for reflection on one’s own personal history that led them to that point. Next week, Rolly Fobert turns 90-years-old, and he is blessed to be able to look back on a life well lived.

Born in Cornwall on Aug. 25, 1930 at the Hotel Dieu Hospital. He attended St. Columban’s Boys School and later, CCVS. Rolly married another Cornwall native, Blanche Beaudette on Aug. 19, 1950 and together they created a family that included six children.

After a brief stint at Courtaulds, the rest of Rolly’s story becomes one dedicated to education, and also marked by many moments of community service.

Between 1950 and 1958, Rolly taught at two schools in Ottawa, including St. Patrick’s College High School where he coached basketball before returning to Cornwall and his old stomping grounds of CCVS to become a teacher there.

Rolly coached the senior men’s basketball team at CCVS as well and helped lead that team to the Eastern Ontario Championship for three consecutive years in 1961, ’62, and ’63.

“I had some really good basketball players,” Rolly remembered.

During this time, Rolly was also involved in community service with the Kinsmen Club of Cornwall, where he was president from 1963 to 1964.

613-363-4125 or nseebruch@ seawaynews.media

“I saw a need to be involved in the community, and I was proud to be involved with that club,” he said.

During his time with the Kinsmen Club, the Club built a school for the developmentally challenged on the corner of Ninth St. and McConnell Ave. which Rolly was particularly proud of and this was an area that Rolly had experience in. While he was a teacher at CCVS, the principal there had asked him to help develop a program for developmentally challenged students at the school.

From his time at CCVS, Rolly moved on and became an inspector of schools based in St. Catherines, ON. This was a big move for Rolly, Blanche, and their family, but Rolly credits his supportive wife with making it work.

“I was very lucky with my choice of wife,” he said. “There was a will on my part to try and achieve, and a willingness on her part to always be supportive.”

Rolly and his wife were married for 65 years until her passing in 2016.

Rolly was promoted to the head of Guidances Services within the Ontario Ministry of Education. He eventually became an Administrative Assistant to the Deputy Minister of Education, and then Special Assistant to two Ministers of Education, Tom Wells and Dr. Betty Stephenson.

Rolly left the Ministry of Education in 1980 to become Assistant Director of the Toronto Catholic School Board, a position he held until his retirement in 1985.

During the course of his career, Rolly received accolades such as the Centennial Medal, the Queen’s Silver Jubilee Medal and the Distinguished Service Award of the Canadian Education Association.

Rolly and his wife never forgot Cornwall and the surrounding area though. In the 1950s they had bought a cottage in Summerstown, and in 1989 they made it a home where Rolly continues to reside to this day.

To celebrate the important milestone of reaching his 95th birthday, Rolly chose to celebrate with family, and on Friday, Aug. 21, two of his grandsons, Matt and Mark travelled down from Ottawa to see him. Matt ran the whole way with Mark travelling by bike.

Rolly credits his longevity to his family and a dram of whiskey that he drinks everyday.

CORNWALL, Ontario – In a statement on his Twitter account, son Eric Hawerchuk announced that his father and former Cornwall Royal Dale Hawerchuk had passed away after a battle with cancer on Tuesday, Aug. 18. He was 57.

Hawerchuk was selected sixth overall in 1979 by the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), the Cornwall Royals. With the Royals he was named (QMJHL) Rookie of the year, and led the Royals to a Memorial Cup victory in 1980 and again in 1981.

In 1981 he was drafted first overall into the NHL by the Winnipeg Jets.

Until 2006, Hawerchuk held the NHL record for youngest player to reach 100 points, a record broken by Sidney Crosby. Hawerchuk retired from play in 1997 and was inducted into the NHL Hall of Fame in 2001.

Since June 2010 he was the head coach of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) team the Barrie Colts. In October 2019 Hawerchuk was diagnosed with stomach cancer and took a leave of absence to fight the disease.

“After an incredibly brave and difficult battle with cancer, our dad has passed away. My family is so proud of him and the way he fought. #HawerchukStrong,” reads a statement from his son Eric on Twitter.

