Remembering D-Day’s heroes NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall Legion Branch 297 held a small ceremony on Sunday, June 6 at the Cornwall Cenotaph in remembrance of the heroes of D-Day. On June 6, 1944, Canadian, American, and British troops landed on the beaches of Normandy, France, marking a turning point in World War II and a step on the road to the end of Nazism in Europe.

The SD&G Highlanders served in the First Battalion, of the Third Canadian Infantr y Division. The First Battalion Division Association held reunions after the war on the nearest weekend to D-Day, a tradition that was carried on by the Glens Association.

“This evening, following dinner, at 1900 hours, I intend to pour a shot of Calvados and toast those brave men with their battle cry “Up the Glens,”” said Glens Association President George O’Dair. “Wherever you are and with whatever your choice of beverage, I invite you to honour them as well.”

The ceremony at the cenotaph included a laying of a wreath, a short prayer, and a moment of silence. The ceremony was smaller this year, limited only to the Legion’s executive members due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Thank you all for coming out today,” said Cornwall Legion President Mar vin Plumadore. “I know its not like we’re used to, but w will continue to do what we can to ensure that our veterans are not forgotten.”

4 factors to consider when buying a magnifying glass A magnifying glass can make it easier to read books, solve puzzles or enjoy a variety of other hobbies. Here are four things to consider when choosing one.

1. Lens size. The magnification power of a magnifying glass’ convex lens depends on its size and curvature.

The smaller the lens and the greater the curvature, the larger objects will appear.

2. Intended use. If you only need it on occasion, such as to read a menu, a hand-held magnifying glass will do the trick. For more frequent use with brief tasks, consider a magnifying pendant.

3. Portability. A pocket magnifying glass is preferable for use outside the home, as it can easily fit in a pocket or bag.

4. Weight. Hand-held magnifying glasses can be difficult to hold for extended periods of time.

And I knew that Guindon Park had a boat launch, and a popular one at that.

But it had never occurred to me that the calm, clear waters there would be equally ideal for unmotorized boating.

We saw several kayakers on our short jaunt, which led us past the Cornwall-South Stormont boundary and towards one of the many flooded roads that hint at our community’s history. Speed boats and seadoos kept a respectful distance from our canoe, and it was easy to pop the canoe in and out of the water a short distance from the boat launch.

It was a perfect excursion for a few reasons. One – the sun was shining. Two – I forgot my paddle, and got to lean back and

I was wrong.

When my typical canoe launch area at the Cornwall Canal was a little busy, my brother and sister-in-law recommended trying Guindon Park.

2020 was a banner year for the park – after years of being a well-kept secret, tons of Cornwall residents discovered the serene forested trails, perfect for summer walks or winter cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and fatbiking.

Both of us now being ‘four score’ years of age, we never thought we’d go back to doing what we had to do when we were in our 30s.

Back then, we had to ‘child-proof’ our home.

We had three little ones that could get into trouble if we didn’t child-proof everything.

And then, the children grew up and moved away. No more child-proofing – we thought.

However, years later, in 1998, I once again had to child-proof my home. The access to the basement stairway had to be blocked off. Cords for any appliances and the telephone had to be secured. We’d have no idea where our shoes or slippers would end up if they weren’t put away properly. For some reason, any newspaper left unattended could be shredded.

When we had three children, we never had to take them for a walk three times a day.

They soon learned to amuse themselves, even play together. Not so with our 1998 arrival. She was so tiny when she was born, but she never grew to be more than 17 pounds. Her language comprehension was amazing, but her ability to speak never progressed beyond moaning, whining and other utterances. Despite that, we always knew what she wanted and what mood she was in.

After all, how much more could one expect of an American Eskimo miniature! Ever since she died in 2010, there’s been an empty spot in my heart and an absence of enthusiastic greeting when we enter the doorway - even though we may have been away for only a few minutes.

