FRONT PAGE STORY

Innovative program supports those with dyslexia NICK SEEBRUCH

She started searching for solutions when her youngest daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia as well. Ingrid explained that she worked with professionals to create ReadLS, whichpulls from various different strategies and programs to provide a one-stop shop for dyslexia therapy, with the goal of the program being accessibility.

“I didn’t want any aspect of the program to make any user feel like a failure,” she said.

The program has found hundreds of users in countries like Canada, the United States, Brazil, Australia, and South Africa with pending approval in Norway and Kuwait.

For more about the ReadLS program or to become a content provider, please visit their website at lsworks.org

MARTINTOWN, Ontario – ReadLS is a program developed by someone with dyslexia to help others living with dyslexia.

Created by the Poupart family, ReadLS targets key areas that those living with dyslexia tend to struggle with.

The 40 to 50-day program consisting of cognitive therapy, speed reading and reading exercises does not cure dyslexia, but rather strengthens parts of the brain that are key to reading by developing new connections and pathways. The program features gamified sessions which make learning not only productive, but also fun.

“From this perspective it is helpful for

those who have struggled with other avenues such as tutoring,” said Erika Poupart, who did the graphic design for the program.

ReadLS was developed by Ingrid Poupart, who has over 30 years of experience in the education field along with her daughter Erika, who did the graphic design, and Chris, who did the programming.

Ingrid, herself lives with dyslexia as does her youngest daughter.

“The struggles were incredible,” she said.

“You always felt stupid and never wanted to read.”

She explained that for those who struggle with reading, problem solving is something that comes naturally, and that is what she wanted to do with ReadLS, help solve the

problem of dyslexia.

“If there is a problem presented to me, I will find a way to solve that problem,” she said.

Ingrid explained how even in high school, she would come up with creative ways to deal with her dyslexia, including organizing a strike in Grade 10 in support of teachers, but also to avoid having to read in front of her class.

Ingrid recalled how in her first job at a record company how she would be praised by her employer for bringing work home with her, but in truth, she was bringing work home with her so her husband could read it to her.

“I thought that if you were born with dyslexia, it was something you were stuck with,” Ingrid said.

As South Glengarry Council continues to move forward with positive change, I would like to start by saying thank you. Thank you to my fellow Council members for continuing to serve with compassion and leadership.

Thank you to Township staff for their commitment and service to South Glengarry. And thank you to everyone who has taken the time to reach out over the last few weeks.

The past 18 months have seen many unexpected challenges, but I am encouraged by our local vaccination rates. We can all see that getting back to normal is right around the corner!

What’s more normal than visiting the

Williamstown Fair? I personally would like to invite you and your family to the 210th Williamstown Fair the weekend of August 7th. The extraordinary volunteers that make the Fair happen every year didn’t let a pandemic stop them! With family fun and health and safety top of mind, they have created a drive-thru edition which will continue one of South Glengarry’s most valued family traditions.

At the Township Office, our Building and Development Department has seen double the amount of new residential permits in comparison to 2020. Our Recreation Department is working together with the

BGC Glengarry Youth to administer a popular summer day camp program in Williamstown.

Our Roads and Waste Management Department has seen the start of construction on the new 10 bay municipal garage, and I am happy to report high participation 3 MINUTES rates for the Food Cycler Waste Reduction WITH THE Pilot Program introduced in June.

Have you recently moved into a seniors’ residence, or do you plan to make the transition in the near future? If so, creating a budget will help you avoid unpleasant surprises, enable you to treat yourself on occasion and ensure financial security during this chapter of your life. Here’s how to do it.

IDENTIFY YOUR SOURCES OF INCOME To determine how much money you’ll have available each month, add up your various sour­ ces of income. These may include: • A registered pension plan (RPP) • Canada pension plan (CPP) payments • An old age security (OAS) pension • A registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) • A tax­free savings account (TFSA) CALCULATE YOUR MONTHLY EXPENSES Start with the price of housing at your seniors’ residence, which may include the costs for heating, electricity and meals. The amount might also cover expenses for nursing care, television, leisure activities and more. Additionally, list any monthly expenses that aren’t included in your rent like laundry services, parking and haircuts.

