YOUR CCHF CHECKUP

AMY GILLESPIE CORNWALL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL FOUNDATION

Our community has a vibrant history of wellloved events and fundraisers. For local charities like our Hospital Foundation, fundraising events have been challenged by the impact of COVID-19. Like last year, CCHF will not hold our annual gala in October, but – thanks to our incredible partners at Corus – our Radiothon is right around the corner!

August 25th marks the 15th anniversary of our event. Formerly held in-person at CCH, during the pandemic we’ve prioritized a more

virtual approach. Since its inception, the Radiothon has raised over $1.2 million for medical equipment to change and save local lives.

This year’s fundraising project supports state-of-the-art technology for patients with nonpalpable breast cancer. Thanks to sponsors and donors like you, CCH will join a handful of Canadian hospitals offering Breast Seed Localization (BSL). With this new capability, CCH’s diagnostic and surgical teams can help an additional 2-3 patients with breast cancer each month.

According to the Canadian Cancer Society, an average of 75 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer every day; and 14 will die of the disease. Nonpalpable tumours can’t be found (or felt) during a regular physical exam, but they can be identified through ultrasounds, mammography, or MRI. Traditional vs. Breast Seed Localization Surgeries:

Traditional procedures require a small wire to be inserted in a patient’s breast tissue the morning of their operation. This helps locate the nonpalpable tumour, but the process is time-consuming, complex to schedule and often uncomfortable for patients.

Alternatively, BSL technology creates more comfort and convenience for patients, while increasing precision and flexibility for medical teams.

A diagnostic imaging appointment is scheduled up to five days before surgery. At this appointment, a tiny locator “seed” is injected in breast tissue where the nonpalpable mass is located. The seed can’t be felt once in place. Post-appointment, patients can proceed with their lives as usual. When the operation happens, a probe is used to easily locate the seed, helping the surgeon identify and precisely remove the nonpalpable tumour. The locator seed is removed during the procedure.

Cost associated with this project is approximately $85,000. Additional funds raised from this year’s Radiothon will support urgent medical equipment needs benefitting patients across the hospital.

Your donations make a difference!

Fourth annual Motorcycle Ride for Hospice on Aug. 7 NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The fourth annual Motorcycle Ride for Hospice returns on Saturday, Aug. 7, 2021.

Leaving from the St. Lawrence Blvd. pub at 1207 Second St. W., this year’s ride will be making stops at the Legion in Prescott, and at the Sol De Acapulco Resturante in Ingleside before returning the the St. Lawrence Blvd. pub for an auction and prize giveaway.

Mike Dagenais, an organizer of the Motorcycle Ride for Hospice said that the St. Lawrence Blvd. pub has been a great

supporter of the fundraiser over the years/ “Kim Hurtubise has been collecting money for us year round,” Dagenais said.

Additionally, Dagenais said that the wives of some of the riders have really gotten into helping fundraise for the cause.

“This year we are lucky to have some wives and friends who have gone above and beyond in fundraising and have already collected $12,000 for us,” he said.

The Motorcycle Ride for Hospice is one of Carefor Hospice Cornwall’s biggest

fundraisers of the year, raising more money last year than any other fundraiser for the organization.

In total, over the past three years, the Motorcycle Ride for Hospice has collected over $52,000 for Hospice.

Typically the Motorcycle Ride for Hospice sees 70 to 75 motorcycles participate, and Dagenais is hoping for a big turnout again this year.

Those wishing to register for the Motorcycle Ride for Hospice may do so on Aug. 7 at St. Lawrence Blvd. pub. Preregistration is from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. with the price of admission being $25.

CCH to begin safely welcoming more visitors PROVIDED BY THE CCH CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) is announcing some changes to its visitation policies as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to improve locally.

Beginning July 28, CCH will remain under moderate visitation restrictions but updates to the framework will now allow one partner or visitor to accompany patients for obstetrical ultrasounds, to and from dialysis (but not staying for the appointment itself), surgery (same day admitted patients only), and emergency department visits.

Women in labour will also be able to identify up to two essential care partners for the birth and delivery, which could include a doula.

With these latest updates most patients at CCH are now able to safely welcome visitors or be accompanied for visits.

The full breakdown of moderate visitation restrictions can be found online at www.cornwallhospital.ca/en/VisitingHours.

