After almost a year and a half, the end of this pandemic appears to be within reach.

Active cases of COVID-19 have dropped drastically as restrictions, and increased vaccinations take hold. As June closes, almost 80 percent of Ontarians have received their first vaccination, and 35 percent their second.

Step 1 will give way on Wednesday, June 30 to the next phase of our Reopening Ontario Plan, allowing us to enjoy our local sports leagues and more business openings. With steady vaccine shipments arriving weekly, plans are underway that will see everyone over the age of 12 years old fully vaccinated by the time school begins in September.

As we start to enjoy a more typical summer, I encourage residents to support our local businesses. They have made impressive strides to ensure you and their staff are safe during this pandemic. More clinics are being added every week to allow you to advance your second dose. Check the website at www. ontario.ca/bookvaccine or by calling 1-888999-6488 if you have a red and white OHIP card or need assistance for available appointments.

Choosing a retirement home

If you intend to move into a senior’s residence, choosing your new home should involve careful reflection and a lot of research.

In order to make the right choice, here are some important factors to consider.

1. Location: For many people, living close to their family is a top priority. Plus, if you opt for a retirement home in a familiar neighbourhood, it can help make the transition easier. You might also want to choose a residence with nearby amenities and a safe, accessible outdoor area.

2. Care: Consider both your current and longterm needs. Even if you’re largely independent now, you may eventually require assistance with personal care, laundry and housekeeping.

Many facilities also have special care units to accommodate you if there are changes to your health.

3. Activities: An extensive calendar of events and activities is a sign that the administration values your health and well-being. Access to a variety of physical, spiritual and social activities will keep you busy and help you flourish in your new home.

4. Dining experience: Access to delicious, nutritious food can significantly improve your quality of life. Find out if the menu offers a

Bringing world-class surgical technology to local breast cancer patients A few months ago, I introduced readers of Seaway News to CCH’s Dr. Sahar Shirazi, a general surgeon with specialization in breast oncology from the University of Ottawa. In early 2021, Dr. Shirazi began offering breast reconstruction surgery at CCH, a welcome new addition to the work our hospital offers local cancer patients.

“My own mother’s journey with breast cancer inspired me to help other women, like her surgeon helped her,” says Dr. Shirazi. “I’m proud to serve patients across this community, delivering opportunities that smaller centres can rarely provide.”

Working closely with CCH’s surgical and diagnostic imaging teams, Dr. Shirazi will soon pioneer another local first. On August 25, the Corus Caring Hearts Radiothon will raise funds for new surgical technology helping patients with nonpalpable breast cancer. With your

support, CCH will join a handful of hospitals across Canada offering Breast Seed Localization (BSL).

What is nonpalpable breast cancer?

Nonpalpable tumours can’t be found (or felt) during an exam, but they can be identified through ultrasounds, mammography or MRI. Standard surgical preparation is time-consuming, complex to schedule, and often uncomfortable for patients, requiring a wire to be inserted into the patient’s breast tissue hours before surgery.

How can BSL technology help? Using diagnostic imaging, a tiny locator “seed” is injected into the patient’s breast tissue up to 5 days before surgery. The seed is placed where the nonpalpable mass is located. The patient can’t feel the seed once it’s in place, greatly increasing their comfort level. During surgery, a probe is used to easily locate the seed,

allowing precise removal of the nonpalpable tumour. The locator seed is removed during surgery.

Important facts about Breast Seed Localization Technology: • More comfort & convenience for patients; more precision & flexibility for surgeons.

• Project will allow CCH to help 2-3 breast cancer patients each month.

• Cost is approx. $85,000. Additional funds raised from this year’s Radiothon will support urgent medical equipment needs benefitting patients across CCH. Your donations will help us make a difference!

Regional Emergency Order lifted after 455 days NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The municipalities of Cornwall, the United Counties of SD&G, and the United Counties of Prescott-Russell have all announced jointly that they are lifting the regional State of Emergency Order that was first issued on March 26, 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The announcement was made on Wednesday, June 30, 455 days after the order was issued.

“This summer, we will be able to enjoy

many of the things we’ve been looking forward to,” said Acting Mayor of the City of Cornwall, Todd Bennett. “The end of the state of emergency doesn’t mean the pandemic is over. Please continue to mask and sanitize while you’re enjoying your favourite warm-weather activities.”

The decision was made in consultation with Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Medical Officer of Health with the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU).