I thought that all the things I’ve described from the 1970s to 1998 were never to be repeated. However, on February 16 of this year, everything was changed by a knock at

the front door. What arrived was not of our doing.

We were soon back to ‘child-proofing’ our home. Once again, access to the basement stairway had to be blocked off. Cords for appliances and the telephone had to be secured. Newspapers and books could no longer be left on the floor. Our shoes and slippers had to be put where they belonged.

Living with a eufy RoboVac 11S robotic vacuum cleaner, with intelligent Boost IQ Technology, model T2108, is just like having three young children or an American Eskimo pup in your house. However, as he roams about the house, he does the vacuuming.

Just like a toddler, he frequently needs to have what he’s ingested cleaned out. Then, off he goes again.

(Robo was a surprise birthday gift from Charlotte, Juliet’s daughter, who lives in Powell River, B.C.) ROBO GETS TRAPPED UNDER THE STOVE – He’s free to roam about the house, but gets tangled by rug fringes and trapped in corners. He’s still not ‘toilet-trained’, attention is required when he’s ready for a ‘dump’.

Bentley Hospitality “Bringing Unique Ideas to Life”

BY CAROL GODDARD, SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS

Building on 25 years of experience in the hospitality field combined with a passion for craft beer, Cornwall’s Ian Bentley is embarking on a business venture which he anticipates will create unique experiences for his clients.

Bentley Hospitality will provide clients with assistance in all aspects of event planning including safety, security, venue, food service and budgeting.

Bentley was pleased to describe plans for summer weekend events, once COVID-19 restrictions are relaxed, utilizing The Craft Shack, a twelve-foot trailer which has been converted to a mobile hospitality hub. He continued how the current focus is on encouraging local tourism, with Craft Shack Summer Socials set to play a role in developing tourism in the area.

Bentley explained the CSSS events are planned for one weekend per month at Point Maligne on the Cornwall waterfront near Marina 200. The Craft Shack will feature

craft beer from across Ontario, with a local food truck available and musicians added to event atmosphere. He continued the event will be held on the hill overlooking the waterfront, with a limit on the number of participants determined in consultation with the EOHU and in accordance with COVID-19 provincial regulations.

Bentley explained some of the pandemic related hurdles encountered included the necessity of adjusting plans for the event due as provincial and EOHU pandemic regulations change, remaining focussed and positive during the planning process despite the stresses associated with the pandemic in addition to those normally associated with beginning a new business.

After thanking his wife and children for their support, he thanked SDSG MP Eric Duncan for his assistance in the development of the project. After mentioning the support received from the EOHU and the City of Cornwall, he thanked Bob Peters, Jamie Fawthrop, Kevin Lajoie, Lorne Tailleau and Mark Boileau. Bentley mentioned how

CORNWALL, Ontario – Both regional conser vation authorities, South Nation Conservation (SNC) and the Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA) have declared that the region is in a Level 1 Low Water Condition.

According to the RRCA, the region has

received only 135 mm of water over the past three months, nearly 100 mm less than the seasonal average.

“Residents and businesses are asked to reduce their water consumption by 10 per cent by limiting non-essential uses (e.g. lawn watering, car washing, etc.). Residents are also encouraged to consult with their municipalities regarding any water conservation

bylaws in effect,” reads a statement from the RRCA. The SNC offers the following water conservation tips: 1. Repair all leaks around the home.

2. If you must water your lawn, early morning or late evening watering reduces evaporation.

4. Water plants with water collected in a rain barrel.

5. If you must run the tap, save the excess water for watering plants The RRCA states that water level conditions likely will not improve as a low amount of precipitation is forecasted for the summer and fall.

Spowart named new CPS Chief nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall Police Service (CPS) has a new Chief designate. CPS Deputy Chief Shawna Spowart has been named to succeed Chief Danny Aikman, who announced his retirement last month.