Un cas humain d’infection par le Virus du Nil occidental confirmé dans la région du BSEO COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LE BSEO CORNWALL, Ontario - Le Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario (BSEO) confirme le premier cas humain d’infection par le Virus du Nil occidental de l’été dans la région. À ce jour, il n’y a pas eu de résultats positifs de la maladie dans un bassin de moustiques sur le territoire du BSEO, mais le cas humain d’infection indique que le virus est présent parmi la population locale de moustiques. « Ce premier cas humain d’infection par le virus du Nil occidental cet été, confirme que le Virus du Nil occidental continue de nous préoccuper dans la région, » dit le Dr Paul Roumeliotis, Médecin hygiéniste au BSEO. « J’incite les résidents à être prudents et à prendre les précautions nécessaires pour se protéger eux-mêmes et leur famille. » Le virus du Nil occidental se propage aux humains par la piqûre d’un moustique infecté. Pour la plupart des gens, le risque de développer la maladie causée par le Virus du

Nil occidental est faible. Toutefois, le virus peut causer des maladies graves pour d’autres.

Les résidents peuvent se protéger des moustiques et ainsi donc contre le virus en prenant les mesures suivantes : Appliquer un insectifuge à usage personnel approuvé par le gouvernement fédéral, comme ceux contenant du DEET ou de l’icaridine. Une mince couche sur la peau exposée suffit. Lire l’étiquette pour le mode d’emploi.

Pour aller à l’extérieur, portez des vêtements pâles, une chemise à manches longues, des pantalons et des bas. Éviter de sortir à la tombée de la nuit et à l’aube, puisque ce sont les moments où les moustiques sont les plus actifs.

S’assurer que tout récipient pouvant contenir de l’eau, tels que les pneus, les toiles de piscines, les soucoupes sous les pots à fleurs, les pataugeoires et les jouets

d’enfants sont vidés régulièrement de leur eau dormante.

S’assurer que les moustiquaires, les fenêtres et les portes sont bien scellés pour éviter que les moustiques entrent dans la maison.

A border town with a closed border NICK SEEBRUCH

8 - Wednesday, August 26, 2020

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

We are a border town, and the border should stay closed. On Aug. 14, it was announced that the Canada U.S. border would remain closed for all but a few exceptions until Sept.

21. This was the fifth time that the border closure was extended.

Has the closure of the border affected Cornwall, definitely, more than many other Canadian cities of our size. According to Cornwall’s Division Manager of Cornwall’s Economic Development Department, Bob Peters, of nearly 2,500 visitors surveyed in 2019, roughly eight per cent were from the United States. This year, Peters states that that number has fallen to around one per cent.

This dip in numbers represents a significant loss to the tourism sector of our local economy, a sector already hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition to being a great place to visit, Cornwall is also an important logistical hub and luckily for us, commercial traffic has always been allowed through the border, but not without restrictions.

U.S. citizens are allowed to travel through Canada for work related purposes, or if they are travelling to their residence, which would be the case for U.S. residents of Alaska travelling from the contiguous states.

In July, Public Health Canada issued the following directives to U.S. residents travelling through Canada: • avoid contact with others while in transit; • remain in the vehicle as much as possible; • not make any unnecessary stops; • practice physical distancing at all times; • pay at the pump if they need gas; • use a drive-thru if they need food; • wear a suitable mask or face covering while in transit; • ensure good hygiene practices if they need to use a rest area; and • only use services that are open to travellers along the direct route on which they are travelling.

My opinion is that these precautions and the border closure are necessary.

Our COVID-19 numbers are low. There are no active cases in the City of Cornwall. There are only three active cases in the United Counties of SD&G. To give a perspective of how poorly the pandemic has been contained in the United States, at its lowest point this summer, on June 1, the United States had 16,040 new cases in a single day. On Saturday, Aug. 22, there were 46,163 new cases that day.

There have been 433,881 total confirmed cases in the state of New York since the start of the pandemic, and over 32,000 deaths. In Florida, where many Canadians travel during the winter, there have been 597,589 total confirmed cases since the start of the pandemic and 10,273 deaths.

For context, there have been 124,896 cases in the entire country of Canada as of Aug. 23, and deaths stand at 9,037.