“We understand the importance of having family and care partners accompany or visit patients. Safely allowing more visitors is an extremely important part of providing compassionate and high-quality patient-centered care,” says Jeanette Despatie, President and CEO. CCH is continually monitoring the prevalence of COVID-19 locally and evaluating changes to its visitation policies based on guidance received by the provincial government. The hospital hopes to safely ease

more visitor restrictions for in the coming weeks should local case counts continue dropping and vaccination rates hold steady.

“However, we must continue to be vigilant and safe. As our community begins to re-open, it is important to remember that

hospitals are faced with unique challenges and follow specific infection prevention and control guidance provided by the province which may be more restrictive than other community public health guidelines,” adds Despatie.

Hey, COVID’s not all bad!

“It’s an ill wind that blows nobody any good” and “Every cloud has a silver lining”. The COVID pandemic has certainly been a blustery ill wind and its cloud has been oppressive.

However, let me count some positive spin-offs from what we’ve been enduring since that unwelcome visitor spread itself throughout the world.

Let’s start at home. Moms and dads aren’t spending hours commuting to work every day.

Their children are getting to see their parents far more, even having a sit-down breakfast with them. Parents are getting a revealing look at the education their children are trying to get on-line.

There’s time to teach youngsters how to do some cooking and ride their little bikes properly. Bicycle dealers are doing quite well as they keep up with increased demand for whatever they have in

stock.

The money that would have been spent on the Caribbean cruise or the fourteen-day seven-country European tour is now being invested in doing some gardening, adding a deck to the house and re-shingling the roof.

At some grocery stores, the staff have been cruising the aisles to fill our on-line orders, then bringing what was on the customers’ shopping list to the door of our cars. It’s no longer just ‘greeters’ at the door. There now are cart sanitizers and head-counters, ensuring that the restricted store capacities aren’t exceeded.

In addition to the traditional greeters, our churches are following the same protocols. We are asked to hand sanitize, followed by “Sign in, please!”, for contact-tracing purposes. That’s reminiscent of the routine followed by the mystery guests on the TV series “What’s My Line?”

Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to see a hand sanitizer dispenser substituted for holy water in the dry font at the foyer of a church.

I’m sure some of the tankers, rail tank cars and pipelines that are plying the high seas and

criss-crossing the countryside are now carrying Purell and other brands of hand sanitizers, rather than crude oil and diesel fuel.

During WW II, factories were busily churning out vast quantities of Plexiglas, Lucite, and Perspex for bomber windshields and gun turrets.

They are now back in business making transparent barriers to protect bank tellers and grocery store cashiers from the potential hazardous droplets of customers’ breath. Unfortunately, transactional dialogue is muffled by those invisible walls and face masks.

Pre-COVID, you would have set off the bank’s alarm system if you entered wearing a mask.

These days, staff get alarmed if you enter without wearing a mask.

Factories are now producing enough yellow cordon-off barrier tape to encircle the Earth and even reach to the most distant planet. Signwriters are having a field day printing off precaution signs and stick-on one-way aisle arrows.

To “No shirt, no shoes: no service!” has been added “No mask – no entry!”

Jobs, jobs, jobs!

Compared to the eat-in dining establishments, take-out and drive-thru restaurants and packaged food deliverers are doing well. Many of the former eat-in restaurants have erected tents to accommodate their patio deck customers. I don’t think their iced tea will need ice cubes if patio dining has to continue next January.

Thank you for your work CAROL GODDARD SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS CORNWALL, Ontario – Board members of the Bereaved Families of Ontario, South Eastern Region gathered with Cornwall Councillor Justin Towndale at the bandshell in Lamoureux Park on July 31 to present Mary Alanna McQuillan with a card of thanks in recognition of her dedication and service to the organization. In his comments during the presentation, Towndale thanked McQuillan for her dedicated service before commenting how people are all touched by loss and the services of the organization will assist those coping with the loss of a loved one.

McQuillan is a retired paediatric ICU nurse, has volunteered as a grief facilitator at Camp Erin Eastern Ontario as well as being a dedicated grief facilitator trainer and volunteer

with the BFO. She mentioned her work with BFO South Eastern Region involves training grief facilitators, raising the profile of the organization locally and exploring collaborative fundraising opportunities.