Spowart has been a member of the CPS for 26 years and has spent the past three of them serving as Deputy Chief alongside Aikman.

“As I said in my interview I have spent most of my career to distract from being female,” she said. “I believe that I reached this milestone not because I’m female, but in spite of it.”

Spowart also outlined her vision for issues she wished to address as Chief, including rising opioid overdoses, the mental health of CPS employees, and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusivity.

“A modern day police service cannot exist without the prioritization of diversity, equity and inclusivity,” Spowart said. “It doesn’t end until we’ve eliminated the existence of systemic barriers.”

NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – On Saturday, June 5 well over one-hundred demonstrators gathered in Cornwall in front of St. Columban’s Church for a march in honour of the 215 children who were found in a mass grave at the former Kamloops Residential School in Kamloops, BC. Georgina Lazore is a first generation survivor of the Kamloops Residential School. Her parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins attended the school.

“The truth is out now and the Canadian government and the U.S. governments must be held accountable,” Lazore said. “In memory of the 215 children, let’s take a peaceful walk and help put them to rest.”

The march began at 2:15 p.m. when the bells

of St. Columban’s Church was tolled 215 times.

The march proceeded from the church to Pitt St., then down to Lamoureux Park. The procession ended at the boat launch, where Lazore and others threw white roses into the water of the St. Lawrence River to symbolically put the children who suffered in residential schools to rest.

“215 children were ripped out of their parent’s arms and brought to a strange place, with strange people,” Lazore said. “Their names were stripped away and they were given numbers. If they spoke their mother tongue, then they were whooped with a strap.”

Lazore said that after the discovery of the mass grave at the Kamloops Residential School, her mother, who attended the school began to remember what life was like at the

school. Lazore said that her uncle tried to run away from the school at age nine and was caught by the RCMP 25 kilometers from the school and was forced to return.

“My uncle never did speak of his punishment, but I can imagine what it was,” she said.

Lazore called on everyone in attendance to reach out to their MP, MPP and the Catholic Church to hold them accountable.

On Saturday, morning, Marcel Damphousse, Archbishop of the Ottawa-Cornwall Diocese appeared on CBC’s Ottawa Morning to discuss the church’s role in the residential school system.

“The little I know is that the government is the one that called upon the Catholic Church to help out. The Catholic Church [sought] to help from the religious communities at the time,” he

said.

Damphousse went on to characterize the residential school system as fundamentally flawed.

“From my own perspective as just a human being, there’s something absolutely wrong here,” Damphousse said. “I don’t understand how that can happen, and so, belonging to the Catholic Church, there’s a great feeling of shame.” The Catholic Church ran as much as 70 per cent of residential schools in Canada.

“They accomplished cultural genocide to a large extent,” Lazore said.

Lazore ended the ceremony with a quote from her uncle Amos who attended the school upon hearing of the discovery of the 215 children.

“Canada has no right to speak to anyone of human rights ever again,” she said.

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

The pandemic has been difficult for many, and many are feeling the strain.

Fortunately, there are many places to turn and see members of this city coming together to support each other and the community as a whole.

I want to take this column this week and recognize some of those people who are making a difference. I can’t name them all hear, but I feel highlighting their good deeds and community efforts might help get all of us a little closer to feeling normal and that light at the end of the tunnel that is the end of the pandemic.

First, I want to recognize Bill Makinson.

We had a story in our paper last week about Bill’s retirement from YourTV Cornwall. Bill has been a supporter of the Cornwall community for many years, both through his work at YourTV and through charity work with Big Brothers/ Big Sisters Cornwall, the United Way, Crafting a Cure, and more. On Thursday night, dozens of members of the Cornwall community came together on Zoom to wish Bill a happy retirement, as he leaves our community for Amherstview to be closer to his grandchildren.