Explorez les aires de conservation de la CNS cet été COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LA CNS FINCH, Ontario - À l’approche de la longue fin de semaine du mois d’août, la Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) invite le public à profiter de ses espaces naturels publics d’une superficie de plus de 12 000 acres, dont un réseau de 14 aires de conservation d’utilisation diurne, et ce, gratuitement comme toujours.

Qu’il s’agisse de renouer avec la nature lors d’une randonnée pédestre à l’aire de conservation de la Forêt Warwick à Berwick, de mettre à l’eau un kayak à l’aire de conservation du Pont Cass à Winchester pour une matinée paisible, ou de déguster un pique-nique à l’aire de conservation du Parc McIntosh à Berwick, la CNS continue d’offrir un havre de répit pour la santé physique et mentale à plus de 62 000 visiteurs en 2021 seulement. « De plus en plus, nos aires de conservation sont considérées comme des destinations, non seulement par les résidents locaux, mais aussi par ceux venant de municipalités avoisinantes, ce qui en fait une excellente attraction touristique et un avantage pour nos municipalités membres », a déclaré Shannon Gutoskie, Spécialiste des communications de la CNS. « Ces touristes

contribuent souvent à l’économie locale et découvrent les choses remarquables que nos collectivités ont à offrir. » Comme la province en est maintenant à l’étape 3 de réouverture, la CNS demande à tout le monde de se conformer aux directives de la Santé publique. « Plusieurs se rendent à l’extérieur pour profiter de la nature et rechercher un peu de solitude. Afin que tous ait l’occasion de profiter de leurs expérience en plein air, nous rappelons aux gens de tenir leurs animaux en laisse, d’éviter de faire trop de bruit et de remporter avec eux ce qu’ils ont apporté », a déclaré Gutoskie.

En plus de ces 12 000 acres, la CNS gère 20 000 acres de forêts communautaires dans l’Est de l’Ontario. De nombreuses aires de conservation publiques et d’utilisation diurne ont été données à l’Office de protection de la nature par l’entremise du Programme d’acquisition de terres de la CNS afin de préserver l’héritage naturel des donateurs et d’offrir aux gens un endroit pour sortir et se retrouver dans la nature.

COVID-19: seuls 3% des Ontariens ont reçu une première dose en juillet

4 - Le mercredi 28 juillet, 2021

- Cornwall Express - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

PAR ÉMILIE PELLETIER, INITIATIVE DE JOURNALISME LOCAL ONTARIO - Au cours du mois de juillet, seulement 3% de la population ontarienne a décidé de se rouler la manche pour recevoir une première dose d’un vaccin contre la COVID-19.

En Ontario, 70% de la population totale est vaccinée contre la COVID-19, avec au moins une dose.

Depuis le 30 juin, le pourcentage de la population n’ayant reçu aucune dose est passé de 33% à 30%, une faible diminution si l’on compare au rythme de vaccination des derniers mois dans la province.

Le nombre de doses quotidiennes des vaccins contre la COVID-19 administrées en Ontario est en chute libre depuis le début du mois de juillet.

L’Ontario a prouvé, à la fin du mois de juin, être en mesure de vacciner plus de 200 000 personnes par jour contre le coronavirus.

Or, après avoir vacciné près de 270 000 personnes, le 8 juillet, la cadence de vaccination a graduellement ralenti.

Dimanche, à peine 66 000 personnes ont reçu une dose de l’un des vaccins contre la COVID-19.

«Un droit constitutionnel» La dernière fois que le niveau de vaccination était si bas en province était le 3 mai, lorsque l’Ontario était toujours aux prises avec des problèmes d’approvisionnement

des doses.

Le gouvernement ontarien n’a fait part d’aucune intention de faire usage de stratégies pour convaincre davantage de citoyens à se faire immuniser contre le virus.

Le fait de ne pas se faire vacciner contre la COVID-19 représente «un droit constitutionnel», selon le premier ministre ontarien Doug Ford, qui reste ferme face à son opposition au passeport vaccinal en province.

Même s’il croit essentielle la vaccination de la population, «personne ne devrait être forcé de faire quoi que ce soit», juge-t-il.

La santé publique de l’Ontario a répertorié 119 nouveaux cas de COVID-19, dimanche.