“While we appear to be emerging from the shadow of COVID-19, now is not the time for

complacency,” said United Counties of SD&G Warden Allan Armstrong. “I urge all residents who are eligible to receive a vaccine to book an appointment as soon as possible. We must also continue other health protocols like mask-wearing and physical distancing. I look forward to the day when this is all behind us, and through science-based decision making we will get there soon.”

As of June 29, there were just three active COVID-19 cases in the region, all in PrescottRussell with no one hospitalized.

Residents are reminded to remain vigilant and respect rules around masking and social distancing so that the EOHU region does not regress and see a new spike in cases.

Those who are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine but have yet to book an appointment are asked to do so by visiting the provincial booking website.

Please note that all business, public gathering, and mask wearing restrictions come from provincial orders and are not affected by the lifting of a regional State of Emergency.

CBEC hosts virtual Summer Companies launch NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall Business Enterprise Centre (CBEC) held their annual launch of their Summer Companies program on Monday, June 28. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was held virtually this year.

“The journey of a business owner is one that can span decades and can touch not just the lives of their employees but of their families,” said Bob Peters, The City of Cornwall’sDivision Manager for Economic Development. “Any successful business starts out with an idea . . . but what makes them a successful business is understanding your customers and understanding your business.”

“If there is anything you learn this summer, learning to think like your customers will be the hallmark of your success,” Peters added.

The Summer Companies program encourages students to become entrepreneurs by starting a summer business. Successful applicants receive $3,000 in start-up funding, as well as hands-on coaching from local business leaders.

“This program provides a great opportunity for our participants to develop entrepreneurial skills while making money at the same time,” said Candy Pollard, Business Consultant with the Cornwall Business Enterprise Centre.

“Through Summer Company, we are helping to train the business leaders of tomorrow.”

This year’s program saw six young entrepreneurs take their first steps into the business world.

This year’s businesses are: MathemaTech Tutoring and Computer Support by Afaq Virk: MathemaTech Tutoring and Computer Support will be offering a wide variety of services including such as, but not limited to: tutoring in a variety of subjects at

the elementary and intermediate level, proofreading and other similar academic services, technological support/consultation, game/ software development courses, UI/UX design, graphic/logo design, and virtual event hosting. www.mathematech.ca Forever Green Plant Shop by Connor Budz: Mr. Budz has amassed over 200 different cuts of rare and exotic plants in his own greenhouse, which he has readied for the launch of his new business: The Forever Green Plant Shop.

weeding, planting, and lawn edging.

Immediately Mr. Poirier-Hanniman noticed the opportunity in front of him, “There is a lot of demand in the town I live,” he explained, “there are plenty of people who either can’t, or don’t want to mow their lawns, and just from walking around you can see dozens of un-mowed lawns ready for a good clean-up.” www.poirierlawnandgardencare.com/ EzShop by Teethal Patel: With the wind in his sails, Mr. Patel completed much research before opening EzShop – an e-commerce solution for people looking for outdoor products, cellphone accessories, computer accessories, and more! www.facebook.com/ ShopEZR Ole Sugar Barn Ice Cream Stand by Rebecca MacIntoshL Cornwall Business Enterprise Centre Miss Macintosh created a business plan for her Ice Cream Shop, and then was

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Senior-Friendly Community Committee held their official launch ceremony for their Seniors on Wheels program on Tuesday, July 6, 2021.

Thanks to a $25,000 federal grant received by the committee through the New Horizons program, as well as much local community support, the committee was able to lease a pedicab.

The program, which is supported by the Seaway Valley Community Health Centre (SVCHC) will help seniors get out into the community this summer. Seniors will be able to book a cab on either the SVCHC website or the City of Cornwall website and a volunteer will take them for a short 30 minute ride. Rides begin to the east of the Cornwall Civic Complex near Marina 200 and Cornwall Transit will drive seniors to their pedicabs free of charge by calling 613-930-2636.

“This is a great tangible project that will improve the lives of not just seniors but citizens of all ages,” said Cornwall City Councillor Justin Towndale at the launch of the project.

Bernard Lamarche, one of the project leads thanked the community for their support. Not only has the project received support from the City of Cornwall, SVCHC, and the federal government, but also from Rotary Club of Cornwall Sunrise who contributed $3,000 to the project.

Lamarche told the gathered crowd that the launch of the Seniors on Wheels initiative has been years in the making and that he hoped that next year they will be able to lease more pedicabs to bolster the project.