I also want to recognize the local service clubs in Cornwall. Pandemic or not,

the Cornwall service clubs are responsible for fundraising tens of thousands of dollars every year. Dollars that are spent on making Cornwall a better community for everyone. These service clubs have seen their memberships shrink over the years as members age, and few new members join, but without these clubs, the City of Cornwall would be poorer, in every sense of the word. The Kinsmen Club of Cornwall, as an example, recently donated $30,000 to the Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation (CCHF) to help buy the hospital new anesthesia equipment. This is just one of many donations that the Kinsmen have made to the hospital over the past year. The fact that they have been able to raise this money and fund these important community projects despite the pandemic is impressive.

Speaking of our frontline workers at the hospital, the CCHF in partnership with Dairy Queen Cornwall has been working to rally support and recognize frontline healthcare workers, who have borne more than their fair share of strain from this pandemic.

During the month of April, CCHF and Dairy Queen Cornwall held their “We Stand Behind our Healthcare Frontlines” art contest, challenging members of the community to create art in their windows

or on their lawns to show their support for frontline workers. Dairy Queen Cornwall had art work placed on their solarium as an example and to show their support.

“It’s amazing what a month can do. As I write this column, the scenario at our hospital is much more optimistic than it was in April, and I think we all have high hopes for a healthier, happier summer ahead,” CCHF’s Executive Director Amy Gillespie said in her column last week.

On Saturday, a large number of members of the Cornwall community, joined with their neighbours from Akwesasne in a peaceful march to recognize the 215 Indigenous children who were found in graves at the Kamloops Residential School.

It can be hard to know what to do in response to shocking and sad news, but

I think that Saturdays march was a step in the right direction. I have since heard of different community members pledging to run 215 km to raise awareness around residential schools. It is impossible as a non-Indigenous person to truly know how this impacts the Indigenous community, but showing support and being willing to listen is a good start.

Like I said these are just a few examples of bright spots in the Cornwall community during this exceptionally difficult time. There are many, many more. Too many to name here, but every effort to make Cornwall better and to put out positivity is appreciated.

Who else setting a positive example in our community?

Along with celebrating our outdoor activities we want to share an exciting new outdoor hiking series that we started on May 31st for our matches! Joe Wilderness, an active community member has brought us the “BBBS Summer Hike Series” which has the goal of encouraging our youth to enjoy spend some time out in nature and exercise throughout the summer! The matches were provided with 10 trails/areas throughout the Cornwall & SD&G area and were asked to complete at least 3

trails by August 1, 2021 as a match; with every trail hiked the matches will be entered into a draw to win a Fitbit!

At the end of the series our matches will be invited to join Joe Wilderness along with Johnny Mountaintop for a 10km hike called Blue Mountain which is located near Gananoque.

We are so excited to be able to participate in this great series and enjoy our community while being active. As always for more information on being involved in our agency please contact our Caseworker Kelsey Jeaurond at Kelsey.jeaurond@bigbrothersbigsisters.ca.

OPINION

They were put in a hole behind the barn Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

When it comes to deceased residents of institutions callously buried in unmarked graves, the United Counties has its own shameful past, although not on the scale of the shocking discovery of 215 anonymous graves containing the remains of residential school students.

Retired Cornwall developer Rick Kalil has a vivid memory of the day in 1985 when his housing development literally dug up a dark chapter in the operation of the former House of Refuge on what is now Eleventh Street East.

The institution opened in 1913 and closed in 1952 when it was purchased by a religious order and operated as an allgirls high school, St. Michael’s Academy.

When it closed the building became a nursing home and the large field behind it was sold.

The House of Refuge’s main building was erected on 75 acres of farmland purchased by the United Counties from William Craig for $7,000. Farm implements and cattle were included in the sale. He was paid in annual $1,000 instalments with the stipulation that if he died before the final instalment, the debt would be

paid.

“My first thought was that we were on an ancient native burial ground,” recalled Kalil of the day the backhoe operator digging for the foundation of a second house summoned him to the hole.