Les autorités sanitaires ont comptabilisé, depuis leur arrivée sur le territoire ontarien, 145 405 cas confirmés du variant Alpha, 1492 cas confirmés du variant Bêta, 5142 cas confirmés du variant Gamma et 3916 cas confirmés du variant Delta.

On déplore trois nouveaux décès causés par le coronavirus, portant le bilan total à 9316 victimes de cette maladie contagieuse.

Dimanche, 96 personnes étaient hospitalisées en raison de la COVID-19, et 131 étaient aux soins intensifs en raison d’une maladie grave liée au virus.

La même journée, 11 930 tests de dépistage ont été effectués en Ontario.

Cet article a été initialement écrit pour et publié dans Le Droit.

Le BSEO recommande sans réserve le mélange des vaccins contre la COVID-19 COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LE BSEO CORNWALL, Ontario - Le Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario (BSEO) recommande de continuer à mélanger les vaccins à ARNm contre la COVID-19 (Pfizer et Moderna), ainsi que le mélange du vaccin d’AstraZeneca et d’un vaccin à ARNm. Le mélange de vaccins s’est avéré sécuritaire et efficace, en plus de permettre à plus d’Ontariens de raccourcir le délai pour recevoir leur deuxième dose.

La Province va continuer à suivre les directives du Comité consultatif national de l’immunisation (CCNI), affirmant que le mélange de vaccins est sans danger. Des

études à cet effet du Royaume-Uni, l’Espagne et l’Allemagne ont démontré non seulement qu’il est sécuritaire de mélanger les vaccins, mais aussi que cela favorise une forte réponse immunitaire.

Le BSEO continue de surveiller les données et collaborer avec la Province, Santé Canada, le CCNI et le gouvernement fédéral pour veiller à la santé et la sécurité de tous ceux qui reçoivent un vaccin contre la COVID-19.

Pour les plus récents renseignements sur les vaccins contre la COVID-19, incluant la façon d’y accéder, consultez le BSEO.ca/ vaccins.

LETTERS EDITOR TO THE

It’s Not Just an “Oil Change”

email: nseebruch@seawaynews.media

Enough encroachment on the Marsh Dear Editor, In discussions with some of our/my Municipal Representatives about this matter I have been reminded about the present human presence through the marsh via visitors, and the homes that reside around and in the middle of the marsh.

While it is true that there is a human presence in and around the Marsh, such as visitors using the boardwalk and the development already situated in the marsh, namely the Tree Haven neighbourhood, I believe there has to be a time when we say ENOUGH and that time is NOW. We know there is wildlife (species at risk) nesting in the eastern part of the marsh. I cannot think of any reason why the wildlife in the Marsh should have to live with the stress of further human encroachment, activity, garbage, and noise. Humans have already inhabited the majority of shoreline along the St. Lawrence leaving little waterfront/wetland space for our finned, feathered, and furred brothers and sisters to live in peace. They deserve our respect and care. Furthermore, it

is required for their survival.

Personally, I wish to see this wetland and our wildlife thrive and flourish and I innately know the health of human life is dependent on theirs. Whatever the next steps entail, I am asking my Municipality, my Council, Councilor Lang & Deputy Mayor Warden who sit on the RRCA board, to set the bar high for others to follow by incorporating the permaculture principles of People Care, Earth Care, Fair Share in all that they do.

Look I don’t have a degree, I am not a biology specialist, however I read a lot by such people and one thing I know for sure is that we can’t keep removing elements of the house that we call Cooper Marsh, the foundation being ‘free from human’ encroachment, and expect that this precious ecosystem is going to continue to stand and survive.

I am proposing, and asking ALL our decision makers to please keep their eyes on co-flourishing.

Best regards, Jacqueline Milner, South Glengarry, Ontario

Our planet is more important important than material things?

We need our wetlands and its immediate surroundings to be left intact. Our planet is suffering so much as it is!

As Dr John Liu stated (TREEHUGGER.COM) “Currently, humanity faces existential threats, it is up to everyone alive today to stand up and face them.”

Thank you for giving me this chance to express my concerns.

Diane B. Lalonde, Cornwall, Ontario

Opposed to Cooper Marsh development Dear Editor, I read your 25th July article. I am completely opposed to the development of the land adjacent to Cooper’s Marsh. It ought to be against the law to fill in a Marsh when you consider the at-risk of extinction species that inhabit this area.