Canada is smaller than the United States. We have about 10 per cent of their population. If the United States had handled the COVID-19 pandemic to the same level of effectiveness as Canada, then they should have proportionate rates of positivity. If the United States had the same positivity rate as Canada, they should have had around 1.2 million total recorded cases of COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic, but this isn’t the case. Since the start of the pandemic to Aug. 23, the United States has recorded 5.6 million cases of COVID-19 according to their Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

The border should remain closed, even though it is especially difficult for us as a border town. The alternative would be far worse.

Cornwall, Ontario, and Canada have our own significant challenges to worry about than U.S. citizens travelling across the border for nonessential reasons.

Hopefully after November, the U.S. finds the leadership to manage the pandemic on a unified, national level, but until they adequately manage their issues, the border should remain closed. The cost we are paying in losses to Cornwall’s tourism industry is a small price to pay when compared to the risk we would face by opening our borders to a country with no leadership, especially when it comes to combating the pandemic; a lack of leadership that has cost lives in the U.S. and has allowed COVID-19 to spread like a wildfire.

What do you think readers of the border closure? How have you been affected, email me a Letter to the Editor at nseebruch@seawaynews.media

LETTERS nseebruch@seawaynews.media Compromise Dear Editor: I heard the word ‘compromise’ used frequently in our city council debate on the Burn By-law and in public (like your editorial).

The definition of compromise is ‘an agreement or settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions’.

There was no compromise in this debate in council chambers or in the public. The ONLY compromise was with the group that wanted old Burn By-law the conditions in the and the one debated at the last council meeting. Therefore, the complete misuse of the

word.

The residents who are against having wood fires in our community did not ‘compromise’ their position. Their concern is for their health and their ability to enjoy their property. It was very disappointing not to hear any compassion for these residents by the city councillors that supported this new Burn By-law.

However, I encourage any resident impacted by wood smoke to call the fire department and report the problem.

Councillor Glen G. Grant

Back to the Ward System?

SHORT & SWEET DICK AUBRY

In the early 1970s Cornwall decided to go from a six ward electoral system to an at large version.

Historically, there were two aldermen elected in each of the six wards. The “at large” system required the aldermanic candidates to compete on a city wide basis. Twelve aldermen elected in the 1970s from 33 candidates, gave way to 10 in the 1980s.

The main advantages to the “at large system” is that it forces the candidates and hence those elected to think of the city as a while, what’s best for the city and not just what is good for one neighbourhood.

Seaway News welcomes letters to the editor. Letters should be no longer than 300 words and may be edited fo clarity or length. Please send your letters by email to nseebruch@seawaynews.media or by mail to 501 Campbell Street, Unit 6, Cornwall, ON K6H 6X5. Include name, address and phone number.

It also gives the electors a much wider choice from say 20 to 30 candidates rather than just two of five in my ward.

At large puts a premium on candidates who are “involved” in the city and so are beter known. They have shown commitment.

As a citizen you have the option of calling on any one of 10 councillors now if you have an issue. You are not restricted to just the two.

The main disadvantage of the at large system is thatfrom a campaigning point of view it’s obviously more difficult and expensive to campaign.

Hopefully, the electors are voting for the people they believe have good judgement, relevant experience, or other positive characteristics. What street a candidate lives on should be as irrelevant as their eye colour.

On balance, the at large system is much better.

OPINION

Dale Hawerchuk: The humble superstar Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

is almost routine.

Not so in 1958.

Gilles Gauthier was just the second patient in Canada to undergo the life-saving operation performed by renowned cardiac surgeon Dr. Arthur Vineberg.

Two weeks after the operation at the Royal Vic, Gauthier was transferred to Hotel Dieu Hospital to continue his recovery.

Before the surgery, the prognosis was grim. Doctors told him he had, at best, five years to live.

ALSO THIS WEEK IN 1958 – As a province-wide beer strike entered its third week, city and area hotels said they were running out of suds. Most said at best they had a week’s supply. ... The two ferries – Weehawk and John T. Walsh – that transported vehicles to and from Cornwall Island while the new international bridge was under construction carried 46,609 vehicles during July. ... Restoration of the once popular St. Lawrence Park by the Cornwall Lions Club included enlarging the beach, building a new lunch counter, new bath houses and plans for a new dance hall. The club expended to spend $50,000 on the east Cornwall park. ... Entwistle and Son Ltd was given a $258,000 contract to build an extension to the United Counties Building. ... Nicole Marion, 14, daughter of Mr. And Mrs. Edgar Marion, scored 100% on the Royal Conservatory of Music Theory II exam. ...