He had unearthed a rotted wooden box that looked like a casket a few feet below the surface.

“I called the police and they called in the coroner,” said Kalil.

An investigation concluded the remains were that of an unidentified inmate, as residents of the facility were called. In all, over a six-week period when trenches were dug back and forth on the property, 28 more remains were pulled from the field.

The House of Refuge was a throw back to a Charles Dickens era poor house. Its residents were destitute with no means of support. If able, residents were required to work for their keep on the farm or in the gardens that fed the residents. In his history of the United Counties, John Graham Harkness said the institution had one of the finest barns in the Counties and a good herd of purebred cattle.

The academy used the barn as a skating rink with natural ice. In his development, Kalil turned the barn into a splendid apartment building complete with two penthouses.

Kalil said he was surprised when he discovered that the burial site was never

registered with the provincial government as a cemetery. The institution’s minutes recorded the deaths but there was no mention of where the deceased residents were buried.

He managed to track down a man in Finch who worked at the House. The man said he had helped bury some of the deceased residents. In most cases, they were buried in the field, without a ceremony, the same day they died. Most were buried between 1913 and 1939.

“Seems hard to believe that people, poor or not, would be treated in such a manner,” said Kalil. “They were just put in a hole out behind the barn.”

The discovered remains were transported to St. Lawrence Valley Cemetery and re-interred in a mass grave on the east side of the cemetery.

Enter Cornwall history buff Sara Lauzon, known as the “Little Historian”. She took it upon herself to give some overdue dignity to their passing with a campaign that raised $5,000 for a monument at the grave site. It was dedicated on July 23, 2016 with clergy on hand.

JUST A THOUGHT: Why haven’t the made-in-Cornwall, self-appointed racist label slappers wielding the white privilege racist branding iron putting the label on a prime minister who once went to a party wearing a black face? Now that is racist!

TRIVIA On Dec. 31, 1956 Cornwall’s

population was 17,030. The next day – Jan. 1, 1957 – annexation of parts of Cornwall Township pushed the figure to: 1) 42,000, 2) 36,000, 3) 28,000, 4) 49,000, 5) 22,450.

TRIVIA ANSWER A bowling alley and Fullerton’s Drug Store were part of the Royal Hotel block at Montreal Road and McConnell Avenue.

FAST FACT Chesterville native Gladys Marcellus made history on Sept. 14, 1961 when she became the first female bank manager in Canada. She was in charge of an Ottawa branch of the Bank of Nova Scotia. Three years earlier she had become Canada’s first female bank accountant.

TURNING BACK THE CLOCK TO 1975 - City engineer Bill Knight said the city needed to look at extending Ninth Street to help traffic congestion on Second Street.

There is still talk of extending Ninth Street from Brookdale Avenue to Power Dam Drive.

- Renee Larocque, a 17-year-old high school student, was crowned Queen of La Semaine Francaise. Princesses were Helen Bellefeuille and Denise Martin.

- A St. Andrew’s man convicted of robbing an east Cornwall convenience store at knife point and fleeing with $60 was given a three-year prison sentence.

L’ACNU recrute des jeunes ambassadeurs COMMUNQIUÉ DE PRESSE DE LE CDS

CORNWALL, Ontario - L’Association canadienne pour les Nations Unies (ACNU), en partenariat avec le Conseil de développement social de Cornwall et de la région (CDS), est fière d’offrir l’initiative ODD Réseau d’action jeunesse (RAJO) aux jeunes âgés de 15 à 25 ans de Cornwall et des comtés de Stormont, Dundas et Glengarry. Il s’agit d’une occasion unique de favoriser la participation citoyenne par le biais de la création d’initiatives communautaires liées aux objectifs de développement durable des Nations Unies. RAJO vise à améliorer la préparation des jeunes aux rôles de leadership, à la participation communautaire, ainsi qu’à renforcer la capacité des jeunes à prendre des mesures concrètes sur les questions qui les passionnent à Cornwall