Youth Achievement Award winners PROVIDED BY YOURTV CORNWALL CORNWALL, Ontario – The 2021 YourTV Youth Achievement Awards (YAA), Powered by the Optimist Club of Cornwall returned this year, after a one year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In a virtual ceremony on Monday, June 21st, 23 youth were recognized for their contributions to their neighborhoods, schools and the community.

“It was really important for us to make sure that this event took place this year.” says Gabriel Riviere-Reid, one of the producers at YourTV who worked on the project. “In a year where everyone has been through so much, we saw the need of recognizing these kids who not only persevered, but shined.”

“Their hard work, courage and dedication in these challenging times have shown that you can overcome obstacles to make our community a better place to live.” adds Scott Meyers, Manager of Programming and Community Relations for YourTV. Gabriel and fellow YourTV Producer Chris Rohde worked closely with the Optimist Club of Cornwall, with support from the four local school boards. Teachers and principals from area schools submitted nominations for the three categories (At My Best, Caring is Cool and Difference Maker) and four age categories (Grade 4-6, Grade 7-8, Grade 9-10 and Grade 11-12).

A judging a panel of Optimist Club members and YourTV staff selected 24 finalists, 12 of whom were selected as winners.

“It was very difficult in some cases to choose who the recipient was going to be,

because there are some great stories that were provided in the submissions” says Optimist Club of Cornwall President Terry Muir. Adds Gabriel, “Although there were winners and runners-up, at the end of the day every finalist was being recognized, and they all went home with a prize courtesy of the Optimist Club of Cornwall.”

Finalists received certificates from both MP Eric Duncan and MPP Jim McDonnell, as well as a brand new tablet, purchased by the Optimist Club. Although YAA is usually an in person event, the finalists were announced in a virtual event, picking up their prizes as the Bud Guillbeault Youth Centre on Friday, June 25th.

“We didn’t tell them what the prizes were ahead of time”, says Riviere-Reid. “It was amazing to see their faces when they realized what they were getting. It’s a token of thanks for what they are doing to make our area a better place.”

The event couldn’t be a success without the support and participation of local schools, and that starts at the top with Catholic District School Board Chair Todd Lalonde, as well as CDSBEO’s Karen O’Shaugnessy, who helps coordinate nominations from all boards.

“I always look at these children as those who go above the call of duty.” says Board Chair Lalonde. “Not necessarily looking for that medal or praise or even a pat on the back. But children who want to make a difference and do it in silent ways.”

The event also recognized one young man who took it upon himself to make his corner

of the world a better place. Elliot Lefebvre, a Grade 1 student who decided to help a friend whose brother was diagnosed with neuroblastoma cancer. He originally wanted to raise enough money to be able to buy the family each a happy meal to make them feel happy.

Elliot started making beaded bracelets and cat toys selling them for $2 each to sell to raise money for the family. Elliot was able to raise $1,450, which surpassed his goal of a happy meal. Despite being a few years younger than the Grade 4-6 category, YourTV decided to thank Elliot for his kindness by providing him with a swag bag, and a brand new tablet of his own. This was presented to him by Producer Bill Makinson in late May. All of this all just goes to show that the future is

in good hands.

“As volunteers that have been involved for awhile, we always worry that everything’s going to be over once we all age out and there will be nobody to follow up. But that couldn’t be further from the truth.” says Muir.

“The amazing things that our youth are doing in this community are making changes for the better.”

The YourTV broadcast of the awards ceremony premieres on Wednesday, June 30th at 7pm on Channels 11 / 700HD / EPICO100 for Cogeco subscribers. The program will re-air throughout the summer. YourTV Cornwall’s full program schedule can be found on their website, www.yourtv.tv/ cornwall.

Historic development on a historic site NICK SEEBRUCH

ging in size from 418 sq. ft. to 790 sq. ft.

“We have seen increased demand across our other properties and know that Prime Square apartments will be in demand,” said Godard. “At the same time, we also recognize the need to keep rents affordable and to create a positive living experience for our tenants.”

The project has received municipal support, with the City of Cornwall Brownfield program funding the remediation of the site in 2008, and more recently city Council approved a tax increment grant under the Heart of the City Community Improvement Program to facilitate development.

The project is projected to be completed by the end of 2022.

CORNWALL, Ontario – Tri-Star Construction is in the process of developing the northeast corner of Pitt and Second streets. Dubbed Prime Square, the new building will be five stories and feature 44 residential units and one ground floor commercial tenant.

“I am excited to get this project underway,” said J.C. Godard, President of Tri-Star Construction in a media release. “Prime Square will be an amazing place to live – with restaurants and shopping right next door and the waterfront just a short walk away.”