Stephanie White, treasurer of the BFO South Eastern Region, explained the anonymous donor of the Cole’s Bookstore gift card, which was included in the card, was very appreciative of McQuillan’s contributions to the organization. White continued how Mary Alanna has been a driving force to ensure the organization returns to Cornwall to serve those dealing with a loss. She then continued how a post on social media by councillor Towndale had led to the completion of the organization’s board of directors which is an important step in its return locally.

For more information, please visit their website at www.bfocornwall.ca.

Province announces $14.7 million for local high speed internet projects NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

ONTARIO – In an announcement made by Ontario Infrastructure Minister Kinga Surma on Monday, July 26 the province pledged to invest $14.7 million in high speed internet projects through their Improving Connectivity Stormont, Dundas, South Glengarry MPP Jim McDonell celebrated the news, saying that it will help improve internet access for residents in under served areas of his riding such as Akwesasne, Crysler, and Maxville.

“This announcement is another step in our

ambitious plan to rollout high-speed Internet to all Ontarians, no matter where they live, by 2025,” said Jim McDonell, MPP for StormontDundas-South Glengarry. “During the pandemic, my daughter could not work from home in her role as an elementary school teacher.

This problem is all too common in rural Ontario, and our government has committed to addressing it through the largest single investment in high-speed internet in Canadian history.”

This funding announcement is a part of a larger $4 billion initiative to bring high speed internet to all Ontario communities by 2025.

“Today’s announcement builds on Ontario’s historic $4 billion investment in broadband to connect all Ontarians to reliable, high-speed internet by the end of 2025,” said Graydon Smith, President, Association of Municipalities of Ontario and Mayor of the Town of Bracebridge.

“These investments will underpin Ontario’s competitiveness and prosperity and improve access to economic opportunity in every part of Ontario.”

We are about to enter an era of elections NICK SEEBRUCH

6 - Wednesday, August 4, 2021

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

They talk about “election season” but what we are about to enter will truly be an era or an age of elections in our region.

Elections are more than just the day you cast your ballot. Any election will consist of a (sometimes lengthy) campaign season, and of course the gamesmanship that comes before the campaign where parties or candidates begin spending or signaling their stances on particular issues.

Buzz has been growing for months that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will call a late summer/ early autumn election.

If a federal election does indeed come to pass, then I think shortly after that we’ll be gearing up for a provincial election. The last provincial election was on June 7, 2018 which brought Doug Ford to power, so whether he wants it or not, Ford will have to call an election within nine months of the federal election.

Just months after a prospective provincial election, we will have a municipal election. The last municipal elections were at the end of October 2018.

Seeing as we are on the cusp of a full year of election season, after election season, after election season, now seems like a good time to take a look at the lay of the land.

Starting at the federal level, I’d say that locally, MP Eric Duncan is probably pretty secure. He has the incumbent’s advantage and throughout his first term he has been engaged locally and visible even in the age of social distancing.

Furthermore, Duncan has found an issue at the federal level that he has been able to bring national attention to, the gay blood ban. Duncan has been critical of the Liberal government’s failure to lift this discriminatory ban for more than a year now and I think that Duncan’s advocacy on this issue has been one of the bright spots of the Conservatives current term in Opposition.

All that being said, I think Trudeau’s position is relatively secure. Erin O’Toole has failed to rally support amongst his own party let alone the nation. I think we’ll either see another minority Liberal government or even another Liberal majority.

Provincially, the COVID-19 pandemic has done a lot to take much of the shine off of Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservatives who surged to a majority government last election after over a decade in the political wilderness.

This is one where everything will be decided on the campaign trail and it will be up for grabs for any of the three major parties, I think.

The political landscape is most uncertain at the local level. When former Mayor Bernadette Clement was appointed to the Canadian Senate, local politics in Cornwall was upended.

When Clement was elected to the Mayor’s seat in 2018 she won more votes than the next two candidates combined. I think that if she wanted to run for another term she would have one again handily and rightly so, she did a great job as our mayor with strong leadership and effective communication.

Long-time Cornwall Councillor Glen Grant was elevated to Mayor last month but has said that he won’t be seeking re-election. He won’t be the only familiar face who won’t be returning. Nearly half of Council have indicated publicly that they won’t be seeking re-election.

With this many expected departures, this leaves open the chance for new personalities with new ideas to come forward to fill the void, nature after all abhors a vacuum.