et dans les comtés de SDG. Les jeunes ambassadeurs qui rejoignent RAJO bénéficieront d’une formation sur les compétences de leadership, d’un mentorat par les pairs, d’opportunités de réseautage, d’une micro-bourse et d’autres ressources pour les aider à créer et à mettre en œuvre des projets qui répondent aux problèmes urgents de Cornwall et de la région. Ce programme sera mis en œuvre par le biais du programme Génération ODD de l’ACNU. Les jeunes ambassadeurs RAJO pourront accumuler jusqu’à 120 heures de bénévolat et auront l’occasion de présenter leurs projets communautaires lors du symposium Génération ODD en mars 2022.

Examples de projets d’anciens participants: Karyl et son équipe ont créé Jékris-Inklusion,

une initiative de service dont l’objectif est de lutter contre le racisme et la perte des connaissances et des pratiques culturelles autochtones. Grâce à ce projet, les jeunes autochtones et non-autochtones échangent leurs savoirs par le biais de la communication écrite, notamment des lettres. Les objectifs de développement durable qu’ils ont choisis sont les suivants : #4: assurer une éducation de qualité inclusive et équitable, #10: réduire les inégalités dans les pays et d’un pays à l’autre, et #17: renforcer les moyens de mettre en œuvre le Partenariat mondial pour le développement et le revitaliser.

Melissa et Dina ont créé Healthy Minds pour répondre à l’objectif de développement durable #3: assurer une vie saine et promouvoir le bien-être de tous à tout âge. Par le biais

d’une plateforme en ligne, l’objectif de ce projet est de partager les ressources en matière de santé mentale disponibles pour les jeunes Canadiens, en mettant l’accent sur les besoins des jeunes autochtones, des réfugiés et des immigrants.

En plus de mettre en œuvre des projets de service communautaire, les membres du RAJO participeront à des réunions du conseil avec le CSD et les dirigeants et les fonctionnaires de la ville de Cornwall afin de défendre les intérêts des jeunes de Cornwall et des comtés de Stormont, Dundas et Glengarry, et de proposer des solutions uniques aux problèmes de ces collectivités.

Port Lands commence l’engagement public

10 - Le mercred i 9 juin, 2021

- Cornwall Express - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LA PORT LANDS PROJECT CORNWALL, Ontario - La Société de développement du port d’Akwesasne et la Société de développement du port de Cornwall (les copropriétaires) ont le plaisir d’annoncer que le projet des terrains du port entre maintenant dans sa première phase d’engagement public. Lundi, le 07 Juin 2021, à partir de 10 h, en consultant le site www.theportlands.org, les membres du public pourront participer à la première phase d’engagement pour aider à façonner l’utilisation future des terrains. Ce site Web offrira un court sondage, un tableau pour afficher des idées et un forum de discussion pour échanger avec d’autres membres de la communauté sur ce à quoi ressemblera l’avenir de ces terrains.

Par la suite, les copropriétaires participeront à de nombreux groupes de discussion en ligne au cours des prochains mois afin de solliciter les commentaires d’un large éventail de membres de la communauté sur l’avenir de ce

projet monumental. Les commentaires de la communauté constituent la partie la plus importante de ce projet ; ils aideront les copropriétaires à prendre des décisions qui reflètent les intérêts des deux communautés.

Le processus d’engagement sur le site web sera ouvert jusqu’au 31 juillet 2021 et les groupes de discussion seront organisés pendant les mois de juin et juillet.

Les questions doivent être adressées aux gestionnaires du projet (Société d’aide au développement des collectivités de Cornwall & les comtés) à l’adresse info@theportlands. org.

Contexte : En 2016, Transports Canada a cédé la parcelle de 16 acres du site du port de Cornwall aux communautés d’Akwesasne et de Cornwall, accompagnée d’une dotation d’un peu plus de 5 000 000 $ destinée à l’assainissement et au réaménagement des terres. L’objectif des copropriétaires, conjointement avec les commentaires du public, est

de transformer la propriété en un espace qui profitera aux deux communautés.