Deadline for converting war-time Victory Bonds to Canadian Conversion Bonds was Sept. 15. ... Crysler was preparing to play host to the International Plowing Match Oct. 7-10. ... A 32-year-old Osnabruck Centre woman was attacked by the family’s 80-pound Boxer. Mrs. Hugh Hair had her hands and arms mangled as she tried to fight off the dog. Her husband managed to fire three shots at the dog but it ran off into the bush. ... Monthly rent prices for the new housing units at Brookdale Avenue and Thirteenth Street were listed at $62.50 for two-bedrooms, $69.50 for three bedrooms and $76.50 for four bedrooms. ... Ray

Dewar had a grand-slam homer and three base hits as Emard Lumber downed Howard Smith Paper Mill 9-5 in a North End Fastball League playoff game. ... Scotty Bowman was among the spectators for a Quebec Rugby Football Union game (Verdun vs Cornwall) at the Athletic Grounds. His brother Jack played for Verdun. Bowman, assistant general manager (to Sam Pollock) of the Hull Junior Canadiens, told S-F sports editor Frank Orr that Junior Hab graduates Ralph Backstrom and Cornwall’s Billy Carter had a good shot at breaking into the NHL. He said Backstrom could find himself on a line with Jean Beliveau and Bernie Geoffrion.

HERE AND THERE Sorry NHL. Can’t get into hockey in August. Maybe September. ...

Add Ragu pasta sauce to the cross-border shopping list (when cross-border shopping returns). It is no longer sold in Canada. ...

According to the polls, if the U. S. election were held today, Joe Biden would beat Donald Trump. However, in a strange twist, the same polls show that 59% of Americans don’t believe Biden will be able to finish his first term of office (and the U.S. will have its first female president). ... VP candidate Kamala Harris is a graduate of Westmount High School in Montreal, the same high school Leonard Cohen graduated from. Her mother, a cancer specialist, had moved to Montreal from California to take a job with a Montreal hospital.

TRIVIA The owner of the Capitol Theatre donated the land in 1938 for this recreation facility: 1) King George Park, 2) Tennis courts behind the orphanage (Second and Sydney streets), 3) Lawn bowling club on Sixth Street East, 4) Horse-shoe pitch near old fair grounds, 5) Curling club on Amelia Street.

TRIVIA ANSWER Toronto native Neil Young is suing the Trump campaign for using his song “Rockin’ in the Free World” at its Mount Rushmore love-in. Young, who lives in California and became a U.S. citizen a year ago, supported Bernie Saunders.

705 Brookdale Avenue, CORNWALL – 613 937-4644

www.cornwallseawaynews.com - Seaway News - Wednesday, August 26, 2020 - 9

The Cornwall Royals’ savvy scout Gord Wood had just parked himself in a seat at the Ed Lumley Arena, 10 rows up, as confident veterans and nervous prospects took to the ice for the first time.

It was opening day of the 1979 training camp at Ed Lumley Arena.

There might have been 30 players on the ice but one, and only one, had Wood’s undivided attention.

“He’s going to be a franchise player,” gushed the always talkative Wood when asked what he expected from the skinny kid with the big head of hair.

At first look, training camp gawkers could be excused for thinking Wood had made a mistake with the club’s sixth overall draft pick.

Some mistake.

He finished second in team scoring with 103 points, two behind Davie Ezard. He was named Quebec Major Junior Hockey League playoff MVP and rookie of the year. And he had a Memorial Cup ring.

In his second year he became the best junior hockey player in the world. Selecting Hawerchuk first overall in the 1981 NHL draft was a no-brainer for Winnipeg Jets general manager John Ferguson Sr. In the just completed season, Hawerchuk had led the Royals to a second straight Memorial Cup and won just every available award. He piled up a league-leading183 points in the regular season, 20 points more than team runner-up Scott Arniel. Those 183 points made him the team’s all-time single season scoring leader.