It is still a long way off, but those thinking of getting in the race should start thinking about it now.

How do you feel about the upcoming elections? Email me a Letter to the Editor at nseebruch@seawaynews.media

3 MINUTES WITH THE MPP

JIM MCDONELL MPP STORMONT-DUNDAS-SOUTH GLENGARRY

As we pass the midpoint of the summer, we must thank our vaccination teams for the great strides made in our race against COVID19. But, we have a distance to go before we defeat this virus, especially in the 12 to 30-year-olds. A study by Public Health Ontario revealed that of the more than 403,000 individuals contacting the virus between last December and July 10, only 0.4% of them were fully vaccinated, and 4% had received one dose. They are now referring to this as a pandemic of the unvaccinated. We need to reach the 75% fully vaccinated milestone to remove the Step 3 restrictions and push up to 90% to reduce the risk of a fourth wave.

Recent vaccine deliveries have resulted in additional time slots, allowing one to book your appointment or re-book earlier. If your current selection is several weeks away, visit www.ontario.ca/bookvaccine or calling 1-888999-6488 if you have a red and white OHIP

In 2018, approximately 700,000 households and businesses in Ontario did not have access to adequate high-speed internet. Our government committed $4 billion in our spring budget to provide a minimum internet speed of 50/10 Mb/s to all Ontarians by 2025, and this week we took the next steps in our ambitious plan. First, we announced $14.7 million in funding to serve 44 communities encompassing 17,000 homes and businesses. On Thursday, we followed up with a joint federal/provincial program of $1.2 billion to connect over 280,000 underserved homes. Over the next nine months, we will be focusing our new reverse auction procurement system to serve the remaining 300,000 households and businesses. Adequate internet connection speeds are essential to Ontario’s health and prosperity, and why we have made the largest financial commitment of any government in Canada, including the federal government.

Stay safe, and enjoy the rest of our beautiful summer.

OPINION

He could never forget the crash scene EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

Dave Grant said his father, Earl, never forgot the horrible images of torn bodies and burning wreckage thrown across a peaceful pasture near the family home after a Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) bomber crashed in the Martintown area on Aug. 6, 1943.

“My dad told me he would never forget the (grisly) sight,” said Grant. “It really bothered him.”

His father was one of several nearby residents on the scene shortly after the military plane, on a routine flight out of Dorval, crashed.

The twin-engine Hudson bomber went down after experiencing engine trouble.

It exploded on impact. The three crew members were thrown from the wreckage. Officials said the bodies were badly burned and dismembered.

There was one report that a witnesses saw one of the crew trying to get out of the plane before it crashed.

All were from the RCAF training base at Dorval. Two of the dead crew members were from the United States – First Officer John M. Smither of California and Pilot Leland Cooper of San Antonio, Texas. Sgt. George Newman of Victoria, B.C. was the third victim.

Farmers bringing in hay heard the low-flying bomber circling overhead just before noon with its engines sputtering.

Witnesses said the plane attempted a crash landing in the pasture but just before touching down it accelerated and started to climb. About 200 feet up it took a nose-dive into the pasture, just missing high voltage hydro lines, and

Callum McDermid, who watched the plane circle overhead while he was taking in hay, said the plane’s engines were making a “peculiar” noise before attempting a crash landing in a nearby field. A resident half-a-mile away said the explosion shook her house.

Military investigators were on the scene within two hours of the crash. For two days the site was guarded by the military as hundreds of of sightseers swarmed to the Meek farm pasture.

Shortly after a Cornwall coroner visited the scene, the remains were gathered up and transported to Dorval air base.

When the investigation was completed, the two engines were loaded on a flat bed truck and taken to Dorval air base.

La CNS surveille la santé des bassins versants pendant l’été COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LA CNS FINCH, Ontario - Pour plusieurs, l’été est synonyme de vacances, de détente et de temps d’arrêt.