Conformément à l’accord conclu avec Transports Canada, le terrain ne peut être utilisé pour d’autres activités industrielles et

doit être réaménagé à des fins commerciales, résidentielles, touristiques ou une combinaison des trois. Pour plus d’informations, veuillez consulter le site www.theportlands. org .

La Conservation de la Nation Sud émet le Niveau I relatif aux conditions de bas niveau d’eau COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LA CNS

FINCH, Ontario - Malgré la pluie reçue cette semaine, la Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) a émis le Niveau I de bas niveau d’eau pour l’ensemble de son bassin versant dans l’Est de l’Ontario.

En raison d’un printemps plus sec que d’habitude et du manque de précipitations, les conditions dans le bassin versant de la Nation Sud atteignent maintenant le seuil établi par le Programme d’intervention en matière de ressources en eau de l’Ontario pour le Niveau I de bas niveau d’eau.

Les conditions de bas niveau d’eau sont déterminées en fonction des indicateurs de précipitations et de débit des cours d’eau. Le débit des cours d’eau dans le bassin versant de la CNS est inférieur à la moyenne pour cette période de l’année. Cependant, le manque de précipitations est le principal facteur de l’état

d’étiage actuel. Les données indiquent que les précipitations au cours des trois derniers mois ont été d’au moins 80 % inférieures à la normale.

Lorsque la région est au Niveau I, la CNS demande aux résidents et aux entreprises de réduire leur consommation d’eau de 10 % afin de contribuer à atténuer les effets des conditions de bas niveau d’eau. La consommation d’eau peut être réduite en limitant les utilisations non essentielles d’eau et avec les pratiques de conservation de l’eau suivantes : 1. Réparez toutes les fuites autour de la maison.

2. Si vous devez arroser votre pelouse, l’arrosage tôt le matin ou tard le soir réduit l’évaporation.

3. Utilisez un seau d’eau savonneuse pour laver votre voiture et rincez-la rapidement avec un tuyau.

4. Arrosez les plantes avec l’eau recueillie dans un baril de pluie.

Si vous devez faire couler le robinet, gardez l’excédent d’eau pour arroser les plantes.

Le Niveau I, parmi les trois degrés de bas niveau d’eau, indique qu’il existe un problème potentiel d’approvisionnement en eau si les tendances actuelles en matière de précipitations et de débit des cours d’eau persistent.

Le Niveau II indique que des problèmes mineurs d’approvisionnement en eau sont constatés, et que des mesures telles que la conservation d’eau et la restriction de consommation non essentielle d’eau sont adoptées, et le Niveau III indique que le système d’approvisionnement en eau ne peut plus répondre à la demande.

Dans le cadre du Programme d’intervention en matière de ressources en eau de l’Ontario, chaque office de protection de la nature forme

une équipe d’intervention en cas de bas niveau d’eau pour s’assurer que le public est averti à l’avance de la réduction de la disponibilité de l’eau et que les décisions appropriées sont prises par les intervenants locaux, dont les représentants des gouvernements provinciaux et municipaux, de l’agriculture et des groupes d’intérêts spéciaux.

La CNS continuera de surveiller les conditions du bassin versant et publiera des mises à jour au besoin.

Afin de mieux comprendre les conditions locales, les propriétaires fonciers, les entreprises et les industries sont invités à contacter la CNS s’ils rencontrent des problèmes inhabituels liés à l’eau.

Pour plus d’informations, veuillez contacter Katherine Watson ou Sandra Mancini au 1-877-984-2948 ou à info@nation.on.ca.

BBQ hut will grill up support for Carefor Hospice Cornwall NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

LUNENBURG, Ontario – Dan Pyke has worked to build an outdoor bar and grill, but this summer project is not for himself, and he has not done it alone.