Tri-Star explains that the units will be geared to address the need for affordable housing in Cornwall with rent starting at $975 a month and units ran-

Open up to the idea of an open Pitt Street NICK SEEBRUCH

8 - Wednesday, July 7, 2021

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

The pandemic has thrown unprecedented adversity for local businesses. We’ve seen new innovative ideas from both provincial and local governments and entrepreneurs themselves to help get businesses back on their feet.

The City of Cornwall has undertaken one of those ideas by opening part of Pitt St. in the downtown to pedestrians.

This opportunity is giving businesses like restaurants that chance to expand their seating and retail shops more space to display their wares in a visible way.

I was downtown this weekend to show my support for local businesses and see this experiment in action.

As someone who doesn’t remember the Pitt St. Promenade, it was a unique experience to see the heart of the city open to pedestrians and free of vehicle traffic and the noise that comes with it.

It was fun to see residents walking down the middle of the street, enjoying the beautiful weather and ambiance of the core of our city.

It was nice to sit on a downtown patio without being interrupted by noisy cars or motorcycles revving their engines as they go by.

For the next nine weeks, Pitt St. between Second St. and 58 First St. will be closed to traffic, and the Cornwall community, businesses, and local government should take advantage of this opportunity to make it a success.

I would encourage the City of Cornwall to maybe move one of the pop-up shop c-cans to the closed part of Pitt St. Put one right in the middle of the road. If not to host a pop-up business, then perhaps Cornwall Tourism can setup an information booth there, or they can use it to rent out equipment like bikes.

Additionally, with COVID-19 infection rates in the region trending far down, and vaccination rates trending up it presents the opportunity to host small events or festivals in the closed part of the downtown. The science shows that the COVID19 virus is far less contagious in open air settings, and it is even safer now with most people having at least one dose of the vaccine.

Finally, there will once again be very few events this summer. People are craving something to look forward to and something to do and the City of Cornwall has created a space to hold such things. Local service clubs, non-profits, and the general public too have been given a canvas in the downtown and it is down to everyone to pick up a paint brush and try and fill that space.

Some of these ideas will have to wait until we enter Step Three of the provincial re-opening plan, but that is just a few weeks away, and most of us will likely have a “two dose” summer, so sooner rather than later I think we will see outdoor public gatherings become viable again. Perhaps Seaway Valley Wrestling (SVW) could do a show in the middle of Pitt St. SVW hasn’t held a show since the pandemic began and it would be great to see them back and bring a unique spectacle to the downtown at the same time.

City Council voted to close Pitt St. on the weekends to help local businesses.

They have led the horses to water, but now it is up to all of us to take a drink and make this experiment a success. Speaking of water, as a dog owner, having some water dishes out in the downtown would be a nice touch for all dog walkers during the summer.

As I said, the closure of Pitt St. is meant to help local businesses and it can do this in three ways, by giving restaurants more seating space, retail outlets more on street space to market their wares, and as a simple novelty to attract people to come downtown to see what it is like. Let’s give them something to see.

What do you think readers? Have you gone to see Pitt St. when it is opened to pedestrians? Email me a Letter to the Editor at nseebruch@seawaynews.media

From kitchen and garden waste to gardening gold All the talk of recycling organic waste to increase the life of the landfill has people thinking about composting. It may be a few years before we see the green bins at the curb and in the meantime we can all get a little practice at diverting some of our organic waste and to experience the magic of producing free organic garden fertilizer. It’s also fun to get small children involved. So – where to start?

CONTAINER: There are all shapes and sizes to fit small or large spaces. You can purchase one from a garden center, or you can make one using an online tutorial. Containers can be made from plastic storage tubs, wooden pallets, old garbage cans or even a section of chicken wire formed into a circle or square area. I also know someone who is super casual and just tosses the waste into a pile at the back of his property and covers it with leaves.

GREENS AND BROWNS: Layering fresh green kitchen and garden waste (think fruit and vegetable peelings, coffee grounds, tea leaves, eggshells, grass clippings, and vegetable plant remains) with dry, brown matter (like dead leaves, dead plants and weeds, and hay) is best. The green waste is nitrogen-rich and the brown waste is carbon-rich – both are ideal for developing good compost.

I keep a bag of leaves beside my compost bin and simply throw a handful of leaves over each pail of kitchen waste.