We have to preserve and protect what few undeveloped areas are left and restore the lost habitat. It can be done. We have exam-

ples of restoration even in our region.

I now live in Quebec but I used to live in Cornwall. It really matters to me that the land adjacent be purchased by the organization and brought back to its original purpose. To be an extension of Cooper’s Marsh.

Sincerely, Shirley Jones Dunham, Quebec

Dear Editor, I read your article in the Seaway News. I am very concerned about land being developed adjacent to Cooper Marsh. That is why I was present at the protest in Lancaster and sent a letter to the South Glengarry council to voice my concerns.

I am disgusted by the fact that making money is always more important than saving living beings such as birds ( Bittern Heron) and turtles (Blandings) who are an endangered species and who should be protected.

Isn’t our planet and its living beings more

OVER 96.14% OF ALL HONDA MODELS SOLD IN CANADA IN THE LAST 10 YEARS ARE STILL ON THE ROAD TODAY V Rev. Robert Adams at St. Johns Presbyterian Church.

THE ALL-NEW 2022 CIVIC IS HERE

(Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News).

Buying vaccines with a buzz cut

NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Reverend Robert Adams of St. John’s Presbyterian Church is getting ready to lose some of his locks for a good cause.

Adams will be getting a buzz cut haircut to raise funds and awareness around the importance of getting vaccinated against COVID-19.

Rev. Adams has been raising funds which he will donate to the Love My Neighbour Project.

The Love My Neighbour Project is a coalition of a range of faith communities who are working together to raise money for UNICEF to help that organization purchase vaccines for vulnerable populations around the world.

“There are many people in many different countires in the world who have received no shots and we know the pandemic won’t be over until everyone has received their vaccine,” Adams said.

For $25 Canadian, UNICEF is able to purchase two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine and cover per-person cost for transport, cold chain protection, health worker training, and safe disposal of needles and waste.

Adams, who hasn’t had a haircut since the last provincial COVID-19 lockdown, hopes to raise $2,500. So far, he has collected $1,375.

Adams will be getting his haircut on Sunday, Aug. 1. Those wishing to contribute to his fundraiser can do so online at his online fundraising page. The Government of Canada has committed to matching all funds contributed to the Love My Neighbour Project on a one-toone basis.

Mental health really does matter NICK SEEBRUCH

8 - Wednesday, July 28, 2021

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

In August, the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) will be ending their mass vaccination clinics. This is being done as we reach higher and higher numbers of fully vaccinated residents in the region. Six months ago, we could hardly think that we would be here, but while numbers of active cases are going down, and the vaccination rate is going up, I still worry that the public health effects of this pandemic will not be leaving us that soon.

This pandemic has taken a toll on the mental health of residents in this region, as we have previously documented in our coverage in Seaway News.

In March I spoke with executives of local crisis agencies, such as Sexual Assault Support Services for Women, Maison Baldwin House, and the Children’s Aid Society and they all told me the same thing. They believe that mental health is deteriorating in the region, that they have seen increased demands on their services, and that they are worried it will get worse.

I’m worried that it is getting worse. Our website publishes local death notices and I’ve noticed a disturbing trend over the last few months since I started looking at this issue more closely. Each death notice comes with a picture, and as I have been checking through these notices regularly, I’ve started noticing a pattern, and it began with the pictures.

Usually, I’ll see a death notice with a picture of a man, a young man, sometimes a little older, but always far too young to be appearing in the death notices section.

They usually begin the same. “. . . passed away suddenly . . .” And they often end the same “. . . Memorial Donations to the Centre for Addictions and Mental Health would be appreciated by the family.”

I never want to assume, but the above pattern paints a stark picture. By my counting over the past two months alone, there have been at least four such death notices, all of men between the ages of 20 and 50. One death to suicide is one too many.

For a variety of reasons, the pandemic has put a strain on mental health.

Everyone is different, everyone is going through their own problems, but we’ve all been going through this pandemic and it has created an extra amount of pressure that have pushed some past the point of tolerance. Whether it is the stress of loss of work due to a lockdown, not being able to see a loved one who is in the hospital or long-term care, or simply being stuck at home, this pandemic has presented as many challenges to mental health as it has to our physical health.

Our mental health should be treated the same way as our physical health, and I hope that the EOHU tackles this issue with the same vigor and efficiency that they did with the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccinations.