Pyke decided to build this outdoor summer structure and give it to Carefor Hospice Cornwall to raffle off as a fundraiser. He had some help from some young student volunteers who he taught valuable building and woodworking skills as they built the bar and grill together.

Pyke has been doing welding and carpentry work for 36 years and said he was speaking to some parents who were looking to have some shop mentoring for their kids. Pyke said he got the idea for the fundraiser after speaking with a friend, Tina McMartin, who is a nurse.

“I thought if we were going to do a fundraiser, that we would do a decent fundraiser,” he said.

In total, Pyke had around 16 young shop students help him build the grill hut.

Pyke received a donation for some of the wood from Saw Mill Country Lane Fine Wood Products in Berwick, and got more wood at a discounted price from the Timber Mart in Ingleside.

Pyke began the project on the Victoria Day weekend and was assembling the final product on the weekend of Saturday, May 29.

The bar and grill hut, which is valued at $6,000 will be raffled off by Carefor Hospice Cornwall alongside a Green Egg Grill. Carefor will be selling 2,500 raffle tickets at $25 each starting next week and hope to raise $35,000.

Since the pandemics start, we are beginning to see a much brighter and permanent picture for the first time. Our COVID-19 case numbers across the province, and even more so in our region, are a fraction of the dangerous levels we experienced during most of April. To protect the progress made so far, our government made the difficult decision to continue with remote learning for all elementary and secondary students across the province for the remainder of this school year. While medical experts agreed that schools could safely reopen for the final three weeks, they also predicted that the resulting increase in COVID-19 cases would require the pushback of our Reopening Plan’s Step 1. We have come too far to jeopardize our return to a more normal summer when our parks and recreation programs open for our youth, and our businesses are allowed to reopen for the public to enjoy. The more contagious variants are a wildcard, and we have seen other countries forced to return to a lockdown because of their resistance to a single vaccine dose. Our plan allows the province to continue its focus on

accelerating COVID-19 vaccinations to support a safer summer and return to in-person learning in September. Please visit https://www. ontario.ca/page/reopening-ontario for complete details.

Our vaccination distribution has become increasingly well supplied and efficient, so much that we are now reducing the amount of time between the first and second doses. It also has been expanded to include youth 12 years old and older and should allow most teenagers to receive their first vaccine dose by the end of June. For the latest updates, visit www.eohu.ca.

The government continues to look at ways to support groups impacted by the pandemic.

We are making new investments in primary and post-secondary education, the tourism and travel sector, and seniors dental care, to name a few.

As always, I want to remind people to follow our health care guidelines and to stay safe and save lives.

LAST WEEK’S WINNER WAS JANIS PRICE

Reader says: Yes Virginia, there are still good people in this world. I am referring to a young gentleman who was working at the MacEwan gas station on Saturday night May 29th in Long Sault. This young man went beyond the call of duty. My 14 year old granddaughter (after experiencing a bad situation) was left stranded on a country road in Long Sault unable to make a call (cell phone had zero power) decided to walk to the gas station, unaware that it closed at 11:00 p.m.

Although this young man’s shift ended at 11:00 he waited for my granddaughter (after receiving a phone call from her frantic mother) to arrive not knowing how long it would take for her to get there nor how long it would take for me to get there from Cornwall. I had been there approximately 45 minutes earlier asking to use the phone in order to call my granddaughter (my cell phone was powerless) after being refused by a neighbouring coffee shop due to Covid. Nice to know some people are there for you in an emergency. No words can express how much your kindness was appreciated. May only good things come your way in the future!

Reader says: Just wanted to say that all small businesses are essential. Essential for the economy and for our well-being and they should be allowed to operate unless they can show us in black and white that they are a source for big break outs. Also the city or the townships should not collect any taxes for the time they can’t operate and charge them to Doug.