C’est le moment de sortir et de profiter de la beauté des paysages situés sur le territoire de 4 441 km² de la Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) dans l’Est de l’Ontario. Pour la CNS, la belle saison est le moment de surveiller les cours d’eau locaux afin de dresser un portrait de la santé du bassin versant et d’orienter les futurs projets de développement et d’intendance. Cet été, la CNS a surveillé les cours d’eau et les zones humides du sous-bassin versant du ruisseau South Bear dans la ville d’Ottawa, qui comprend des régions

urbaines et rurales de la partie est de la Ville d’Ottawa. Le personnel a prélevé des échantillons d’eau pour identifier les zones importantes d’apport d’eau souterraine, a évalué la qualité de l’eau et recueilli des informations sur les espèces de poissons et l’habitat aquatique. « La surveillance de la santé des ressources naturelles de notre bassin versant nous permet de mieux comprendre les problèmes auxquels est confronté l’environnement local », explique Katherine Watson, Spécialiste des ressources en eau de la CNS. « Nous utilisons ces données pour concentrer nos actions là où elles sont le plus nécessaires, et suivre les progrès au fil du temps. »

Une partie de cette surveillance environnementale de base est financée par la Ville et soutient l’examen de la planification environnementale, les programmes d’intendance et la conservation de l’habitat. La CNS procède également à l’échantillonnage de la qualité des eaux souterraines et de surface pour le compte de la province. Ces programmes de surveillance à long terme permettent d’évaluer la santé du bassin versant et d’estimer l’impact des modifications de l’utilisation des terres au fil du temps.

La CNS soutient la planification des sous-bassins versants en élaborant des études sur les bassins versants de certaines régions de la province.

Les données recueillies contribuent également à

produire les bulletins de santé des sous-bassins versants, qui rendent compte de la qualité des eaux de surface et des eaux souterraines locales ainsi que de la couverture forestière et des zones humides. « Nous avons hâte d’utiliser les données de surveillance de cette année pour prendre des décisions fondées sur la science qui protégeront et amélioreront l’environnement local », ajoute Mme Watson.

L’HCC commence à accepter davantage de visiteurs, de façon sécuritaire COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE L’HCC CORNWALL, Ontario - L’Hôpital communautaire de Cornwall annonce des changements à ses politiques de visite en raison de l’amélioration de la situation locale concernant la pandémie de COVID-19. Dès le 28 juillet, les restrictions modérées demeureront en vigueur à l’HCC, mais l’actualisation du cadre permettra à un partenaire ou à un visiteur d’accompagner les patientes et les patients pour les échographies obstétricales, la dialyse, les interventions chirurgicales (admissions pour les chirurgies d’un jour uniquement) et les visites au Service d’urgence

(SU). Les femmes en travail pourront aussi désigner jusqu’à deux partenaires de soins essentiels pour la naissance et l’accouchement, y compris une doula. Avec ces dernières mises à jour, la plupart des patients à l’HCC peuvent maintenant recevoir des visiteurs de façon sécuritaire ou être accompagnés pendant une visite.

Tous les renseignements ayant trait aux restrictions modérées concernant les visites se trouvent au www.cornwallhospital.ca/fr/ Heuresdevisites. « Nous comprenons qu’il est important que

des membres de la famille ou des partenaires de soins accompagnent les patients ou les visitent, dit la présidente et directrice générale de l’HCC, Jeanette Despatie. Permettre davantage de visiteurs, de façon sécuritaire, constitue un volet extrêmement important afin de donner des soins de compassion et de grande qualité axés sur les patients. » L’HCC suit sans cesse la prévalence des cas de COVID-19 dans la région et il évalue les changements à ses politiques de visite en suivant les conseils du gouvernement provincial.

L’établissement espère alléger davantage de

restriction au cours des prochaines semaines, de façon sécuritaire, si le nombre de cas dans la région continue de baisser et si les taux de vaccination demeurent stables. « Cependant, nous devons continuer à faire de vigilance et à agir de façon sécuritaire, ajoute Despatie. Alors que notre communauté amorce sa réouverture, il faut se rappeler que les hôpitaux doivent faire face à des défis uniques et suivre les conseils sur la prévention et le contrôle des infections de la province, qui sont parfois plus stricts que d’autres lignes directrices communautaires de santé publique. »

WILLIAMSTOWN, Ontario – The 210th edition of the Williamstown Fair is just around the corner. Canada’s oldest agricultural fair will once again be a drive-thru experience this year, but the organizing committee has gone above and beyond to ensure that it is still a fun experience for all with a lot to offer.