Furthermore, I want our MPP Jim McDonell and our MP Eric Duncan to use their positions to advocate for changes in our healthcare system. There are far too few mental health resources out there and therapy can be expensive making it inaccessible to some, and in often cases inaccessible to those who need it the most.

Those who are struggling with their mental health should receive the same supports in our healthcare system as those who suffer from physical ailments because the threats to well-being and life are often just as dire.

Until the government steps up and prioritizes the entirety of public health, not just the physical, there are things that we can do as individuals to help one another. First is to fight the stigma around mental health. Would you shame someone who has cancer? No. Then we should not feel ashamed of our mental health either.

Listen to those around you. Check-in on people. Be patient. Be kind.

What do you think readers of the current treatment of mental health by our healthcare system?

Leadership in a time of climate change “Whether we like it or not – whether we choose to “believe” the science or not – the reality of climate change is upon us. It’s affecting everything: not just weather patterns, ecosystems, ice sheets, islands, coastlines, and cities across the planet, but the health safety and security of every person alive and generations to come.” (Hawken, 2017, p. ix) Dr. Johnathan Foley, from the Foreword to the book ‘Drawdown’ There have been calls for (or criticism of) governments at all levels to act on climate change but it’s important to remember that governments, in most cases, follow rather than lead - largely because they know the voters have to be onside if any initiative is to be adopted. By blaming government for inaction, we are, in a way, deflecting the responsibility away from ourselves. So - it’s up to us as citizens to lead, especially when related to our carbon footprint.

We all have the power to make a difference.

It’s been said that “every dollar we spend is a vote for the kind of world we want to live in”.

The way we can do this - individually and collectively as a community, is to be really conscious in the choices we make – especially now, after a pandemic, we have a chance to set a new course for the future.

Are we making choices based only on what our friends and family are doing? Are we making a purchase just because we can afford it instead of filling an actual need? Are we choosing a path of only convenience in our behavior or perhaps because “that’s the way we’ve always done it.”? Are we considering seven generations in our actions, as indigenous elders teach, or are we using only price and cost as the determining factors in our consumer choices, rather than long term impacts or hidden costs (have you ever asked yourself – “how can this product be so

cheap”)?

Transition Cornwall+ began twelve fifteen years ago, with the idea that by acting together locally at the community level, we can quickly and effectively generate solutions to the climate crisis, without waiting for larger organizations and government agencies to act. Of course, it’s still important to press governments and corporations to make the changes necessary but they tend to be slower to act so it’s up to us to lead by example and to make our voices heard!

Here are just a few of the quick and easy actions we can all take on our own that make a difference. Reduce our waste – especially food; grow a bit of our own food on our own or on a friend’s land and use local markets to increase the plants in our diet and reduce food miles; use a clothesline; plant a tree; drive less and walk, bike or take the bus more; avoid the drive-throughs (and all that idling); spend our holidays close to home, mow a bit less lawn, replace any gas powered-equipment and appliances with electric versions when they can no longer be repaired and finally, make our own list of actions we are determined to take.

None of these require any government action whatsoever and all of them will save you money!

This month check out all the events at Cornwall’s first Ecoday, Saturday, August 7.

OPINION

U. S. prison system makes a Wise move Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

If you still have Willie Wise on your Christmas card list, you might take note of his new address.

The former owner of the Cornwall/Newmarket Royals, disbarred-lawyer and city council alumnus is now a resident at the Federal Correctional Institution in Bastrop, Texas, about 30 miles from the state capital, Austin.

He had been doing his time at a prison in the San Francisco area.

Willie is doing 22 years for bilking 1,200 people out of $75 million in a Ponzi scheme that allowed him to cruise the fast lane. If he goes the distance, he will be 84 when released in November 2030.

About 1,100 convicts call the low security prison home-away-from-home. Sort of a Club Med atmosphere as U.S. federal prisons go.

Along with the stiff sentence, he was ordered to pay back millions to the investors he bilked, but folks aren’t holding their breath on that one.

By most accounts, he blew through at least $50 million.

We’re not sure how Willie is spending his time – opposed to the days of spending other people’s money – but the prison offers numerous programs to prepare the cons for life on the outside. Willie could be learning to be a baker or cook.