He was the reason the Royals found themselves in the OHL for the 1981-82 season.

Upset that an Ontario-born player taken in the OHL draft had become a QMJHL

super-star filling Quebec rinks, the OHL decided it would never again happen. The Royals were forced to join the OHL to remain part of the Ontario draft. The Royals were not charged a franchise fee.

As an 18-year-old NHL rookie in the big show, Hawerchuk piled up 103 points. He was on his way to NHL super-star status and induction into the NHL Hall of Fame, joining former Royals Billy Smith and Doug Gilmour.

“He was one of the most humble hockey stars I’ve been around,” recalled Bob Kilger who coached the 1981 Memorial Cup team.

“He was a team player who never chased headlines. A real joy to coach.”

For Gord Wood, selecting Hawerchuk with the team’s sixth overall pick, cemented his reputation as one of the top talent scouts in the junior game. Unfortunately, Wood was unable to harvest another diamond in the rough as the Royals struggled in the OHL. A year ago this month, Hawerchuk discovered he had stomach cancer. He underwent radical surgery and weeks of chemotherapy.

In April, he left hospital believing he had conquered the disease. It came back earlier this month. This time, he knew he wasn’t going to win the battle.

The Winnipeg Sun reported that in the 72 hours before he died, he called many of those close to him in the pro hockey world to say good-bye and to tell them how much he loved them. People like Serge Savard, Teemu Selanne, Jeremy Roenick and Scott Arniel, who received one last text from his long-time close friend on the morning he died.

“He knew it was coming,” Arniel told the Sun. “And at the end of the day he felt he was in a good place. And he’s at peace now.”

The humble superstar was 57.

LOOKING BACK CIRCA 1958 A 26-year-old Cornwall man was recovering this week in 1958 after ground-breaking heart surgery performed at Montreal’s Royal Victoria Hospital.

Today, the surgery to repair what in layman’s terms is called a “leaky heart valve”

SigmaPoint to help with ventilator production Federal Government to build 10,000 Air1 Ventilators that are to be distributed to intensive care units across the country within 3 months. SigmaPoint is honoured to be selected to play a role with CAE to help save lives within Canada. We will be doing our part by supplying critical electronic components to CAE’s Air1 Ventilators. This contract, and being an integral part of this team, gives all of our employees a strong sense of purpose in helping to battle this disease.”

The announcement of the production of these ventilators comes just one week after Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam warned of a possible surge of COVID-19 cases in the fall that could overwhelm the healthcare system if capacity is not built up now.

“What we know based on what we learned from other countries and cities that had a devastating impact in that initial wave, if you exceeded that capacity the mortality goes up really, really high,” Dr. Tam said.

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall based company SigmaPoint Technologies Inc. will be a partner in the production of 10,000 Air1 Ventilators.

The ventilators are being built through a partnership between Montreal based tech company CAE and the federal government.

For its part, SigmaPoint will be producing electronic components for the ventilators.

The ventilators will be distributed to intensive care units across the country and SigmaPoint expects to begin production starting next week.

“As COVID-19 continues to challenge all of us globally, our healthcare workers and first responders are constantly putting their health at risk,” said SigmaPoint CEO Dan Bergeron.

“There is an urgent need to supply our healthcare providers with PPE and equipment that can help to save lives. CAE is working with the

I often encounter traffic in the east bound lane driving towards on coming traffic because there is no room in their lane because of the parked cars. At the very least, the City should have parking meters installed there, maybe that at least would discourage some of the traffic.

3 MINUTES WITH THE MP

ERIC DUNCAN MP STORMONT, DUNDAS & GLENGARRY

After more than 5 months of Parliament being shut down due to COVID-19 with no regular sittings or regular business, it is time for Members of Parliament to return to Ottawa and get back to the job we were elected to do.

Without a doubt, there is no shortage of issues for us to address. We left numerous pieces of legislation unfinished, the government has pledged hundreds of billions of dollars in deficit spending with few questions being able to be asked and even less accountability, and new information drips out daily about the WE scandal and ethics issues.