Running from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 7 the 210th Williamstown Fair will have decorated floats, a tree giveaway, and a scarecrow contest, like last year, but St. Lawrence Valley Agricultural Society President Chelsea Hope says that guests this year can expect to see a little extra.

“We are hoping to add a little bit more than last year,” she said.

So far, the Fair has 25 floats committed to the event, including return submissions from Rozon Insurance, the Green Thumbs, local schools, and Lang’s Corn.

To make the event more accessible and to extend it into the later hours, this year the committee has invested in lighting and are encouraging guests who cannot make it during the day to still come at night.

“I would encourage people to come out, even if it is dark,” Hope said.

Last year’s event saw over 600 cars drive through the fair grounds.

New this year, there will be live music provided by local artists that guests can tune into via their FM radio.

This year’s scarecrow competition has the theme of Glengarry My Home, and Hope is encouraging entrants to submit scarecrows that best represent all that is good about Glengarry County.

While not for public viewing, the Fair will still hold private competitions for cattle and horseback riding.

“We still want to be sure that we are considered to be a fair,” said Hope.

Finding friendship in independence We all like our independence, but we likely have come to take it for granted. For people living with disabilities, independence is something they strive for every day. Through the Carefor Befriending Program’s Social Club, adults with physical disabilities can feel a sense of freedom from their everyday challenges by spending time with their friends.

Matt Runions has been a member of the Social Club for over 15 years and is fond of his Carefor family. “We’re all friends here, and it’s a lot of fun,” Matt explained. From going bowling to now doing activities online, Matt knows he can count on the group to feel independent and included. He shared, “This is my thing I can do without my parents.

Although I do like going for coffee and other things with them, this is just for me.” Club activities also allow caregivers to unwind and gives them peace of mind knowing their loved one is safe with the Club.

Lisa Steer-Vachon, Team Leader of the Social Club for the past 10 years has seen firsthand the impact autonomy has had on the 110 members of the Club. “This program is important because everyone should have

peers that they can socialize with and confide in,” Lisa explained. For Club members, a sense of independence helps build their self-confidence and can make them feel more empowered and fulfilled through engagement with others outside their family circle. Lisa shared, “Independence promotes confidence and self esteem. It helps people feel secure, strong and makes everyone less vulnerable.

Our members find support and encouragement outside of the home.”

An important element the Befriending Program prides itself on is offering inclusive activities, where members can choose to participate without barriers. Lisa explained, “Having accessible activities is what really brings people together. Everyone in the group knows no matter what we’re doing and where we’re doing it, it’s going to be accessible and they feel a sense of independence. Trying something new is always a little scary but our program encourages each other to do everything we can to live a life filled with friendship and laughs.”

Matt, who lives with his loving parents looks forward to being able to be see his friends in-person once the Club can

HOW TO IMPROVE AS A GOLFER WITH BETTER PRACTICE SESSIONS

Did you know?

Evidence of people playing games similar to golf can be traced back to the Middle Ages and earlier, but historians mostly agree that the Scottish invented golf as we know it today. The sport was so popular in Scotland, in fact, that King James II banned it in a 1457 declaration, citing the fact that it was distracting citizens from practicing archery. The saying that golf is an acronym for “Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden” is a myth: there are records of women golfers as early as the 1700s.

When it comes to time spent at the driving range, quality is more important than quantity. Here are some tips to maximize your practice sessions.

START BY STRETCHING Before you begin, you should always stretch. This way, you’ll be looser when swinging and less likely to pull a muscle.

Some key areas to focus on are your hamstrings, shoulders, wrists and back.

PRACTISE THE SHOTS YOU HIT MOST Whether you decide to head to the driving range for an hour or want to squeeze in a 30-minute warm-up before playing a full round, your practice time is limited.

Go to your session with a plan and be sure to allocate ample time to your short game. For most players, about two-thirds of their shots are within 100 yards of the hole.

AIM YOUR SHOTS At the driving range, amateur golfers have a tendency to plant themselves on the practice mat and start letting shots rip. However, out on the course, every shot has to be targeted. To practise more effectively on the driving range, aim at specific targets.

PRACTISE ON THE COURSE If you have the opportunity to play by

yourself during an off-time, this is an ideal way to improve your game. Don’t be afraid to set aside the rules and hit two or three balls from the same position, as this is a great way to experiment with club selection.