By the way, if you’re down Texas way and want to visit Willie, visiting hours are Monday to Friday,

8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Call ahead.

Tell him we all said hi.

One person who doesn’t have Willie on his Christmas card list is former Royals’ coach John Lovell. He is the Owen Sound high school teacher who put his teaching career on hold to become coach for the 1991-92 season, the team’s last in Cornwall.

Willie, who took control of the team by buying out his partners, fired Lovell and assistants Paul Fixter and Brian O’Leary minutes after the final game.

A few years ago I bumped into O’Leary at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) conference. He is an Owen Sound councillor. He hadn’t heard about Willie’s demise. The news made his day.

Lovell got off to a bad start with Willie when he left him behind on a trip to Ottawa for the first game of the season. Willie’s orders were that the bus was to leave noon sharp. Anybody who wasn’t on the bus at the appointed hour would be left behind.

When Lovell looked at his watch at saw that it was noon, he told the driver to get the show on the road. Willie arrived 15 minutes later to find the bus had left. After that, it was all down hill.

The scary thing was that Willie thought he knew something about hockey. Legendary 67’s coach Brian Kilrea called him Willie Dumb.

The next season the Royals were in Newmarket and Lovell was coaching Guelph.

After a game between Newmarket and Guelph, Willie, now team president and general manager, and Lovell had what was described as a talkative confrontation in the hallway of the Guelph

arena. Willie, the class act he was/is, spit on Lovell. Not once, but twice. Hey, nobody ever accused Willie of being a class act. Clownish yes. Classy, no.

Ontario Hockey League President Dave Branch nailed Willie with a $5,000 fine and written reprimand. Willie claimed that Lovell swore at his wife. Those who witnessed the scene disputed Willie’s claim.

You can bet the league was happy to kiss Willie goodbye when he sold the club to the Ciccarelli brothers who moved it to Sarnia where it was re-branded as the Sting.

A Cornwall connection remained. Before he moved to Sarnia years earlier, George Heath was the Royals’ superb play-by-play broadcaster during the Central league era. He became the Sting’s first play-by-play man. A couple of times Heath caught himself calling them the Royals.

JULY 1961 – City police said they would not press charges against laundry coin operators who kept their establishments open on Sundays unless a complaint was received. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that under the Lord’s Day Act, coin washes could not open on Sundays. ...

A site west of Alexandria was chosen for the new Glengarry Memorial Hospital. ... Farmers in the United Counties were worried that heavy rains in July would result in crop losses. ... Cornwall high school students Ron Montroy and Allan Aubin completed a 250-mile, 12-day canoe trip through the Rideau Lakes system. They started the journey with 200 pounds of gear. ... Barkley’s General Store in Avonmore opened a meat department after the purchase of Bush’s Meat Market. ... Doug Carpenter was the first

recipient of the Jacques Richard Memorial Trophy given to Cornwall’s outstanding junior athlete. .... A two-storey frame barn on the farm of Romeo Deschamps, Tyotown Road, was destroyed by fire. ... The Cornwall Parking Authority was looking at developing off-street parking lots in the downtown core and in east Cornwall. ... Carolyn Murray, 19, was crowned Stormont Dairy Princess. ... Bruno Lamarche pitched a three-hitter as Cornwall Pepsi whipped Fort Covington 11-0 in a St. Lawrence Senior Baseball League game. Jack Murphy had a pair of base hits and double. Doug Carpenter had a home run and single. ... In North End Fastball League action, Connie Payment tossed a three-hitter as Hodgin’s nipped Emard Lumber 1-0. Russ Harrington had three hits for the winners. ... Novelist Ernest Hemingway died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in his Idaho home.

TRIVIA ANSWER .The House of Refugee – now a long-term care home - on Eleventh Street East is not a designated heritage site. It is listed as a non-designated property.

TRIVIA This popular soft drink was bottled at a plant at Pitt and Eighth streets.

AROUND AND ABOUT - Thumbs up for selecting an indigenous person for the governor-general post. But the decision took a step back on the language file. The new gov-gen does not speak French. Bilingualism – French and English – is not a requirement for the job. Oddly, it is a requirement to coach Les Canadiens. The govgen says she will learn French ASAP. ... Thoughts and prayers go out to Cornwall Sports Hall of Famer Del Bergeron who is undergoing radiation treatment at the Ottawa Hospital.