When I heard that the Liberal government proposed to prorogue Parliament and shut down many investigations into their scandals, it was frustrating to say the least.

I believe this statement to be blunt, but true: if students and teachers are returning to classrooms, then there is no reason why MPs cannot get back to Ottawa with proper social distancing measures in place, in the same fashion that every single workplace in Canada has been implementing.

Anything less than getting Parliament restarted and holding the minority government to account is a purely political stall tactic.

While I have enjoyed connecting with businesses and not-forprofit groups throughout the riding on my “Wellness Tour” and while we have helped hundreds of constituents with case files in my office, it is time to lead by example and get back to Ottawa.

I look forward to getting back to Parliament Hill and being your voice in Ottawa. There is lots of work to be done and questions to be asked. Let’s get to it.

CORNWALL, Ontario – On Saturday, Sept. 5, all sales made at Séguin Patate’s Marlborough St. location will go to support the Agapè Centre.

Sept. 5 will be the last day that the Marlborough St. location will be open and Séguin Patate’s staff at that location will be donating their time that day as well.

This is the second year that Séguin Patate has held a fundraiser on their last open day of the season. In 2019 they raised $2,000 in one day for the Agapè Centre.

“We are glad to give back to the community,” said Séguin Patate owner

Jason Shoot. “We want to give back and we feel it is our duty as business owners to give back to the community.”

Lisa Duprau, Executive Director of the Agapè Centre was thrilled to once again be the beneficiary of this fundraiser.

“The Agapè Centre is thrilled to be on the receiving end of this generous fundraiser by Séguin Patate,” Duprau said.

“Knowing that staff are volunteering their time on Sept. 5, shows how supportive our community truly is. Come out on Sept. 5 and enjoy one of Séguin Patate’s famous poutines and support your local food bank.”

Only sales made at their Marlborough St. location will be donated to the

encroach our lawn. Gravel and stones concealed in the tall weeds were occasionally flung through the air like bits of shrapnel. One cost me a patio door that shattered into confetti-like particles of glass.

Dead trees were felled to feed the wood stoves that warmed my homes for 36 winters.

And now I live in a village, Ingleside. The yard maintenance tasks are just a tad bigger that those in Toronto. The wimpy trimmer I now use is powered by a rechargeable battery. Its plastic body should be pink (or lemon, as in ‘it’s a lemon!’), not orange. Manly it is not! To say it is ‘powered by’ is a misnomer. That battery has no more power or endurance than a hearing aid battery.

Its whipping cord seems to do nothing more

than gently massage the blades of grass, as it is about the diameter of one of the hairs on my head. A macho machine it is not! I give it frequent recharging rests in the hope it will become born again.

By the time the trimming is finally finished, the lawn is just about ready to be mowed again.

The only burning of wood I get to do these days is in our backyard rock firepit. We snap the twigs that fall off our maple trees into little pieces. Gone are my chainsaw days. Oh, how I remember its roar, its belching smoke, its ferocious cutting power. No more felling trees to supply our home with ten cords of firewood.

Those were the manly days.

How the scale of things has changed over the years! How are the mighty fallen!

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

After more than three-quarters of a century, from Toronto’s urban Parkdale, to rural Glengarry and now to village life in South Stormont’s Ingleside, my life and ways have undergone staggering changes.

In Toronto my parents’ living room carpet-sized lawn was cut with a mower that went ‘whirr, whirr, whirr’ as long as I kept pushing it.

Scissors from the kitchen drawer trimmed the edges. All done in ten minutes.

Next came my 26 years in my first Glengarry

rural home. It took some macho equipment to keep the surrounding forest from reclaiming the flat green space I had wrested from the wilderness. As the grassy area expanded, the puny gas-powered push mower was eventually upgraded to a ride-on.

Then a macho-grade ‘weed-whacker’ was added to my repertoire of yard maintenance equipment. It was impressive. If you’ve ever seen the radial engine of a WW II bomber being coaxed to life, you can imagine the whining, coughing and spluttering that eventually produces belches of smoke before settling down to being ready to get to work.

The whacking cord was almost as thick as a wooden pencil. It was strong enough to sever the trunk of saplings that were attempting to