Finally, if you’re struggling with your game, consider signing up for lessons with a golf pro in your area to get yourself back on track.

If you’re no fan of team sports or intense physical exertion but would like to take up a somewhat active pastime, then golf could be the perfect fit. It’s the kind of sport that’s tough to master — it requires quite a bit of endurance, perseverance and precision — yet easy as pie to learn. Beginner lessons are popular among aspiring golfers of all ages, so you should have no trouble finding someone close by to be your guide.

A MULTIFACETED SPORT Not only will playing golf keep you physically fit but it will sharpen your mind as well. This sport requires body awareness, as the slightest movement can make or break your game.

During your lessons you’ll practice driving, long shots, putting and so on, as well as perfect your swing, work on your balance and find your perfect stance.

Certified instructors — who are often pro golfers — can teach you the basics of the sport so that you can hit the course with confidence. As your instructor shows you how to position yourself, choose the right club and develop your swing, his or her passion for golf is sure to rub off on you.

By the way, don’t let snow-covered courses and sub-Arctic weather stop you from practicing: your local indoor golf facility provides a cozy spot for you to practice your swing until springtime.

Matthew Runions and Sabrina Lister at the 2019. congregate. Matt shared, “I miss my friends, and can’t wait to see them. This Club is important to me and all of them.”

Cooper Marsh Conservators respond to RRCA NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – The Cooper Marsh Conservators (CMC) have responded to the Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA)’s decision to break ties with their group.

The CMC are a volunteer group who for decades have assisted the RRCA in the management of Cooper Marsh and the protection of the wildlife that live there.

What caused the rupture in the relationship between the two organizations is the potential development of land adjacent to the Marsh.

Run Guo Investments Canada Ltd./Fotenn Planning + Design petitioned the Township of South Glengarry to rezone land that they own just east of Cooper Marsh to allow for the development of 25 camping sites.

The RRCA did not object to the rezoning, and it was later approved by the Township of South Glengarry.

According to the RRCA, the CMC has been lobbying against this development, and they say that as a Conservation Authority they must remain apolitical.

“Over the last several months, CMC has

been involved in political activities which are inconsistent with the RRCA’s statutory mandate,” reads a statement from the RRCA released on July 16. “In general, no conservation authority in Ontario may, directly or indirectly, engage in political activities regarding development projects. The RRCA’s role in development projects that fall within its jurisdiction is circumscribed by the Conservation Authorities Act. Any departure from this clearly defined statutory role exposes the RRCA to legal jeopardy and negatively impacts its ability to deliver programs and services that further the conservation, restoration, development, and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario.”

Since July 2020, the CMC states that it has been involved in organizing grassroots support, creating a Facebook page, fundraising, writing letters and issuing a petition calling for further examination of the environmental impact of the proposed development.

The CMC state that they believe that the Environmental Impact Study conducted by the property owners “failed to fully examine the potential impact such a development could have on the adjacent environmentally

sensitive Cooper Marsh.”

Furthermore, the CMC is particularly concerned for endangered wildlife that nests near the the eastern edge of Cooper Marsh including the Least Bittern and Blandings Turtle.

The CMC’s petition has garnered over 2,500 signatures and the Facebook group Protect Cooper Marsh has over 2,300 people following the page.

The CMC state that in May of 2021 the RRCA informed them that the activities of the Protect Cooper Marsh Facebook group created a conflict with their statutory need to be apolitical. The CMC shut down the Facebook page, but state that allowing the development to go forward unopposed put themselves in conflict with their own articles of incorporation.

“Since the Conservators’ purpose in its articles of incorporation is “to preserve and protect flora and fauna by protecting and maintaining the Cooper Marsh Conservation Area”, the Agreement had put the Conservators into the impossible position of trying to fulfill their duty to “preserve, protect and maintain” Cooper Marsh, while at the same time, abiding by the terms of an Agreement with RRCA that prohibited

activities which might be construed as lobbying or political,” reads a statement from the CMC. The CMC admits that some of its members, independently of the organization, continued to lobby for further study of the proposed development, which is what lead to the end of their relationship with the RRCA. ”It should never have been this difficult for people of good will in the CMC to advocate for the benefit of sound public policy and the protection of the wildlife in the wetlands of Cooper Marsh.” said CMC Board member and South Glengarry resident, David Martel.