DON’Ts: Don’t put any meat, bones, fat or dairy products in your compost – it attracts critters! We’ll have to wait for the curbside pickup for that. Also don’t add any twigs or woody material – it will not break down and will make the compost hard to use later

TRANSITION CORNWALL+ JOHN TOWNDROW

MOISTURE: Your compost pile should be damp but not soaked. Layering greens and browns helps to keep the right moisture balance.

AERATION: The more active compost maker will turn it every few weeks so the organic material breaks down more quickly but even if you don’t, after a whole season I find that it still produces nice compost at the bottom of the bin.

USE OF COMPOST: Gardeners always say you can never have enough compost! Luckily, if you don’t produce enough yourself, compost is available free from the City of Cornwall.

It’s made in much the same way, using the leaves and yard waste. Visit the landfill site and see how they do it. There are piles of yard waste bags that get turned several times and over the course of a year – presto - chango - it turns into nice black compost.

To fertilize trees, shrubs, flowers, vegetables spread a 3-inch layer over the soil.

Over time, worms and rain water will push the compost into the soil, feeding your lawn and garden in the process.

OPINION

Schools produced survivors not graduates Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

“Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.”

-Psalm 127:3 “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

- Matthew 19:14 We all know that the Pope is a busy man.

You just can’t call up the Vatican and say, “How about next Thursday, say around noon?” Not unless you are getting there on Air Force One. But giving a delegation of Indigenous leaders an appointment for Dec. 20 to discuss the horrible residential school system, exacerbated by the discovery of hundreds of unmarked graves belonging to young kids “kidnapped” and forced to attend schools far from home, is a stretch.

The Church’s DNA is all over the residential school system. Roman Catholic religious orders – brothers and nuns – operated the schools. An estimated 150,000 children – First Nations, Inuit and Metis – went through the system. The schools didn’t produce graduates. They had survivors.

The Pope knows why the delegation is coming. He knows the sordid history. He is being asked to travel to Canada to apologize to Indigenous people. Perhaps a visit to Canada is asking too much. But at least fess up and send them home with an apology. Better yet, save them the trip. The vast majority of Canadian Catholics, practising or otherwise, would welcome an apology as a giant step in the healing process.

Meanwhile, it is interesting to watch Trudeau the Younger going about as if all the Liberal governments had no role in the

system. The fact is there was dual culpability. By financing the schools, the feds were enablers. The “dirty” work was shuffled off to the Church.

John A. Macdonald, Canada’s first prime minister, might have helped establish the school system but for the following 100 years federal governments supported the system. One of those governments included Pierre Elliott Trudeau.

Over to you J.T. BACK IN 1965: The idea of the wife of their pastor carrying the socialist banner in a federal election – or any election for that matter – was too much for a large swath of St. Paul’s United Church (First and Sydney) congregation to stomach.

The seeds of discontent were sown when Marjorie Ball, wife of Rev. Frank Ball, became the New Democratic Party candidate for the Stormont deferred federal election in July 1962. She finished fifth with 949 votes.

The election, deferred after Liberal candidate Albert Lavigne died, was won by city lawyer Lucien Lamoureux. It was a nail-biter.

The future Speaker of the House nipped incumbent Progressive Conservative Grant Campbell by 65 votes.

The discomfort in the pews came to a head in February 1965 when Ball tendered his resignation at the congregation’s annual meeting.

In a statement to the media, Ball said “smoldering opposition” to his ministry became organized after his wife became the NDP candidate. Many in the congregation felt that politics and religion – especially socialism – shouldn’t be put in the same blender. At the time, the national leader of the NDP was a Baptist minister called Tommy Douglas, who fought for our public health-care system.

Ball had at least one sympathetic ear on the church board who said certain members

of the congregation and board misunderstood the pastor’s motives and didn’t appreciate his work with families in need.

Ball might have been ahead of his time as a United Church pastor. Canada’s largest Protestant denomination was far more conservative in his day.

His sermons that touched on everything from the need for nuclear disarmament to social issues, many espoused by socialism, did not sit well with the conservative congregation.

In today’s world, Ball would be a good fit for a more progressive liberal United Church pulpit.

ALSO IN JULY 1965: • In an effort to put more police officers on the road, the Ontario Provincial Police in July 1962 announced that civilians would replace officers in detachment radio rooms. The move was aimed at putting more officers on the road.

However, applications from men only would be accepted. Staff Sgt. E. M. Richardson of District 11 headquarters in Long Sault pointed out that women would not be considered for the civilian jobs. The force wanted to leave the door open for experienced dispatchers to join the male-only force as police officers.