K6j 1a1 Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

s possibly the sales erage that sold you in the real estate s the sale of your gation.

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

There’s a wonderful display of choreography of along our St. Lawrence Street in Ingleside.

The workers of Malyon Excavation Ltd. are replacing all the concrete slab sidewalks along its the entire length.

As soon as the ready-mix truck’s chute begins to spew out its concrete, a crew of about ten men work as a coordinated team.

Each one has a different tool to do a different job: angling the chute, directing the fast-flowing concrete to be deposited between the forms, spreading the rapidly accumulating mounds around, evening out the accumulation, smoothing it out, making fine adjustments until the finished product is as smooth and level as a billiard table.

The tools are as varied as the tasks. Some

have handles as long as a shovel. Some are just shovels, ordinary shovels. Others have specialized articulated heads. Some tools are like trowels, almost small enough to fit into the workman’s pocket.

Some of the men work on their knees, others dance about as quickly as boxers in a ring.

So very entertaining to watch!

Their performance could be made into a movie. Opening scene: the men wait for the truck to arrive. They could be mistaken for a street gang loitering about on a street corner, ready for a rumble.

Before the pour starts, the sound track could be Aaron Copeland’s “Appalachian Spring”. But when the slurry begins to be disgorged from the chute, the music would switch to RimskyKorasakov’s “The Fight of The Bumblebee”.

Leroy Anderson’s “The Typewriter” would also be appropriate.

Job well done! A tip of my Tilley to one and all. Cue the applause. Let the concrete harden.

LET THE SHOW BEGIN! – At the sound of the concrete truck’s arrival, each performer takes his place, at the ready to play his part. No lights, no music, but lots of action.

Golf tournament raises over $18K for Big Brothers/ Big Sisters NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The annual Big Brothers/ Big Sisters DQ Golf for Kids Sake golf tournament was a great success for the local chapter raising $18,640 for their mentorship programs.

“Big Brothers/ Big Sisters is extremely important to our community so it is so important that we support their programs especially their mentorship programs,” said Nolan Quinn, owner of Dairy Queen Cornwall in an earlier interview with Seaway News.

The event was sold out with 165 golfers participating. Many of the holes at the Cornwall Golf and Country Club also featured sponsors or a variety of competitive activities. One competition encouraged golfers to keep the same ball

throughout the tournament for a chance to be entered into a draw.

Crystal Regnier of Big Brothers/ Big Sisters Cornwall said that participants were very generous this year which helped them to reach over $18,000 in funds raised.

“We want to thank all of our participants for being very generous in their support this year,” Regnier said.

At the tournament, Big Brothers/ Big Sisters Cornwall was accepting donations for their draw for WestJet travel vouchers. The draw for those travel vouchers is still accepting submissions.

Entry to the draw is $10 a ticket with tickets available at the Big Brothers/ Big Sisters Cornwall office on the corner of Third St. and Augustus St. in Cornwall.

NICK SEEBRUCH 613-363-4125 or nseebruch@seawaynews.media

ARIES: You’ll have to make time for your family.

Your children or elderly parents need you. You won’t hesitate to give them your full attention and display your devotion. Love will be felt deeply by sharing small moments.

TAURUS: You might go back to school, or at least sign up for a brief but rewarding course.

Even though it’ll require considerable effort and you don’t have much time to spare, you’ll reap the benefits very quickly.

GEMINI: At work, you’ll likely put in some extra hours and be paid handsomely for it. This extra effort will earn you a promotion and put you in the good graces of upper management. In your love life, romance is in the cards.

CANCER: If you’re about to make a fresh start in your professional life, you’ll finally be on the path to a rewarding career. Your salary will be impressive and allow you to save more. Most importantly, you’ll be able to loosen up and find happiness.

LEO: You’ll be inspired. You’ll manage to define your priorities and visualize your future. You’ll have a realization about a new path to follow, and you’ll have the opportunity to learn about a new culture.

VIRGO: You’ll have to organize an event in accordance with safety restrictions. It’ll only takes a few words to restore the peace with those around you. In your love life, changes need to be made in order to strengthen your connection.

LIBRA: You’ll be promoted after a colleague resigns. A new lifestyle will lead to some great and, at times, surprising accomplishments. Relatives will invite you on a short trip that will go a long way to recharging your batteries.