The CMC says it is at a crossroads in terms of how to move forward. They state that they have raised $750,000 over the years to support Cooper Marsh and have been involved in many improvement projects at the wetland including rebuilding all the boardwalks, new viewing platforms, signage, and open water habitat restoration.

The CMC states that in the fall they will be holding a meeting to discuss the future of the organization, which has been in operation since 1997.

SDG extends support program for new businesses UNITED COUNTIES of SD&G, Ontario – The United Counties of SD&G is extending the deadline for their Regional Incentives Program.

The Regional Incentives Program was launched by the United Counties in 2018 to help grow and expand small businesses.

Since its inception, the Regional Incentives program has invested over $600,000 which has stimulated over $4.2 million in construction projects.

“The Regional Incentives Program is a tool to help grow and expand our businesses in Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. This program is reducing the number of vacant commercial buildings within our communities, while creating jobs, tourism and agricultural experiences as well as inspiring a new generation of entrepreneurs to grow their business,” said Tara Kirkpatrick, Manager of Economic Development for the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry.

To be eligible for the program, businesses must meet a number of criteria, including

demonstrating that they meet regional economic initiatives identified by the United Counties which include: Stimulate investment in tourism and in the agricultural sector by funding diverse, on-farm expansions and agri-tourism.

Encourage redevelopment and private sector investment in existing building stock within the Counties to support employment, reduce the number of vacant commercial, institutional and

Aug. 28!

Sorry to see the Pitt St. experiment end early. I think there was a real missed opportunity there on the weekends to make opening the street to pedestrians, and closing it to traffic, an attraction to bring down more clients for downtown businesses. Schnitzels did a great job taking the lead. They got live music and really gave people a reason to come down and check out downtown and they should be applauded for the advocacy and leadership they have shown.

Reader says: When I did a research on gas powered equipment like lawn mowers it stated they are very inefficient, which PHARMACY PHARMACIE means that despite their small size they produce a lot of air pollution. In fact, running an older gas-powered lawn mower for 1 HOUR can produce as much air pollution, as driving a car for 550 kilometers, otherwise from Cornwall to Niagara Falls. 1 HOUR of pollution! People we are going to electric cars so lets all do our part and go to electric rechargeable lawn mowers and all other equipment. Let’s think of the Earth and our children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren. UP TO US!

The problem is, we fail to recognize what we do have ourselves. As example: Cornwall has one of the most beautiful rivers in the world right at our doorstep, but not recognizing its value, the powers that be allow it to be hidden from view by berms, overgrowth of trees and brush in uncontrolled areas along the bike paths, buildings that could of been located elsewhere, and general untidiness of the river shoreline.

It’s strange how it affects some but not others. Genes maybe? Please people in country farms check your pets for ticks, they suck the blood out of you best friends....

A young, local family had their lives changed forever in July of 2018. Their youngest daughter, at only 7 years old was the youngest in Canada to be diagnosed with Systemic Scleroderma. Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease that affects the skin, joints, muscles, and eventually internal organs. Fast forward to May 2021, their eldest daughter, at 14 was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma (bone cancer).The family is doing almost daily trips to CHEO and using the services from the Ronald MacDonald house in Ottawa. This fundraiser is to promote awareness and to raise funds for Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario and the Scleroderma Society of Ontario.

South Stormont donates 100-acres of wetland to RRCA NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

SOUTH STORMONT, Ontario – The Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA) has announced that it has accepted a donation of 100-acres of wetland known as Lakeview Marsh from the Township of South Stormont.

“The Township of South Stormont recognizes the value of preserving natural spaces in the community” said Bryan McGillis, South Stormont Mayor and RRCA Chair. “By donating this land to the RRCA, the Township is ensuring this wetland and forest will be preserved and protected in perpetuity.”

Lakeview Marsh is located north of

Cornwall’s Guindon Park, and is home to an abandoned railway and the RRCA says that it is a popular spot for bird watching.

“We are honoured the Township selected the RRCA for their land donation. This site is important to the community and the RRCA. We look forward to engaging with the general public and neighbors about the site,” said Richard Pilon, RRCA’s General Manager.

The RRCA states that in the coming months it will be engaging with neighbouring landowners to discuss future uses of the Picture of the abandoned rail line in Lakeview Marsh. Submitted photo. property.