• Several Indian artifacts were uncovered on a piece of property being development along the St. Lawrence River west of Lancaster. Some of the items - pottery and spear points - found at the Tree Haven development were believed to date to 2000 B.C. • A mother of four was charged by the OPP with the stabbing death of her husband in Lancaster.

• A Bonville farmer was killed when struck by lightning.

• A lower Pitt Street fire damaged a novelty store, a barber shop and upstars apartments.

• Five people were left homeless when

fire heavily damaged a building at 10 Montreal Rd. • Cornwall Oddfellows purchased the former YMCA building on First Street West • Toronto Maple Leafs star Red Kelly was in Cornwall to campaign for Stormont Liberal candidate Lucien Lamoureux. Kelly was MP for Toronto West York.

• Three Cornwall high school graduates received football scholarships from U. S. Universities. Dave Still and Charlie Harrison were off to Colorado State while Gilles Leger was going to Washburn University in Kansas.

• HSPM third baseman Jack Murphy was the top hitter in the North End Fastball League. Roger Lamarche of Courtaulds held down second place.

• Cornwall Collegiate track star Bob Kinnear, 17, was named winner of the Jacques Richard Memorial Trophy as Cornwall’s top junior athlete. Runner-up was Chuck Charlebois of the Montreal Junior Canadiens.

HERE AND THERE: Dumb question of the week came from a television reporter who shouted out to Bill Cosby as he emerged from the slammer, “Mr. Cosby, does it feel good to be out of prison?” ... Does anybody know somebody who had the flu this past winter?

TRIVIA ANSWER A Sherbrooke Castors fan was arrested by city police just moments before the sixth game of the 1980 Quebec Junior Hockey League final (won by the Royals) after he tried to scalp a game ticket in the civic complex lobby.

TRIVIA In 1830 the First Street home of Guy Wood became the first city residence to have this: 1) A coal furnace, 2) Screened in porch, 3) Double windows, 4) Air conditioning, 5) Two-car garage.

QUOTED - “Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in a hospital bed dying of nothing.”

Can you hear me now?

Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

Of all the senses (sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing), there is no doubt as to which is the most important: common sense.

However, it would be pointless to do a column about that one, because that would mean I’d have to delve into ‘The Big Three’: Sex, Politics and Religion. I’m not an authority on them, so I choose to avoid stepping into those land-mined and booby-trapped fields.

“Listen up!”

Those of you born when cars had highbeam buttons and clutch pedals on the floor, split windshields but no turn-indicators may be turning a deaf ear to that. Gradual loss of hearing is one of the common afflictions that accompany aging. Some loss is avoidable, but steps to minimize loss were all too often not taken.

Those of you of the age that knows just about everything have excellent hearing, but are neglecting to protect it.

Just think of the pleasurable sounds that come with having good hearing: the first babblings of a baby; birds’ spring-time songs; bullfrogs’ basso profundo croaks; a cat purring as it kneads; coyotes’ yip, yip, yips; the evening serenades of crickets; the whir of a hummingbird’s wings; loons’ eerie calls; your lover’s soft “Yes!”; roosters’ reveille; the song of the whip-poor-will, the bird you’ve probably never seen; wolves’ hunting howls…

Then there are the essential useful sounds: the camera’s click that confirms focus or shutter release; engine knocking and clatter, suggests a need for valve adjustment; the engine’s screaming is the prompt for shifting to a higher gear; the off, on, off, on of the well’s pump asks, “Is the toilet’s flapper unseated? Is there a tap dripping?”

If you’ve ever listened to the entertaining and informative NPR radio series “Car Talk”,

by Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers”, (Tom

and Ray Magliozzi) you will understand why some older car mechanics make diagnoses by asking, “Does it sound like this?”, or “Let’s hear you do an imitation.”

As a long-time aircraft spotter, I treasure my still intact sense of hearing. With accuracy that astounds non-aerophiles, by hearing alone, I can identify aircraft engine types: piston radial vs. Rotax-type vs. turboprop vs. jet. In addition, common aircraft types can be identified: DC-3 vs. Hercules vs. Harvard vs. ultralight vs. seaplane vs. helicopter.

God gave us not just one ear, but two, for a good reason. Having two ears confers stereophonic acuity. That tells me the direction to look for the yet unseen approaching aircraft. A hunter with acute hearing swings his gun at the part of the forest from which the attacking bear will emerge.

Protect your hearing: avoid being near the speakers at a rock concert. Ear muffs for winter, ear guards when operating heavy machinery. Otherwise, when Carrie Underwood sings “Do you hear what I hear?”, you’ll have to say that you don’t hear a thing.

“CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?” – He was The Verizon Man since 2002, but he’s now talking it up for Sprint. Apparently, if it’s a long -distance call, wildly gesturing while you speak greatly improves reception.

“StormFisher and the Ontario Government share a vision of an Ontario with less waste going to landfills, more clean energy being created here at home, and more jobs and investment in rural Ontario. The changes announced today regarding on-farm anaerobic digestion will help with all of these goals,” said Brandon Moffatt, Vice President of Development, StormFisher. “The agricultural industry plays a vital role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

renewable natural gas is a great step forward that will lead to significant economic development in rural Ontario and will support our farmers in diversifying their revenues.”

Changes to regulations under the Nutrient Management Act will create more opportunities for farmers to treat on-farm materials as well as other types of off-farm food and organic waste materials in on-farm regulated mixed anaerobic digestion facilities. This will enable an increase in on-farm production of biogas to generate renewable natural gas and will provide Ontario farmers with a new source of on-farm income.

The changes announced today encourage innovation and growth while also maintaining environmental protections through additional requirements for odour control, material handling prior to land application, digester tank design and setbacks.

ONTARIO - The Ontario government is changing biogas rules to create new ways for farmers to expand the emerging biogas and renewable natural gas market in the province, creating economic opportunities while maintaining the province’s strict environmental protections.

The regulation changes will enable new on-farm biogas systems and expansion of existing systems to be approved more easily and at a lower cost to help ensure that Ontario continues to be a biogas sector leader in Canada. The changes will also help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by diverting waste from the landfill through increased maximum allowable limits and new types of off-farm anaerobic digestion materials (such as food processing waste and source

separated organics) and by encouraging production of renewable natural gas.

“By reducing regulatory burden for on-farm anaerobic digesters, we can provide economic solutions to divert more valuable food and organic waste from landfills, while maintaining environmental protections by encouraging the recycling of nutrients and reducing greenhouse gas emissions,” said Lisa Thompson, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. “We’re saving farm businesses time and money to allow them to grow untapped economic opportunities and take advantage of the emerging renewable natural gas market.”

“Using farm waste to generate renewable n atural gas is win-win for farmers and the environment: not only does it give farmers the opportunity to use materials that would otherwise go to waste, they are also able to reduce

Fouilles des sites d’anciens pensionnats autochtones Où en est l’Ontario ?

PAR ÉMILIE PELLETIER, INITIATIVE DE JOURNALISME LOCAL ONTARIO - Plusieurs provinces ont déjà entamé les fouilles sur les sites d’anciens pensionnats autochtones à la recherche de dépouilles d’enfants autochtones y ayant été enterrés. Le gouvernement ontarien a-t-il commencé ce processus ? Où en sommes-nous, dans la province ?

Depuis que les restes de 215 enfants ont été retrouvés près de l’ancien pensionnat pour Autochtones à Kamloops, en ColombieBritannique, ce genre de nouvelles ne fait que s’accumuler. À la fin du mois de juin, 751 tombes anonymes près de l’ancien pensionnat pour Autochtones de Marieval, en Saskatchewan, ont été découvertes.

Cette semaine, la communauté autochtone Lower Kootenay, elle aussi en ColombieBritannique, a révélé avoir trouvé 182 tombes non marquées à proximité de l’ancien pensionnat St. Eugene.

Et en Ontario ? « Le travail ne fait que commencer », a

indiqué au Droit un porte-parole du ministère ontarien des Affaires autochtones, questionné à savoir si les fouilles aux sites d’anciennes écoles résidentielles sont commencées. « Le gouvernement de l’Ontario s’est engagé avec les dirigeants autochtones pour établir un processus de collaboration qui éclairera et guidera ce travail difficile et fournira un soutien aux communautés et aux survivants. » Ainsi, si les recherches archéologiques n’ont pas encore débuté, c’est parce que la province souhaite s’assurer de la pleine collaboration des communautés autochtones, afin que ce soient elles qui déterminent les étapes pertinentes à suivre dans ce processus. « Nous savons que ce travail initial est la première étape d’un processus beaucoup plus vaste. Toute action découlera des souhaits des familles et des communautés autochtones touchées et toutes les phases de travail entreprises seront dirigées et soutenues par la communauté. » Le 15 juin, le gouvernement Ford s’est engagé à octroyer 10 millions $ pour financer

les fouilles sur les lieux de sépulture des pensionnats autochtones, et a promis qu’il offrirait un soutien aux personnes autochtones touchées par ces événements traumatisants, selon leurs besoins particuliers.