SCORPIO: A multicultural project in your community will capture your attention. You’ll also sign up for one activity after another. Despite your shy and reserved personality, you’ll follow through on your ideas and achieve your goals.

SAGITTARIUS: It takes time and patience to realize your dreams. After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Collaboration is a great tool to advance your projects, ambitions and goals. Sometimes, it’s necessary to tear things down in order to build.

CAPRICORN: At work or elsewhere, you’ll have to exercise your patience to reach an agreement.

You can’t keep bickering with people. If you have a legal matter to settle, you’ll likely win your case.

AQUARIUS: If you’ve been struggling with health issues, your doctor will finally find the right treatment. At work, you can expect a promotion.

Your significant other will have some tender, romantic words for you.

PISCES: You’ll be proud of a significant achievement. You might save someone, even if it’s just by listening to them at the right moment. This will earn you their eternal gratitude. However, someone else might take advantage of your generosity.

No one has to go to races on Sunday nights anymore, just bring your chair to the corner of Easton & Lefevbre , Walton & Lefevbre and First Street & Lefevbre and watch the speeding of cars up and down the street. Even the chip truck comes by for fries. The Police have to do something as its out of control, and dangerous.

A concerned resident.

Reader says: There ought to be a by-law in regards to GRASS-Cutting on Sundays and/or restrictions on certain time(s) of given days. We enjoy sitting out on weekends to relax and BBQ but it never fails that one neighbour in particular will start grass cutting promptly at 5:30 p.m., a process that runs for about 45 minutes. Please give us a break!!

Reader says: Went downtown on Sunday to walk Pitt Street. Was like a ghost town. The walked over to Farmer’s Market, very poorly organized. Why not put Farmer’s Market on the closed section of Pitt Street to bring some life to the area. Also, wondering why city was so quick to pay Pride Group to paint wall in Park, should have invited our good neighbors from Cornwall Island to paint native designs, show our respect to our native friends, especially now.

Reader says: To the reader who thinks Cornwall drivers are bad he should venture up to Ottawa and / or Gatineau. Their “driving techniques” and lack of obeying rules of the road will make this reader appreciate how Cornwall drivers drive.

Reader says: Thumbs down. A Big thumbs down to the irresponsible dog owners who do not pick up their dog poop in the Dover Road area of Riverdale.

Reader says: Given the way our new mayor was chosen, I think that the Ministry of Transport meant to put “Cronyville” rather than “Cronwall” on the new Highway 417 exit sign to Cornwall.

Ribfest 2021 a success NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Ribfest returned to Cornwall July 22-25, and like last year, this year was a little different than normal. To help follow public health guidelines, the number of individuals allowed in the midway was restricted and spots had to be reserved.

The public however were still enthusiastic in their support of Ribfest, and its beneficiary the Optimist Club of Cornwall.

While it will still be a few weeks before the total amount of money raised for the Optimist Club is calculated, the Optimist Club of Cornwall did release

the following statement of thanks to the residents of Cornwall: WE want to offer a heartfelt thank you to all of you in the community who came out to support the Optimist Club of Cornwall by attending Ribfest this year.

What a wonderful week-end we had!

There was lots of great food, fabulous entertainment and of course, a million SMILES!!! It was fantastic to see everybody after being stuck at home for over a year, and we did it in while still being safe and adhering to all measures in place. Thank you to all the volunteers who came out to help out when needed.

Many thanks to the city and the health unit for the support and guidance and

After purchasing their Friday night dinner at Crabbe’s BBQ Shack at Ribfest, Mike Eamer of Cornwall was happy to share what they would be enjoying a few minutes later.

mostly, THANK YOU again from all of us Optimists. See you next year for a back to normal Ribfest!

In addition to the ribs and the fair rides, there was also live music throughout the weekend from artists such as Grace Willison, Switchgear, The Capital Beatles, John McIntosh and Boundary Road, Hadrians Wall, and Mena Hardy.

In addition to the main event in Lamoureux Park, local restaurants also took part in celebrating Ribfest by taking part in the Community Cookout Contest. Patrons were invited to visit one of the nine participating restaurants between July 16 and July 22 for a chance to win a $1,000 cash prize.