Les injustices vécues par les communautés autochtones du Canada sont bien documentées.

En 1894, la Loi sur les Indiens a été modifiée pour rendre obligatoire la fréquentation des écoles résidentielles pour Autochtones.

Au pays, entre 1870 et 1996, plus de 150 000 enfants autochtones ont été arrachés à leur famille et à leur communauté et envoyés dans ces pensionnats.

Il y avait 18 pensionnats autochtones en Ontario, selon la Commission de vérité et réconciliation du Canada, le dernier fermant ses portes en 1991.

Depuis, les sites ont soit été réaffectés, soit été abandonnés ou détruits.

Les recherches de la Commission ont permis d’identifier 12 lieux de sépulture non marqués en Ontario, mais il y en a probablement d’autres, selon des chercheurs.

Environ 8000 des quelque 80 000

Maintien des conditions de bas niveau d’eau FINCH, Ontario - Malgré la pluie reçue en juin, l’équipe d’intervention en cas de bas niveau d’eau de la Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) a maintenu l’avis de sécheresse au niveau 1 pour l’ensemble de son bassin versant dans l’Est de l’Ontario le 30 juin 2021.

En raison d’un printemps plus sec que d’habitude et du manque de précipitations, les conditions dans le bassin versant de la rivière Nation Sud atteignent le seuil établi pour que soit déclaré le niveau 1 dans le cadre du Programme d’intervention en matière de ressources en eau de l’Ontario.

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. Le manque de précipitations est le principal facteur de l’état d’étiage actuel. Les données indiquent que les précipitations des trois derniers mois étaient d’au moins 80 % inférieures à la normale.

Lorsque le niveau 1 est atteint, la CNS demande aux résidents et aux entreprises de réduire leur consommation d’eau de 10 % afin d’atténuer les répercussions du bas niveau d’eau. La consommation d’eau peut être réduite en limitant les utilisations non essentielles et en adoptant les pratiques de conservation de l’eau suivantes : Réparer toutes les fuites autour de la maison.

COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LE BSEO

pour laver votre voiture et rincez-la rapidement avec un tuyau.

4.

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

Si vous devez faire couler le robinet, conservez le surplus d’eau pour arroser les plantes.

Parmi les trois niveaux de sécheresse, le niveau 1 signifie qu’il existe un problème potentiel d’approvisionnement en eau si les conditions relatives aux précipitations et aux débits des cours d’eau perdurent. Le niveau 2 indique que des problèmes mineurs d’approvisionnement peuvent survenir. Le niveau 3 signifie que l’approvisionnement en eau ne peut satisfaire 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 soit averti à l’avance de la réduction de la disponibilité en eau et que les décisions appropriées sont prises par les intervenants locaux, dont les représentants des gouvernements provincial et municipaux, du secteur agricole 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 communiquer avec la CNS s’ils éprouvent des problèmes inhabituels liés à l’eau.

Pour de plus amples renseignements, veuillez communiquer avec Katherine Watson ou Sandra Mancini au 1-877-984-2948, ou par courriel à info@nation.on.ca.

A caller wonders who did it? Administration, councillors or the Chamber of Commerce. Two surveys both over 80 % suggested not to shut down. Surveys don’t count unless you agree with the minority. Pitt Street looks terrible in fact shameful now that they shut down one half of Pitt from Second to First St. Tourists will be afraid to drive down with dividers in the middle of the street along with the small parking areas filled with tables, chairs and people.

Even in a Ward system the majority rules. This will cause a lot of grief for others and to think, we the taxpayers are paying for this.

Reader says: Reader wants to let people know that you need to book an appointment to have a blood test done. This 90 year old PHARMACY PHARMACIE waiting in line for an hour to be told that she couldn’t get her blood test done because she didn’t have an appointment. They gave her one and now she has to return again.

Without a computer and not having the phone number of the lab to call she is wondering how do people book an appointment.

Reader says: Not once during the entire pandemic was I required to show identification, give my name or address to enter any establishment. All I needed to do was wear a mask and comply with the distancing rules. Now at the end of the pandemic when restrictions are lifting and shopping is virtually a free for all, why do I need to “register” to enter the farmers market in Cornwall. Its and open air marketplace, no different than any road side farmer’s stand. I refuse to pander to these requirements, made up and enforced by those in charge of this market. Get with the times or get out of the market. I’m not the only one who walked away at the entrance.

No wonder the market is empty!
